Were the 60's Peace marches just a diverson? (Obama, election, elect)

[HappyTexan]

In retrospect, the 60's is probably the turning point for what we have today with all that went on.
Some of it was good change but much of it wasn't.

Now, we reap what we have sown.

Why is it we can never consider going back to a piece that worked and was good..at least better than the change we did to it ?

I can dig it cause none of Morrison's song has ever been used to sell a car.

Most of those people were marching "for peace" because they were under draft deferment while in college and they did not want to go to Vietnam after graduation. Don't be fooled by thinking the boomers, bammers, bummers and hippies were "anti war". You notice that, after the draft ended, war was cool again.

Um, no.
One of the biggest anti-war groups was Vietnam Veterans Against the War (VVAW),

Yes, used and abused in every way imaginable. I didn't know anybody noticed.
