For the babyboomers among us

[EastStang]

I vaguely remember a Viet Nam Protest that no one showed up for except a few professors and a Daily Campus reporter.

yea, like passing the civil rights amendment in '64
dropping the voting age from 21 to 18.
ending the Vietnam war after 58,000 of use died.
we even dropped drinking age from 21 to 18 but you guys couldn't handle your liquor so had to raise it back to 21.
got rid of the draft and an all volunteer army.

we accomplished a great deal but we seemed to have failed to teach history to some who take their liberties for granted.

you should have been there, it was everything you heard about and than some.

Hitler got the autobahn built but that doesn't excuse all the negative he did. As the old saying goes: "the sun shines on a dog's rear at least once a day"

Do not know if it was the same one, but I recall one being scheduled on a day at the beginning of some seasonal break (Christmas?). I left to go visit a friend in Litlte Rock and heard a radio report in Arkansas that the big Veitnam protest at SMU had about 7 people show up.
