Over the holidays one of the shows I saw was an old 'All in The Family' This one dealt with the subject of draft dodgers. One of the guests at the Bunker's Christmas dinner was a friend of Mike's. He lived in Canada. In the course of conversation Archie discovered the young man, David had grownup in Chicago and asked why he was now living in Canada. When Archie learned he was there because of the draft he wanted to throw him out. Another guest, a friend of Archies who had recently lost his son in Vietnam asked if his opinion counted in this discussion. Of course Archie, thinking he would have an ally, welcomed the man's opinion. Well Archie shut right up when the man told David he was proud of him for standing up and defending his beliefs, and that he would be honored if he would stay and share dinner with him. Archie had to rethink his whole attitude of course, and the show sent a very strong message as usual.
Always did like that show...
