Another out of character comment

That is to say, politics. I have a question: what will it take to stop the American political process from placing a center of gravity in 1968? I had hoped that having a candidate that wasn't even in double digits of age in 1968 would be sufficient, but people are now arduously tracking down those of the requisite age who he has had contact with, lest anyone forget how important the late 60's were. 

At this point I'm beginning to suspect it might take the death of everyone born prior to 1953. In future years, I might have to raise that date, but it's possible that even when there is no one alive who knew anyone who was alive in 1968 that we'll still be asking whether their great grandparents had a student deferment to the Vietnam war and what that meant.
