We don't want your fuking war!" was chanted repeatedly at demonstrations


EnlargeHigh-profile opposition to the Vietnam war turned to street protests in an effort to turn U.S. political opinion against the war. The protests gained momentum from the Civil Rights Movement that had organized to oppose segregation laws, which had laid a foundation of theory and infrastructure on which the anti-war movement grew. Protests were fueled by a growing network of independently published newspapers (known as "underground papers") and the timely advent of large venue rock'n'roll festivals such as Woodstock and Grateful Dead shows, attracting younger people in search of generational togetherness. The movement progressed from college campuses to middle-class suburbs, government institutions, and labor unions.

After watching your new video I had to read this and the other thread. I don't like war. I'm all for saying "Hey you fuk your war!!!". Here is the thing though no matter war or no war we SHOULD support the troops!!! That was a good video by the way. Just need a little more passion. MAKE ME FEEL IT!!! You started to a little on the last one, lol!!! Good job on the videos still though!

I'll re-record those poems -- thanks for the tip-

" This Land is Our Land "

In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite.

Franz Kafka (1883-1924) Czech writer.
