I think the plan was well intentioned. He just forgot that the more you give someone, the more they come to expect. You create a monster. A society of dependents. As it turns out a dependent voter base. Maybe he didn't forget anything. alan w

I grew up mostly in Marlow Heights, MD, which is not far outside the predominantly black area of Washington called Anacostia, and is now itself part of the overwhelmingly black "inside the Beltway" area of Prince George's County. After the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr., and during the ensuing rioting, there was real fear that it would spillover into the suburbs. My grandmother actually lived in Anacostia, and many of the businesses in the shopping center nearest her were burnt out.

Joseph, I'm shocked that you're so objective you can only blame LBJ for the Vietnam War. You forget that the objective person despised both LBJ and Tricky Dick's Vietnam policies. Wasn't it Nixon who said he had a "Secret Plan" to end the war? What more bombing of Hanoi and Haiphong Harbor? More military sent into Vietnam under TDY (temporary duty) status? Gotta admit I cringed when Bush, in the last debate, in an opening line, he said he had a "strategy" for the Mid-East. You know what it is? He certainly didn't describe it in follow-up. Couldn't be something similar along the lines of Nixon's "Secret Plan," could it? Here's a question for yers: How would Bush or Gore deal with a widening outbreak of the Ebola virus? Don't you think that Bush is the one more likely to make cutbacks in health money, so as to pay for his tax cuts for the rich?
