Clearly, our overseas dealings do not concern enough people, and our apathy may send our country spiraling. As opposed as I am to violent protests, I would certainly support some verbal opposition to our current state of affairs.Mark W.

Are American young people too comfortable and privileged to raise cain about anything?<br /><br />The stuff coming out now about VietNam and Iraq just curls my hair. But the only protests for government reform are coming from, of all places, Iran, and those kids face death or worse for their activism.<br /><br />Pat B.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6404036170106001374.post-12643826792232576862009-07-18T01:43:10.274-05:002009-07-18T01:43:10.274-05:00The Smothers Brothers did an amazing job of foolin...The Smothers Brothers did an amazing job of fooling the public because of their clean-cut appearance, and they ARE funny. Pete Seeger stuck to his principles, regardless of who he offended. There is a balance between subversive activity and holding the government accountable. The Vietnam War was our most unpopular war, primarily because of the draft, but there are too many similarities with our current situation in the Mideast. Perhaps we need more voices from the past.Mark W. Danielsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05127689413680147200noreply@blogger.com
