I was in high school in 1970. Stuyvesant on 15th between 1st and second avenues. Big earth day rally going on in union square which is some 4 blocks west of the school. I cut school that day not for the rally but because did lots of that back then. I walked over and saw this enormous crowd milling about, people with loudspeakers and so forth. Only one thing stuck with me from that day but has all these years later remained a vibrant memory. Traffic jammed in every direction. Union square is a major intersection and all you could se was those old gas guzzlers sitting there spewing fumes into the air.
I may have only been 16 at the time but the irony of the left’s inability to do anything intelligently never left me.
Big tribute to Mother Earth huh. Not even the sincerity of bicycles.
