4. Yes...I was going to edit my post...about those of us who voted all our lives
who might be a little ticked at those who just "didn't have the time."

But, maybe THEY who didn't vote...didn't find anyone they ever thought was worth voting for...so who knows. I was raised by parents who voted...they thought it was the most important thing you could do as a citizen of our country. I think they gave me my "HOPEFUL Streak."

We who had kids and were involved and remember the 60's and what the "Hope Was" are probably seeming "really weird" these days to those coming up behind us.

But, those of us who WERE involved aren't going to "TAKE STUFF"...from those younger or even our kids who "just didn't get" what the 60's were about, because the MSM said it was about Drugs (Petersen,Scaife,ALEC and others..along with Christian Righ) who were working to DESTROY the WORK FOR CHANGE of the 60's.

I never smoked pot, did COKE or was running around with flowers...but I WAS involved and many of us were.. And I Loved all of my fellow friends from that era who were there...and I've supported them and their creativity ever since.

Both Dems and Repugs want everything Politcal as put in "Little Boxes" ...but that isn't the way it ever worked...not matter how the Cables try to TRASH those of us 60's people "FOR CHANGE" that we were all Druggies and Flower Children.

THIS WAS A MUCH MORE DIVERSE MOVEMENT..but this is IGNORED!

I won't ramble on...it's not welcomed out there these days to talk "truth about 60's." DIVERSITY...not what MS/CORPORATE/MIC wants to get out there for the "younger folks."
