You mean those of us who are actually identifying ourselves, Guest?

I thought I said I wasn't a sincere anti-war activist in my previous post? Was it too subtle for you? I'm not sure what you think you might accomplish by accusing me of something I've already freely admitted.

Sure, I could carry on a charade of saying I did the right thing back then. Many people do. The fact is, I was young and dedicated to having fun. That became my philosophy. I had not discovered anything that I believed in strongly enough to die for it, and could not even grasp that concept.

Fuck Nixon? Sure. I still disagree with many of his policies, and the fact that he was a paranoid was obvious to even his supporters. That doesn't give me some kind of holy dispensation for the basic self-gratification philosophy I held.

I'm sure there were some of you who were selflessly dedicated to the anti-draft and anti-war causes at the time. I remember all the dogmatic, humorless statements fed to the hoi palloi at those campus rallies. I suppose even then you suspected we couldn't be relied on when the actual Revolution broke out.

You will find, however, that many of us now have the strength of character to stand up, identify ourselves, and speak the truth as we see it.
