But as of yet, it is not split with the type of emotion and violence that we saw 40 years ago.<br>Interestingly enough, the Democratic candidate in '68 was Humphrey, who's policy was to continue the War in Southeast Asia. In fact, we did not have an anti-war Candidate in'68 in either Party....Sirhan-Sirhan shot Bobby Kennedy, the anti-war frontrunner.<br>This year it looks like I'll be voting for the Dems and not so much because of the War we are in, maybe even in spite of it...."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-87520407877548437782008-08-27T19:52:00.000+01:002008-08-27T19:52:00.000+01:00Oh, where are my manners...sounds like a real good...Oh, where are my manners...sounds like a real good time Steve.

It's time for that revival. <br><br>Back in 1990 I had a final callback with the writers for the European tour of HAIR but blew it off because I already had tickets to California (my first time there).
