"May you live in interesting times"- -old Chinese curse. You started the year I graduated. There was a riot on my campus. Somehow the University prexy (an old fart good old boy from Alabama) managed to convince the press to write it up as a "panty raid". (Not very hard; the last thing those publishers wanted to admit was that there were lefties in the state.) I was there (although not a participant); trust me, this was a riot. The campus cops very doing a decent job of containing things, but the Prexy decided to call in the Cowboys (sheriff's deputies) from the County. They charged in and started busting heads Pouring gasoline on a fire. NOW they had a riot! Finally after several charges and pitched battles, the football coach sent in the jocks. That ended it. Big cartoon on cover of said newspaper showed two cops raping the Statue of Liberty. Pretty big cops. Hope I don't piss them off. Attending college from '68 to '72 was interesting, to say the least. Is this why you're a liberal? Because you saw Tricky Dick running that obscene fiasco called the Vietnam War? Well I saw LBJ running it. And for all practical purposes he picked the fight. Yeah, I know we were in there before that. But we were just barely in there before that.
