If you were there-you understand the craziness-if not, this brings it back pretty well.
Enjoy and Happy Thanksgiving

Thank you. Hanoi Jane should have been tried and shot for treason.

 

[VAPA]

[jgh4445]

A few years ago, when my youngest son was in junior high, he asked "Dad, do you remember the nineties?" I said sure do. "Do you remember the eighties?" Same answer, sure do. "How about the seventies?" Had to think about that one for a minute, then said yes." How about the sixties?" Yep, them too. "The fifties?" I was born in the fifties, I can remember very little. " Man, Dad, you sure are old!" Insolent little whipper-snapper!

Purchased this movie many years ago, tough one to purchase today.

The movie covers the time period rather well.

 

[rwsmith]

That was really depressing....

I didn't think I could sit through it. Thanks for making me so uncomfortable. Yeah. there was big news on the TV just about every night and it was usually very bad news.


The 'Weathermen' had to be the biggest bunch of morons ever. They broke out people's car windows to demonstrate what they were about but complained to the police when people broke THEIR car windows. Then of course several of them blew themselves up with a home made bomb. The philosophy of 'We are protesting violence by bringing violence' pretty much speaks for itself. Morons.

I guess the take away for me is that things never change. We are living in different times, different geography, different weapons...same kind of wars, same people- just older, same issues. It is almost like watching a movie about things to come. If you question my logic just read the comments attached to the film.

Just remember. The same morons in those pictures, are the same morons who are teaching in our schools and colleges.

I still have the wanted poster (of the four weather underground members)
on my wall.

 

[MDGasman]

Just remember. The same morons in those pictures, are the same morons who are teaching in our schools and colleges.

I clicked on the "Like" button, but only because there is not an "I agree" button. I don't like it at all.

 

[Donn]

Sometimes it seems like this afternoon.

 

[dave b]

If you remember the 60s, you weren't there.

 

[LVSteve]

I thought the gag was that if can remember the 60s you weren't really there. ETA: Dave must have hit Post just as I was typing.

The '60's were the beginning of the end. Before the 60's teenagers looked forward to privileges granted in becoming adults as did the generations before them. Instead in the 60's adults began acting like kids wearing the hippie outfits and trying to regain their youth. I think the 60's is when the kids began observing the foolishness adults were displaying and those kids began to question authority in a big way.
I was 2 years into a new job were a white shirt, a tie, and short hair was required. I was downtown in Chicago during the riots and observed some kids getting their attitude adjusted. Mayor Daley I didn't understand the freedoms the rioters thought they had.

 

[Bkreutz]

If you remember the 60s, you weren't there.

I remember it quite well, the part I have difficulty with is determining which parts were real.

 

[Lost Lake]

I used to do drugs in the 60's....

Now I don't care what temperature it is !!
