Anon, did you know that all Lennon-McCartney songs were not written by two people?

“Peabody and his boy Sherman”? Haven’t heard of them in years.

Did You Know….Cecile and Beanie, Crusader Rabbit, Rocky and Bullwinkle were all written by the same people.

I’m not a gambler, but I’d happily hitch a ride on the WABAC machine with Peabody and Sherman and wager that there would still be U.S. advisors/troops in South Vietnam in fall 1965, when the engagements really started to ramp up (Ia Drang campaign et al.).

MR, on the JFK conspiracy-of-all-conspiracies: extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Or at least some evidence.

Absolutely no disrespect intended here… My father-in-law, a highly decorated, 3-tour, USMC combat infantryman gives a rather less subversive view of Vietnam-era military service.

RoboLsd,

The only thing I think would work is what Gandhi and India used against England. It cost some lives but it worked. Lets collectively sit on our butts and say no.

I don’t know what to do or how to do it. But if someone else can tell me what or how I’m in for a new revolution and maybe a Revelation or two.

Like you, Sunn, I don’t agree with the act, but, I can definitely relate to his statements….. This country hasn’t had a decent administration since JFK was assassinated in 1963….. He was going to pull all of our advisers out of Vietnam no later than 1964….. I have a video of him making this statement on the White House lawn in an interview with Walter Kronkite….. Within three weeks, he was dead, and Johnson was in…. He gave the military machine and big business everything they wanted to wage an undeclared war….. The results of which were horrific – Over 58,000 young Americans dead, hundreds of thousands wounded, not to mention the million or so Vietnamese who died….. I am a firm believer that Johnson knew everything about November 22, 1963 before the fact, and, I believe most, if not all, that have served as our President since have been briefed that they walk a thin line, and their Presidency can end by the Klingon Rules of Succession…. I’m surprised we have lasted into the 21st Century….. The population just doesn’t listen….. It’s all there – right in the news – You just have to listen to what’s not said – Read between the lines…. I know it’s an “I, Me, Mine” attitude, but, I hope this country survives until after I turn to Dust…

Not to change the subject, but, you know why they stopped the draft?…. It wasn’t because we didn’t need it – Us Draftees were disrupting their blind obedience rules…. We were questioning the very foundation of the Military…. We paid a heavy price for doing so, and, I guess I was one of the lucky ones – I had a CO that thought along the same lines – I made Buck Sergent in less than two years (usually takes 12 or more years without waivers in time and grade)….. I even ended up a Drill Sergent before my military experience was over….. They offered me more stripes and bonus money, but, I knew I had pushed my luck to the limit….. If you want to live in a different world, join the Military or go into Politics….

“We Got To Get Outta This Place” we’re in….. Anyone know how – I’m may be too old for a “Revolution”, but, I’m up for it…. PD Bob said he was in….. Anyone else?…..

Here is a post from the web site (now pulled) of the lunatic that flew into a federa building in Austin, TX today. While I in no way condone what he did, he did have some valid points.

“I live in a country with an ideology that is based on a total and complete lie. It also made me realize, not only how naive I had been, but also the incredible stupidity of the American public; that they buy, hook, line, and sinker, the crap about their ‘freedom’ … and that they continue to do so with eyes closed in the face of overwhelming evidence and all that keeps happening in front of them.”

He also wrote: “Why is it that a handful of thugs and plunderers can commit unthinkable atrocities (and in the case of the GM executives, for scores of years) and when it’s time for their gravy train to crash under the weight of their gluttony and overwhelming stupidity, the force of the full federal government has no difficulty coming to their aid within days if not hours? ”

Yes, MR & LSD, I realize most of the things you pointed out are an atrocity. Again, who started the ball rolling. Bush initiated the first bailouts, initiated this generations’ Viet Nam. He took “Good Old Boy” politics to a new level. This time around the “Good Old Boys” just happened to be big business, oil companies & buddies in the business of War.

And yes, I lost most of my 401K before he left office.
