Reply #63: Sort of off topic, but what is middle aged these days? [View All]

I am 41, am I middle aged? I don't think of myself that way, but if I look at the average life expectancy (for women) I suppose I am?

Now to address the question. LOL

I was 10 when Nixon resigned, so too young to really understand the nuts and bolts.

Iran-Contra was a disgrace, I am still amazed Reagan wasn't impeached and Bush 1 re-elected. In hindsight I can believe Reagan was out of it, he was probably in the beginning stages of Alzheimer's.

I've never seen anything like what we are living though now. This is the first time I can recall that the press has been so complicit in the crimes.

MHO, I think that is huge difference, the media lost their independence and we suffered for it.
