I hardly remember the sixties as a time of enlightenment..That was a time of turning on, tuning in and droping out. I vaguely remember doing all three at one point but the fact that I remember it at all is a wonder. I regard that period of my life as an age of stupefaction. I was young and somewhat impressionable and I had come under the influence of the so called Intellectual elite. I felt strongly about nuclear proliferation and wanted the govt. to ban the bomb, or at least get it off British soil. Let the fall out land elsewhere, not in my back yard.
My position then was rather incongruous as I was a Corporal in the Royal Marines at the time. I had a great deal of difficulty reconciling my nationalistic feelings with the possibility of nuclear anhialation. I often felt caught in the middle between two impossible choices.
I hope that you will forgive me if I cut this story short. the thought of those times has the effect of raising my blood pressure to intollerable limits. I thank God that I have my cat. He recognizes when I am "on the verge" and comes to me to bring me back to some semblance of sanity. _________________ Hey swifty, I'm with you, Just watch you don't get "Kerry'd away in the propwash
