"Berkeley in the 60s"
This morning I watched two hours of "Berkely in the 60's" on Link TV. I am totally worn out and nausiated from all that baloney. At the end of it, they told what the leaders of all that protesting are doing today. You guessed it!----most are college professors, leaders of groups that teach how to protest effectively, or members of stuff like GreenPeace. I wonder if most of those people are truly happy today.
David Horowitz was from a Communist family and he was part of that revolution against society but he changed and is now one of the most respected people. He is now a conservative writer and I have seen his writings on FrontPage Magazine and News Max. He was once a Marxist. My husband read his book and told me I should read it too.
I do not like to see fashions or anything that resembles a thing from the 60s as I hated that era so much. They looked like a bunch of bullies to me and I want to forget them. They wanted their ideas known but in the process, they ran all over anyone else who differed from themselves. It sounds like politics today, doesn't it?

It was a simpler time when being politically active meant dropping acid and "loving the one your with".These days you actually have to get off your butt and smash out the windows of a successful business.I'm a big fan of music from that era but I want to puke when I see documentaries of Woodstock claiming the participants changed the world by showing us that peace can work.Knowing that these people never matured and are now embedded in government and education scares me to death
