I mean, why teach us about THAT particular country in 1969? But like I said, us kids knew there was a war going on. By the time I was in the fourth grade, most of us kids had been exposed to ALL IN THE FAMILY, so we even knew it was a subject that people didn't always see eye to eye on.<br /><br />By the way, from the vantage point of elementary school, the counterculture seemed to be a cool thing to be a part of once I got older. So it was somewhat disappointing that, by the time I entered high school in 1976, it was all over and done with. It might as well have been the 1950s (maybe that's why HAPPY DAYS, SHA NA NA, etc, was so popular back then)Kirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02155991693956178030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-635884225797829085.post-13750592876837222542009-08-17T22:11:29.278-07:002009-08-17T22:11:29.278-07:00Yes they did, though by 69 I was worried about get...Yes they did, though by 69 I was worried about getting to see that country first hand. Adults of any generation forget that their kids have minds, which hopefully They have been encouraged to use. Obviously you had good teaching along the way. I wonder why they avoided the war though it wasn't like you could miss it. It was on the nightly news with Walter Cronkite. At age 6 Iwas on the streets of Cleveland yelling "Kennedy, Kennedy he's our man Nixon belongs in the garbage can". No wonder we grew up to be activists or apathetic, one.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00533184345345882921noreply@blogger.com
