It was a worldwide revolution rejecting 10,000 years of culture, mores and norms as primitive and too often wrong. Viet Nam was an outgrowth of that, not the main dish. We had one table in the cafeteria where we revolutionaries sat together out of 22,000 students. The sex drugs and rock and roll was fun. Why we sent one daughter to Berkeley, even though she resisted at first. She was just too goody too shoes and we were worried about it. She is now more proud of going there than being a lawyer. Still miss goody two shoes though. And raised by a large group of pot smoking hippies. Right wingers would never believe it possible. But in San Jose it was Herman Hesse (Steppenwolf), no not the band (:>)); and Siddhartha. Maybe San Jose State had a bit more substance than Cal? That thought never occurred to me before :>). You came to the scene a bit later than I did, so missed the beginning. When I stepped into "the scene" I was joining a revolution first and foremost, not a protest movement. I was shunned by almost every friend I had for a while because I had joined the revolution, not for protesting the Viet nam war. Nice to see you back. We missed you. I constrained myself and didn't ask where you were.
