re: #11 Belafon

Gen Xer here. We had Ayatollahs in Iran, Russians in Afghanistan. AIDS, crack, Bernie Goetz, China under Martial law (sorry, we didn’t start this fire). Reagan’s Star Wars and massive weapons buildup. Chernobyl.

We had our duck and cover drills. And we’ve lived through everything since, including 9/11, active shooter drills, mass shootings becoming so commonplace that unless you have double digit dead, it barely rates as a national story.
