The Vietnam War was terrible. Drugs were terrible. Indiscriminate sex was terrible. It was not a happy, hippy time. It was a time of panic and the draft and nihilism and live ammunition at Kent State.
And those feelings were spawned in once-idealistic baby boomers after they watched the President of the United States' head explode like a watermelon onto his wife's lap.
As much as I detest Clinton, I wouldn't wish that fate for him. And I wouldn't wish the sight of such a horrific death on the impressionable young people out there now, who have enough to worry about without witnessing such carnage and having to wonder why for the rest of their lives.
Oh , for goodness sakes ... why do you and your ilk pull out the " bitter ", as a refutation ? That is so ludicrous, not to mention hysterically funny ! Can't you do any better than that ? Next, I suppse, you'll call me " OLD "; as if that is an insult. ROTFLMAO
Why have you ignored my question to you ? Come on, explain WHY the teens and young 20 somethings weren't " destroyed " by McKinley's assassination. What about when Garfield was assassinated ? Is it, perchance, that it wasn't televised ? Don't even try that one . People , were more traumatized by FDR's death ! Remember, many people had never known another president, and we were still fighting WW II, when he died.
You've swallowed, as whole clothe, and are now just regurgitating old LEFTY propaganda.
