"Skin in the game; the draft." John, this question by Ted concerns me, like his question about "why protest?". In general, he strikes me as well read. And I always figured that period is pretty well documented. I'll ignore that he got the order wrong in the part about "the 1968 Chicago riots, the shootings of students or the lies by Johnson", but to not understand why the protests existed in the '60s... And all the ones that just don't seem to understand why the deficits are so important and stagflation is something to be feared. Not in the abstract or at some point in the future, but now. Are those pieces of recent history so obscure? I don't expect them to feel it in their gut, you have to live through that stuff to get that. But they don't even seem to have an intellectual appreciation for it... My oldest claims that he was taught in school that we were winning in Vietnam before we just gave up and left. I had a professor say the same thing, but he is from South Korea and they might teach it differently there. Now true, we weren't exactly losing in Vietnam, but wars aren't a binary condition. Winning is not the condition that exists when you aren't losing...
