Default Re: A Sad Anniversary

Perhaps it was an excuse to party for you, but it was also a watershed moment for the history of radical politics in the US. It's all fine and good to sit back and be crotchety about naive the kids were, but the late 1960s was probably the closest the US has ever come since the civil war to widespread insurrection against the government.
