re: I think the schism back then was between the relatively young and the old. This is one is different.......it cuts right through every age group and every economic group. The right is challenging every precept we have. They are making every effort to promote their ideology on all levels of our society. You have no idea the level of resentment felt by those who do not agree. You are right and wrong. The "resentment" from Vietnam was primarily by age... but it was at least as deeply felt. In fact I keep wondering "where are the students"? In any country in an immoral action (Vietnam, Tiananmen), it's always the students that take to the streets. Nothing from our young people.... Here there are students in the marches but some of their counterparts belong to the young Republicans and support Bush. The schism runs through them too. And this isn't a schism about war although some try to center it on the Iraqi war.....its about values and the way you run your life. That's why I think its much more serious. Basically, there are people who think that there are other things that are more important than our democracy whereas the rest of us feel there is nothing more important than our democracy. ted
