[burythehatchet]

Any "old-timers" here who had some personal experience with this movement?

What are your current views on their place in history?

4. In 68 the "joke" was you could not join if Dad didn't make 30+k per year

It was more or less true because SDS (from which the Weathermen group came) was left with the poorer folks as those who could live without an income/job became the bomb throwers in the Weathermen.

Folks thought they had stopped the war in 68 - by 71 quite a few were extremely upset with rich conservatives trying to milk the last dollar out of a war by pro-longing the war.

Henry the K will burn in Hell if the old time view of Hell is correct.

5. don't you find it a remarkable coincidence that Richard Perle

is now Henry Kissinger's business partner?

6. They only looked the other way while 95% of co. - $400 m - stolen!

Hollinger had an amazing board - but then they "paid" their board well!
