I started school in the late 80’s and lived in a small rural town in a very red state.

Thanks for the info. It helps to know how old a person is & what milieu he or she grew up in to get a sense of "where they are coming from" so to speak. And I think that when each of us takes the time to locate ourselves in history & geographically, it helps to stop us from making sweeping generalizations about all of "society" & "everyone" coz it reminds us that each one of us is a product of a particular era in history & a particular cultural milieu.
