as you know and of course would point out, we weren't alive in all of U.S. history. Indeed, since history doesn't tell the whole truth, 'tis a mystery. Unless at an early age one reads prolifically to make sense of the world.

If I think...? Why would you even......think like that. But enough about me or you.

I see that you're a heavy hitter poster, so how does this sound: "In our lifetime" is usually understood as a metaphor meant to be short of "in U.S. history."


(sorry this post was delayed, I was listening again to EL-P's 'Up All Night' from his I'll Sleep When You're Dead album)
