Right. At an end-of-semester department lunch event, two of our right wing faculty members were adamantly blaming Carter for the 55 MPH national limit. I was positive it was instituted by Nixon, and said so, explaining that was a time my wife had returned to school and we had paid attention to how 55 affected both her driving time and gas mileage.
Eventually, one of those two guys returned to the office, checked his facts via the web, and apologized to me, saying I was correct.
That was a behavior almost never seen in this discussion group.
