Of the many statements of yours I’ve read over a long period of time, John, there’s only one that I totally agree with—an observation you’ve made repeatedly about yourself: you are shallow.
It’s comical how you take any half-baked notion that comes out of your head as truth or reality. In your last post you wrote: “teachers on American campuses were forbidden to discuss the Vietnam war.” Where in the hell did you come up with that! It may be some such oddball case can be dredged out of the records of the time, but the fact is the Vietnam War was widely and hotly debated in American schools, both high schools and universities. In fact, many college professors across the country were leaders and organizers of campus war protests. I was there. I lived it and saw it. And the national debate about that war increasingly became the dominant focus of the media.
There’s no end to the ill-informed, crazy crap you generate in these political and historical discussions. My only suggestion is that you start wearing a pointy cap with bells.
