good lord that's a long list, what is it supposed to tell you about me if I say that I have personally experienced 20 of them?
oh and to answer your other question, the only significance i see in this list and how I would be different than other CD poster is that i did not come from a religious background and never went to church, unless it was for a wedding. I believe that colors my perception of the rest of the world and I'm sure you're opinion of me.

I bolded the ones I remember. I believe we only had 5 or 6 channels when I was a kid. And you had to get up to change the channel, a dial on the front of the TV.
I didn't HAVE a SAHM, but I am one. Does that count?

Oh wow. I remember lots of these. We had a party phone line on our rotary phone, and our phone number actually started with letters. Also remember when you could only buy pop in the glass soda bottles where you needed a bottle opener.

I'll give you some examples. Do you think a person, that is used to instant information/instant communication/instant video to expose liars and hypocrites almost immediately, has a more jaded outlook about political leaders and their slow/fast reaction to problems/issues? Do you think a person who was never exposed to the military draft has the same opinions of war as people who were drafted or might have been drafted?
