Where was the good doctor in the 60s, anyway? Was he marching with the civil rights protestors, or was he hooting and hollering in glee on the sidewalk as Bull Connor turned dogs and firehoses on peaceful marchers?

In the early 60s, I believe that "the good doctor" Dobson was getting his M.D. degree at USC, raising his family, doing a residency in pediatrics, and teaching at Children's Hospital so that he could help cure kids from diseases and other ailments. What were you doing then to better the state of mankind?

LOL - I was in diapers. But thanks for answering the question - he wasn't there, and I suspect that none of the current protestors were either.

The Civil Rights Movement occurred in an era which was not a shining beacon for the "states' rights" crowd, and resurgent southern populism with its concomitant pandering to social conservatism is not a good thing - it doesn't do anything to fix the economies, educational systems or infrastructure of the South.

Since there wasn't an internet, Palpatine was probably writing crank letters to the local newspaper deriding 'the fundies'.
