Zeev's Turnips Patch-No Politics (ZEEV)

[altaskier]

That's not how I remember the 1950s and 60's.

McCarthy was running rampant with his commie witch hunt.

In grade school we had nuclear attack drills... we were taught how to get under our desks and kiss our asses goodby.

John Kennedy, Robert Kennedy and Martin Luther King were assasinated.

Riots were happening in our major cities. Federal troops were confronting segregationalist govenors to force open the doors of schools and other public places.

Viet Nam was raging. The war economy was sowing the seeds of the 80's inflation.

We were lucky to survive the idealic period you remember.

Prior to 1971 America ROCKED, its people worked hard, a buck was worth something, your child could play in the street with no fear.
