True story:

I was having a conversation with a 20-something a few years back and I mentioned Martin Luther. She responded that he was really a charismatic guy and that it was a shame he got shot. I paused and said that I was speaking about THE Martin Luther and not Martin Luther King who was named after him. Then I asked if she had heard of Martin Luther or knew about the Protestant Reformation. She just stared at me blankly and then said something to the effect that she was not very good in current events.

Tell me this person was a druggie, slow mentally, or otherwise had some excuse for not having heard of the Reformation . . .

. . . hope you met her slinging fries at MackyD's, and not taking your pulse in a doctor's office . . .

For some people (many? most?), 15 years ago is ancient history.
