Share what you know about the year you were born.

It was fifty years ago, yet although the actual incident occurred in 1972, the ensuing Watergate hearings were the talk during my birth. Of course, for years, I couldn’t understand why Richard Nixon was vilified by the adults around me. It was also so current, and it seemed a taboo political discussion, that it was never explained in school. Yet, of course, like anything, I did find out, and the man’s ridicule certainly made sense.

Today, Watergate, although historic, being that it forced a president’s resignation, is more of a side note. The Vietnam War, in these modern times, is certainly more prominent. Yet, the scandal will live in many historian’s minds.

Have an Excellent Day!
