A Year That Changed America, 1981
Economy | Information | History | Online | Facts | World | Global | Money
1981 can be considered a turning point year because of the "Reagan Revolution," the appointment of Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, the Strategic Cooperation Agreement, the attempted assassinations of Ronald Reagan and Pope John Paul II, Reagan's economic policy, the introduction of the Internet, and the identification of the AIDS virus.

@MrGuitarheroguru MTV had a great start and was really all about music through most of the '80's. Now it is a waste.

@steverouse56 I am old enough to remember (born in the 50's) and I agree with you.

i was born on january 7, 1981. this video made me proud. but to say that there were "runaway deficits" is wrong. look it up. reagan's tax cuts caused the deficits to triple from the per year rate of the carter administration.

@thelawguy666 Re-read the constitution. One word, VETO.

@ShotgunTheMan FDR is on the dime because he started The March of Dimes. Reagan didn't end the cold war, Mikhail Gorbachev did. Reagan played a minor role and wasn't even president when the Cold War ended. Reagan's biggest "accomplishment" is running up a record defecit to stimulate the economy. Iran-Contra alone should have been grounds for impeachment. At least he had the excuse of suffering from Alzheimer's Disease for making his mistakes.

Nice video but can I offer a small technical critique? You need to re-record your voice-over and stop "popping your Ps". A windscreen would help, or getting a bit further from the mic, or learn to use softer Ps, like singers do. Other than that nice job!

Good video, csl609, but could you have done the voice over with a little more enthusiasm? You sound like a grade school kid reading his or her book report to the class.
