1992 was 32 years ago. Adults are 18. People born in 2006 are adults.

2006 was only 4 years ago, right? RIGHT?

Still though, the average age in the US is 38 so for most people, there was an amendment ratified during their lifetime.

Speaking for me personally, I would consider anything that happened in my parents generation to be a recent collective memory, at least until I get to the age my parents were when they had me. Sure I wasn't alive during the moon landing or JFK assassination, but they're still pretty recent events in the grand scheme of US history.

Damnit now there's something that I'm upset about being above average for.
