"Not sure of the wrongs and rights now though"
The charred bodies and rotted lungs of the farmers slaughtered and maimed by Napalm and Agent Orange is enough evidence of who was right and who was wrong for me Al
I'm proud of all the causes I was part of - Vietnam, anti-nuclear, Anti-Apartheid
Never regretted a minute of it and would do it all tomorrow

I dunno. they reckon Ho Chi Minh was a stalinist, who killed a lot of people in the way of political opponents and people he didn't like very much. And dress it up how you like, he was the catspaw for Russian imperialism.

like i say, i did the marches, for better or worse. Even if I did regret, it wouldn't do any good.

"who killed a lot of people in the way of political opponents"
Who "reckon" and where do I find it Al
I'm a bu=it tired of all this cold war Gossip - it's about time we all grew up, doncha think
Whatever Ho chi mhin did or did not do, do you realy believe it merits siring exploding missiles that burn the skin of men women and children at farmers, or poisoning their land with carcinogenic chemicals
I'd hate to be held to acount for what our leaders ate doing at theis present moment
Gi'e us a break Jimmie !!

As a once avid Sci-fi fan (until I became old enough to know better),

What does that mean, Jim? Is Sci-Fi supposed to be just for the young?

" Is Sci-Fi supposed to be just for the young?"
Another joke, I'm afraid Dave - we're obviously on different humour wavelengths
I gave up Sci-fi when I thought I'd got through the classics Assimov, Heinlein et al, and it began to transmogrify into Cowboys and Indians with ray-guns
Brandbury stopped writing but he was more science fantasy thn real Sci-fir

I still don't get it. Is it like a joke but without the funny bit at the end?

I see Boris is taking his testosterone-fuelled hubris over to Brussels again...

We can confidently guess what kind of jokes Boris would make about Indians on the moon...
