Would that be the CFL Rick?

I don't know if anyone made a decision because of Nixon or Johnson, but I'd like to know. Also, I think you're in a better position to tell us what the general feeling was than I am regarding the motives of those in Canada. Was the general feeling one that the government was not worth it? Its an interesting point because that was the stated idea of several I knew at that time.

It wasn't a decision to be made lightly then.....the idea of never going back to the States, to family and friends. Then again, some people didn't like the government OR Nixon but went ahead with their duty as they saw it to be and wound up in VietNam. We may be a world society, but some love of country probably is stuck down there in all of us. Perhaps those who crossed the border had a little less......I have no idea.

Back then I was as American as you got. For whatever made the place really suck (and the government was a start) it was still home and I felt a duty to it. Duty in my case took on a different meaning, but it was still a problem that stemmed from somewhere I loved and had not given up on.

I guess I get tied up with feelings at times like this. Its like OK gang, let's start a World Government or put a United Nations type organization in control. What happens when things go wrong? Where do the ones who crossed the border go off to in that case? "This new government isn't worth it so I'll check out on this too." I'm obviously asking if those who went to Canada have anything worth their efforts.

Just curious.
