I remember Vietnam on TV, duck and cover drills in school, my eyes being opened by Raygun's rethuglican presidency, and then Bill Clinton bringing hope back and erasing the federal defecit, and except for a momentary indiscretion, bringing REAL decency back to U.S. politics. Now this. Environment gone to hell, defecit, unending war and growing poverty, and unspeakable people running things.
America took a sickening bizarre turn, and we need to set it straight.
