1967 Kids roamed and played all over town. Parents not worried.

2008 Kids seldom outside without a parent in sight. Parents worried to death about kidnapping or whatever.

1967---The young hippies and Calif liberals protesting the war and the liberal media glorfying their efforts   and doing all they could to turn the public against the military and war. Eventually snatched defeat from the jaws of victory.----------------------------------2008--- The young hippies and Calif liberals (now in their 60's) protesting the war and the liberal media glorfying their efforts and doing all they could to turn the public against the military and war are one step away from snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

The only thing worse than being in war is losing or quitting the war. It gives all your enemies the realization that you don't have the will power to finish what you start when the going gets a little tough. ------------1967--newly married ex Marine making many trips to the just completed Kinzua dam catching 5-10# browns in the tailwaters. Life was good.------------2008-- Still married ex Marine making many trips to the Erie tribs catching 5-10# steelhead. Life is still good
