64. The draft had already ended, although I imagine it was still strong in people's memories back then

Aug 2014

The Vietnam draft was still a salient recent memory. But the volunteer military was already a thing of the present and a draft was not likely.

I do remember the fear of unisex bathrooms. The recent law in California about the trangendered and bathrooms actually has brought that contingent back, although they're sounding more ridiculous now.

The world marched on and we never got ERA.

I was going to be more direct and ask TexasTowelie Aug 2014 #76

Does Shaffley think that violence against women started in the 1970s? That it isn't as old as time? Wella Aug 2014 #4

ALEC in action. The 40 yr. old plan, thank Phyllis. nt littlemissmartypants Aug 2014 #6

But that doesn't tell me why Shaffley said what she said. Wella Aug 2014 #11
