Yeah, but you're a lawyer, so that might be the explanation. :-)

I would say on the whole that Johnson's 'Great Society' was
more of a success than Nixon's Viet Nam.

That's called damning with faint praise. Or justifying bad decisions by
pointing to other bad decisions.

Are you getting 'Great Society' confused with the Rural
Electrification Program? Torches were unnecessary.

If you lived through it it would not be a laughing matter. I was living in
Washington when a large chunk of the city was burned. I remember having
bottles thrown at my car while driving on the first night of riots, the
broken out store fronts at the shopping center on the corner, the National
Guard at intersections, and seeing a guy living down the hall take a
shotgun
out of his trunk and into his apartment just in case. Not a fun time.
