Memories of war protests and civil rights demonstrations.

Right Edgar,
...People seem to forget, that although "life is simple,people are compicated." For instance, no matter what othes think about republicans, the scariest, and most consistant thing about them to me, is as soon as they get into office, the first thing they want to do is cut funds on education, and culture.

and go to war

You say in your signature "Ignorance is preferable to error" may I suggest you live by your code and stop making so many errors and just keep wading around in your swamp of ignorance.

Ooooooh.........Forum Fight!......Forum Fight!

From someone who thinks all indians should be dead perception, I take that as a compliment. Thank you!

I take it that blacks, chicanos, arabs, asians and jews are included in that view also. Then it would be the country the way you invisioned it.

"and you can be the first one on your block
to have your boy come home in a box
and its a one, two, three, what are we fightin' for
don't ask me, i don't give a damn next stop is Viet Nam"

Booman you are too funny. Is a forum fight that much different that a food fight?

booman: i thought that went "although life is simple, people are constipated" but i could be wrong.

Jesse Jackson

Powerful stuff, thank you Joanne

Joanne,
...Not as messy, but looks like it might get uglier.
Dyslexia,
...Actually it's an original statement, but I can't complain. I have taken liberties with other peoples lines in the past. "I have seen the payback, and his name is Dyslexia!" :wink:

I love Jesse, I have met him and I love him. I love Jesse so much I do not even bother to argue about whether he is right or wrong. I know where he stand on most issues and at least 90% I agree with him and the other 10% I apply the my so what theory.

The so what theory was developed while I was working as a labor relations professional on the union side of the table. When ever management tried to get me to side track into frivolous argument over issues of say contract language which could only be resolved before an arbitrator or an ALJ I would just say over and over silently to myself (with an attentive look on my face of course) SO WHAT. Another good theory is the fjck you I will see ya at the hearing theory (that needs no explanation).

Yeah, I reckon thaat doesn't need any explanation. (whew) ....I'll tell you something I love about Jesse. When the big-time interviewers try to trap him he has answer for everything. You can't do that unless you have solid foundation.

You can if you have a solid foundation and you are brilliant.

Oh yeah, forgot about the brilliant part. that's one thing his detracters never accused him of, that's being dumb.

There are new legends to be made this Martin Luther King Day. I hope all who can will participate.

Edgar,
...Do you see any legends to be, on the horizon?

I was semi joking. A poster early in the thread made it sound as though were making up our own legends about 60s protest days. I meant here that we would be telling future young people about the new peace protests and might be accused similarly.

Not even close. The 60's were full of real heroes and legends that shook the world....Ahh you're pobably right, some will likely be manufactured.
