When Cassious Clay, now Mohammed Ali, who at the time was the undisputed Heavyweight Boxing Champion of the world, refused the draft on religious grounds he fired the opening salvo that encouraged the flower power peace movement of the 60's. All of a sudden, tough guys were no longer allowed to be tough guys. We were told we had an inner feminist side. What did we know? if the toughest guy in the ring is a pacifist, who was to argue? Peaceniks, NOW, bra burning, draft dodgers all the way up to x42's domineering wife had us tough guys in chains. Maybe its ok for tough guys to come out of the closet now? Or are we just being given a war time furlogh?
