1. You kids don't remember 1968?
I do, and that is why we all need to get behind our nominee and not battle amongst ourselves.

23. I remember
it well. I was there and it was a very wild night.

We really do not want to go there again.

28. No, that's why we need a legal system
that treats police as humans instead of infallible gods.

so after Mother's Day is over we can start wishing me a Happy Birthday.

6. 54
on the 14th. Our birthdays fall on Mother's Day every now and then; that's pretty cool. Did you ever streak back in the "good old days?" I was a student at the University of Arkansas and we went through the streaking faze.

21. No,
I was too inhibited for that! You were obviously a freer soul than I was in those days.

7. Happy birthday, youngster!
I've got three years on you--was already in the work force and far away from campus when the streaking craze hit.

10. Thanks My Friend
Streaking up and down Dickson Street in Fayetteville. Ah, the College Life, the books, the intense studying, cramming for tests, drinking mass quantities of beer and getting naked and running to absolutely nowhere. God Bless America!

19. Please let me not turn into one of those "You weren't even born when ____ happened" people.
I work with this woman (35) who always seems to be blown away that I'm too young (28) to remember when Star Wars came out or something. This little game gets dumb really fast. Especially when it works for anyone who is older than anyone else.

27. Well... not Truman but I do remember the exciting 1952 Dem Convention
Three ballots before Stevenson got it

I was only 8 but found it exciting.

My family was military and we were living in Germany but both were from Illinois so I guess that's why they followed it.
