    well if it is true i for one am upset about it. i do not think that it is a
    coincidence that the WWII generation is still in power and has never given the
    60's generation any play even to the point of blaming the 60's generation for all
    modern day problems. Now after 50 years of VICTORY AT SEA etc etc WWII films and
    documentaries they want to rip up open space and build a mueum to their "good old
    days". Outrageous behavior. It is amazing how much disrespect and abuse the 60's
    generation is willing to take from these old folks who will never forgive us for
    smoking pot and loosing the war etc etc. cheers, country joe mcdonald
