Dysfunctional ?.....yea but heart ultimately trumps mean. There's that hope anyway.

Class of 77.

I was there when Nixon and Agnew left office in disgrace.

My only regret was that Nixon resigned in the summer denying us the opportunity to have a party in honor of his resignation.

I went back for summer school in 88 and 89 and it was a much different place.  They were called "Reagan babies" and it was a disgusting phenomenon.

We shot down an Iranian airliner over the Persian Gulf and it was obvious to us Vietnam era people that the Military was lying through its teeth.

The NYT coverage was "Pentagon sources......."

And all the Reagan babies were taking what followed "Pentagon sources" as factual reporting.  I had this class in IR from Bob Noel and I was the only person, and I had to stand up and say it, "Pentagon sources" is code for "lying bastars covering their own __es."

They all looked at me, in my early 30's, as if I was from the moon.

The Pentagon was lying of course, but that did not come out for 5 or 6 years.

Things are back to being OK there now though, check this out.
