<When some of us began protesting the Vietnam War years ago...>

I was thinking of that earlier. The '50s were a different time in this country, the "Eisenhower coffee break" I remember the older people called it.

National pride, some isolationism....then the war created a chasm between the old and the young. With, of course, those young people who were of a different mindset (more 50s oriented, I guess) and were at 6s and 7s with those of us who were beset with ideological problems and anguish over it. I don't think any of us really wanted friction between us. After all, the "coffee break" united us as a family....the war turned us into the Hatfields and McCoys.

Since then, a third mindset seems to have prevailed. A sort of desire for the community that existed in the 50s but better, more accommodating to everyone not just people in their own ghettoes.

The environment socially is certainly changing albeit slowly, and I for one think it's been for the better over the years.

Most importantly, what do you think Parcells will do with the Jets this Autumn?
