it's the radicals from the 60s and 70s who are being put into positions of power by the Obama Administration. And they are the ones who, when in power, love to use it.

it's the radicals from the 60s and 70s who are being put into positions of power by the Obama Administration. True enough but there were a lot of kids just on their way to classes who were killed. Not everyone from that era, who was a Liberal then, is a Liberal now. The radicals then are still the radicals now. Back in the 60s, I visited a friend who was attending Berkeley. She said, "We're going to the protest tonight." I said, "Not me. I've got a lot of friends in Vietnam." She then said we were going for the "party." That's what they did to meet people and have a street party. Only a very few were actually "protesting." Most were just there to hang out, drink beer and party. It's always interesting to see the photos. A photo editor could zoom in on a group who looked angry and were actually protesting. The rest were partying.
