Thread Name: BS: Montreal 60's Counterculture Question
Subject: RE: BS: Montreal 60's Counterculture Question
As I mentioned before, I too was outside watching. University was several years in my past. I did know one person inside, a cute blond-haired Maoist, and crazy as a loon. Everyone seemed over-the-top in rhetoric and action. The worst thing you could be was small-"l"-liberal. Any moderation was considered wishy-washy, sappy, contemptible.
Another good friend was inside, though I didn't know it at the time. Emru was in the womb of one of the demonstrators. He died this fall of leukemia, at age 38.
