I was in college in the 60’s, at LSU. The SDS announced that they would come to the campus and burn the flag to protest the Vietnam war. The news was filled with the anticipated event. The SDS arrived with cameras rolling and marched to the flag. They stopped short of the flag pole and marched back. The news was rolling the whole time and the commentary was they had changed their minds due to patriotism. What the news did not show was 1000 agriculture students at the other end of the parade ground with baseball bats. Nothing has changed in 50 years.
One thought on “Hope”
