Dogman I was in grade school at a one room country school in the middle of nowhere when I heard JFK had been shot. I haven't forgotten that day yet. I think I was sixteen and in high school when I heard Israel had attacked the USS Liberty in 1967 and tried to sink it. I remember hearing that not everyone thought it was an accident. It made a huge impression on me. At the time the Vietnam war was getting underway and I intended to inlist when I got out of highschool because I thought we were fighting communisn and it was the patriotic thing to do. There were people then saying that war wasn't about fighting communism so much as it was a money making deal for the military industrial complex. I listened and it made a difference. I thought they were right and I didn't inlist. The lottery was started and I got a high number and wasn't drafted. The attack on the USS Liberty, JFK's assasination and the accusations about the MIC making money on the vietnam war woke me up that things arn't what they appear to be on the surface. If people hadn't spoken up and got me thinking I'd probably still be as asleep as most people are today. I listened to the lone cries in the wilderness then started looking in to what they had to say. That is what has me where I am today. You may not be able to wake someone up all at once but somewhere, sometime seeds have to be sown for the waking up to happen.
