All the old folks were at SDS and Black Panther rallies back in the 60s.  Young people not only don't learn history, they don't create it.  Old men mostly mess things up.

LOL!  If you only knew.  At U of MD, I was elected dorm Senator and got into campus politics.  One day I found myself in a dark smoky room (and it wasn't cigarette smoke) and "they" were planning a militant action.  I made a graceful retreat.  Strange as you might think, I'm more the diplomatic type.

Though, in a course on the "Vietnam Years" the professor had a picture of demonstrators and I was one of them...

Not a real hippie at a not real university.  You probably thought that "reefer" had to do with tropical fish.

Hey, I did the "am I high yet".  ;)

But I object to U Of MD not being a "real university".  My parents bought my degree fair and um, square.  Only half my time there was "teen-sitting".
