An excerpt and a lot of truth in that tidbit.
Horowitz is a straight thinker without a doubt.
Thanks for the correction on the correct spelling of the SF 9th Circus Court Land. I couldn't remember the spelling.
From Horowitz's comments, I continuously ponder the sheer numbers of these type people that are now filtered into positions of power and authority in government and corporate America.
The mind set of those discussed in the article, are probably like those picked on a lot in grade school, pacifist, and never could muster the spine to at least stand up to the real bullies even if it meant getting into trouble, getting a bloodied nose, black-eye, or worse case, getting one's butt kicked. Therefore, never having taken that step, (like myself on 3-4 occasions) will never understand why, as Americans, we are faced with a dire need to go after the cowardly bullies in the world who so badly seek to have everything the way they want it.
Having gotten the best of a bully or 2 myself, those black eyes and busted lips never really hurt all that much. Having not stood up would have been a deep cut all my life. The sad thing, it was something I never wanted, but those bullies were real and Sir Lancelot was nowhere to be found.
You're welcome. The only reason I know how to spell it is that I unfortunately lived there in the late '70s. Had to look at this street sign every day.
I was not a hippie. It was hell on earth for me, living there, in the San Francisco, Berkeley, and Oakland that Horowitz and Collins describe so well in that book.
