The reality is that the self-immolation by that monk helped bring down a brutal government, albeit it was replaced by one that equaled it in corruption. The monk's act and the spreading of the photos of it around the world changed history. |

Based on what I have deduced from your contributions here, many are far more educated in meaningful ways than the high regard you hold for yourself. The only people I've met who think and sound like you are those who chose (or were forced) to remain in academia for all their working years. Yes, they have an abundance of knowledge, but most of it useless in the real world. But no comment from you regarding the "Yeah, **** your country, duck the draft and get a jingle writing job," eh? Real critical thinking. D'uh. |

If Trump wins, it'll just be further evidence of what I've believed since Reagan and Bush II were elected, that the American populace is too stupid to worry about. I will admit, though, to chuckling over the death of Republican "conservatism." |

It was just the latest, and was caught on film and put on the news all over the world at the "right" time. Kennedy, Diem, and the Roman Catholic Church should all be ashamed. |

Yeah, **** your country, duck the draft and get a jingle writing job. Yup. That about sums up Harry Krause, the coward of rec.boats. Harry probably thinks he's the only one who was 'smart' enough to get into college to beat the draft. And now he denigrates those who didn't do so. I was "smart enough", accepted to U Md and GW. I just made the choice to go the other way and let Sam pay for my college when I got out. My circumstances changed when IBM offered me a job. |

Basically, you "dumbed" your way into that war. Couldn't you get into an open admissions JUCO? I suppose you could just say LBJ lied us into that war but you would be defaming a famous democrat. In 1964 when I signed my commitment for the CG, this is what he was saying http://gfretwell.com/ftp/johnson%20vietnam%20lie.mp3 The fear of joining the army at that time was you would be stuck in Ft Dix, painting rocks white outside the officer's club for 2 years. I wanted something more interesting. I was hoping for a Florida life boat station. Translating that into "Greg-Think," you joined the coast guard so you could avoid the army and the risk of being sent to Vietnam as rifle fodder. So...you were a draft dodger. That is not right at all. Remember, LBJ just told us he was not going to send American boys off to war. It was the days of the "Elvis and Sgt Bilko" army. I tried to go to Vietnam twice on 1965. (Navy PBRs and GC 83 footers) Both times the request was denied. |
