I never supported Jane Fonda's brand of protest. One could be opposed to the war without embracing that extreme. My post said "I and my "comrades" supported the civil rights movement and the anti-war protests." I did not march or speak in any organized anti-war protests (which mostly occurred in other parts of the country than the south, where I lived), but I spoke up against the war in the company of friends and relatives who supported it. I believed then, as I do now, that it was a horrendously wasteful and misbegotten war. Many fine and brave men died unnecessarily in that war.
FYI, I held that Nixon was a crook from the very early days of the Watergate revelations and firmly defended that belief to friends and colleagues who supported that odious varmint to the bitter end. There are still a few diehard nuts around who say Nixon got a raw deal, but most folks now would agree with me on that case.
I opposed the theocratic ravings of Judge Roy Moore, and the courts of this state and nation validated that opinion.
You see, richardbettyrey, I have not been bashful about taking unpopular stances, and I have not often been wrong.
