Well well. That's the first time i've read someone echo my thoughts of those days around '67, the year i wandered again from N America.

"When I was in the midst of that protest so long ago, I didn’t know what to think. There was a military draft back then, and the second you lost your student deferment — flunked out or graduated — boom, you were prime meat for Vietnam. Vietnam was a mystery to us, so far away. Was it a Communist domino or was it a place we shouldn’t be?"

I leaned, but i wasn't nearly as sure as those around me.

Today one real concern is how many of the leaders of the demonstrations are anarchist Trump supporters.

It was Plato who said, “He, O men, is the wisest, who like Socrates, knows that his wisdom is in truth worth nothing”
