I’m 73 years old and I participated in every Vietnam War protest in DC (eg the Mobilization, the Moratorium) I protested at my local draft board both before and after I got my conscientious objector status and I knocked on doors for Gene McCarthy. My dad was on an earl version of Nixon’s enemies list.

So please don’t make assumptions about me and I won’t make them about you.
