Get real. Carter took office in '77. In '77 Jeff was what, 16 years old? Inflation is a BIG concern for the average 16 year old.

Jeff was 12 during the OPEC embargo. I can hear it now; "Those ****ing Arab bastards!" from a 12 year old.

I was a little kid in '73, but I remember even/odd license plate number gas lines. I remember my parents griping about it. I remember them griping about inflation, too. And for those younger, who don't really remember high inflation and what it did to people, it's not hard to research and find out if high inflation is good for people or not.

I don't remember slavery, but somehow I am still responsible for it. It would seem age is not a valid way to sidestep an issue.

It would be great if we could just discuss issues on merit, without the ad hominem attacks.


"I think X is good, here's why."

"No, X is bad, and here are the reasons it's bad."

Something like this is what would work better.

I'd rather make noise and possibly accomplish nothing, than remain silent and definitely accomplish nothing.

Silence about how jacked up things are getting, is a contributor to the problem.

You sure know how to twist titties Jeff. I find it amusing but it drags these threads out way too long.

Maybe it is time to move political threads to the politics forum here. I know of a few good members who don't participate often here because of these types of threads.

I am so very fortunate...hell it may be white privilege...but I have this small device that communicates with my computer, that will let me scroll right on by a topic I don't want to participate in.

I can post a link on Amazon if anyone else wants one.

I was also a little kid in 1973, and I don't remember waiting in a gas line ever. My family had one car, and my dad took the train to/from work in downtown Chicago every day. The car was driven occasionally during the week for shopping and other errands, and on weekends. Somehow they figured out how to buy gasoline without waiting in long lines.

By 1979 I was in high school, and again I don't remember ever waiting in a line to buy gasoline.

I'm guessing that some areas of the country were hit harder than others.
