63. I was younger
I voted "against the war" - not "for" Nixon. I bought his BS.

That is the problem with one-issue voting.

I was a "closet liberal" - gradually becoming more and more sympathetic to the protesters, tentatively joining in on the march on the Pentagon (proud to have been teargassed)

Humphrey got a raw deal - in hindsight he would have been good. Probably wouldn't have gotten us out of VN any faster than Nixon, but maybe would have inhibited the growth of the monster cabal we are dealing with now
