Thanks, Smooth.

Seems like your college wasn’t the kind we saw on the news on almost a nightly basis, you were fortunate but I guess there were a lot more campuses like yours than the riotous ones.

I was working, married and raising a family at the time and was a conservative, didn’t take kindly to the anarchism taking place. I worked with several younger guys who’d served in Vietnam and they weren’t happy with the turkeys either. There were plenty of the hippy type around but never had a confrontation with any.

That's certainly the case. All the same, those were tumultous days we lived through, and the hype by the media didn't help matters.

I read a really good article in American Thinker earlier today that I found to be very much in line with my thinking on that time in our history, and how the media and academia, along with the American Left, have all but successfully distorted our history in the minds of far too many of our fellow citizens.
