Or ...jane, you're right about something Hollywood. Or perhaps music. Maybe Woodstock should have made my list...<BR/><BR/>teena & angela, I'll visit your lists today. Can't wait to see them.<BR/><BR/>robin--I do think we are able to dream big and accomplish great things. Just not with the current leadership. The current leadership is small minded and selfish. They <I>think</I> they are dreaming big by wanting to pound democracy into the middle east, but in reality they're playing wargames and fouling everything up.<BR/><BR/>Actually, now you've got me wondering if even the proper leadership can accomplish such daring goals. We have grown into such a partisan-minded society that even the noblest cause will be met with vocal opposition from the side that didn't propose it. Sad. I'm hoping our next President can be a true uniter, which is what Bush said he would be. The only thing he united was the Christian right against gays, scientists, and Muslims.PJDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05028687955957107957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8014482.post-76737277206948874912008-06-18T03:51:00.000-07:002008-06-18T03:51:00.000-07:00Wonderful list!

I never got into that Luke & Laura stuff- but looks like this kind of crap has grown exponentially - so good choice!<BR/><BR/>Interesting - what paca said - about regional differences. I hadn't thought about that when reading your choices.<BR/><BR/>The moon landing was an amazing thing. I wonder sometimes if we have the will to dream big, and make it happen, any more. Worries me a bit.Robin S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03258459688300851984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8014482.post-90628018405962429362008-06-17T17:53:00.000-07:002008-06-17T17:53:00.000-07:00Luke and Laura?!

He was a microbiologist who, along with James Watson (Watson and Crick) discovered the double helix nature of the DNA molecule. They shared the Nobel prize with another chap (whose name escapes me) in the early 60's. All genetics research is based on their work. (Although I seem to remember they ripped someone else's work off - such is the life of the science academic!)<BR/><BR/>How about the movies? Notably The Talkies. Surely Hollywood should be in there somewhere.<BR/><BR/>I've never seen General Hospital. Over here it was the Ozzie Soap <I>Neighbours</I> that had the wedding of the decade in the 1980's of Scott and Charlene (Kylie Minnogue and Jason Donavan)- a true cheese fest!JaneyVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04951739945670483199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8014482.post-24737930679178092722008-06-17T14:32:00.000-07:002008-06-17T14:32:00.000-07:00shannon and valtool, thanks for coming by!paca, Br...shannon and valtool, thanks for coming by!<BR/><BR/>paca, Brown v Board of Education is certainly a good one. I'm not sure what the Franis and Crick's DNA is. Funny that my Cal connection appears strong... I toned down my New England connection by picking only one revolutionary war/colonial moment, otherwise it would have run away with me. I thought of the Louisiana Purchase as well, but I sort of wanted to stay away from the imperialist/manifest destiny aspect, though it is part of who this country is.<BR/><BR/>jean, thanks for visiting! I hate sites where music plays when you arrive. playlist.com has an option to make it not play automatically.<BR/><BR/>ello, glad I could bring back some good soap opera memories. :-) Do you remember the comedy <A HREF="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OSaNWYHmUvI&NR=1" REL="nofollow">Soap</A>?

Not a criticism, but as a Southerner, western history pretty much just doesn't occur to me. Maybe I would have thought of the Louisiana Purchase instead.<BR/><BR/>Other fave moments might include Brown v Board of Education. Perhaps Franis and Crick's DNA if there's a single date one can pick there.pacatruehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04125048243775811714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8014482.post-45849886194807573132008-06-17T11:20:00.000-07:002008-06-17T11:20:00.000-07:00Luke & Laura?
