part 2. con't. chapter. 19.

Congress overrode his veto, but Nixon actually impounded some of the funds allocated!; thus Congresses overridden veto was overridden?

Health care costs were beginning their huge rise, caused by the existence of health care companies, a middle man, not needed. To treat health care as a commodity, just like fur coats, amoral. Due to these costs, Senator Edward Kennedy attempted to create a Universal health care system. Nixon was willing to create low cost health care insurance and say everyone has to buy. This would have left many still uninsured, so it was rejected. The stories in heaven of all the people who died an earlier death because healthcare is not treated as a right. Those in power, will admit they murdered through criminal neglect, a great many people. As we live in a society that demands money makes you a better person. Such a society that teaches this, is doomed, self destructive only; selfish.

1969, July, the first man walked on the moon. President Nixon spoke on the phone to the astronauts, Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong., while they were walking on the moon.

During this era, bussing children to schools further away from home, in order to racially integrate the schools, became the law. School bussing was a big issue. Clearly, not being allowed to go to the school nearest you, wouldn�t be popular. Nixon wasn�t personally for bussing; but this was being enforced by the Courts; and Nixon made certain it was enforced.

The women�s rights movement worked. The Women�s Equal Rights Amendment was passed by both Congress and President Nixon. Now, to be ratified by the states. There will never be enough states to ratify it; yet, in reality, women already had their rights is the real law; and enforcing the real law, is the solution needed. �As today, Uncle Dinosaur is old, doesn�t appreciate the little lady who never married. A spinster is not as worthy. The law can�t protect you from Uncle Dinosaur, but equal pay for the same job is the Law actually.

And while Mr. Nixon never ran on the bigot ticket, he tried to appease everyone in his party. �He nominated two Southern conservatives, Clement Haynsworth, and G. Harold Carswell to the Supreme Court, but neither was confirmed by the Senate.� [wikipedia]

1970. College students at Kent State University in Ohio were protesting the war. They may have been yelling slurs, or what. President Nixon called in the National Guard, who shoots to kill very young adults, who should be safe at school. �Nervous� were the guards were they, when they should not have been there. They shot 5 students; 4 dead. The students were not criminals shooting back. They were not violent; and if they had been, shooting them would have still been criminal. They were just like your kid, who is at college now. It isn�t believable this could occur; not even now.

1972, and the Democratic lead for president was Edmund Muskie, senator from Maine. Well, the press offended his wife, and Mr. Muskie, speaking before the public, shed a few tears over it. The press made more out of this, then they should have. They should not have; it is moral to shed a tear, and does not reveal weakness, but compassion; but Mr. Dinosaur was more common in those days. Not fair, but Muskie lost his lead, and Senator George McGovern [S.D.] won the Democratic nomination. �Mr. Dinosaur, among the press greatly, hit again, when the press made a big deal out of the fact that his running mate, Thomas Eagleton had been treated for mental depression. Prejudice against those with mental problems: ironically very common during an era that did not have barely any people who were not neurotic, thus emotionally ill. [Willfully dishonest people should resign only.] But Mr. Eagleton did resign. Mr. Eagleton was mistreated by the press and others, who behaved like a dinosaur. Sergeant Shriver, married to President Kennedy's sister, replaced Mr. Eagleton, as the Vice-presidential candidate for the Democrats. �George McGovern had no chance of winning, -- prayer in school, abortion, were the main issues of this election. And the war. Everyone is against the war. But the economy was �okay� for most of the college graduated. Mr. Nixon said Mr. McGovern is a weakling, with his cut defense spending idea. Promote the communists why don�t you. The communists are coming.

Amnesty, abortion, and acid! Not a good campaign slogan. But it was used against the democrats. Abortion, a big issue, women were dying because it was illegal. The other side said abortion is murder. �Roe vs. Wade�, a Supreme Court decision will decide this. Not the president. School prayer. If you talk about school prayer, you don�t have to talk about real issues. [Follow the golden rule; don�t lie. Is philosophical fact, the core of all religion, must be taught in the schools.] Mr. McGovern called for amnesty for draft dodgers, -- as this war was outrageously unpopular. Protests on college campuses and other places were very much still going strong. Including any political convention. �.President Nixon won 60% of the popular vote. The election appeared to be a landslide, as Nixon lost only the District of Columbia and Massachusetts.

George McGovern�s economic ideas: �McGovern's platform also included an across-the-board, 37% reduction in defense spending over three years; and a "demogrant" program (later dropped from the platform) that would replace the personal income tax exemption with a $1,000 tax credit as a minimum-income floor for every citizen in America, -- to replace the welfare bureaucracy and complicated maze of existing public-assistance programs. Its concept (a conservative one) was similar to the negative income tax long advocated by economist Milton Friedman, and by the Nixon Administration in the form of the Family Assistance Program, which called for a minimum family grant of $1,600 per year, later raised to $2,400. The personal income tax exemption later became $1,000 under President Reagan. (As Senator McGovern had previously sponsored a bill, submitted by the National Welfare Rights Organization, for $6,500 guaranteed minimum income per year to families, based on need.) In addition, McGovern supported ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment.� [Negative income tax idea brought to you by Milton Friedman: instead of paying an income tax; low-income people would receive a direct subsidy, called a negative income tax, sufficient to bring them up to the subsistence level.] �In present day, the voucher idea for healthcare, -- also Milton Friedman. The voucher would need to be gigantic in order to prevent leaving people in a bad way, uses up the voucher money for the year, too early.

Nixon might have had a real and true landslide, had it not been for the fact that 5 men were caught breaking into the Democratic headquarters, which so happened to be, at the Watergate complex, in Washington D.C., same year as the election of 1972. Two reporters from the Washington Post, Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward, were talking to a guy, who they called Deep Throat, [an informant, Mark Felt, who was associate director at the FBI, was Deep Throat, -- we found out in the 2000�s]; because Mr. Felt could link these 5 burglars to the Nixon administration. Well, this is a bunch of bunk; lies in politics as usual, claimed Mr. Nixon. And Nixon won the election in spite of this burglary discovered.

I can lie if I am a politician? Politics as usual, -- is mainly why suffering goes on forever. Is only Mr. Nixon? No. And I do feel sorry for Mr. Nixon, but the very most damning accusation against him, had the I.R.S. going out against who he perceived to be an enemy? As he will use any means, the I.R.S., only an example? Why this is the tactics expected only from the fiercest cold blooded dictator.

Black lists, your own personal meanie list, is spooky, anyway. Not emotionally well for certain. Unstable. Paranoid. The presidency had become too powerful. How long had it been this way?

Meanwhile, Henry Kissinger, Secretary of Defense, along with Richard Nixon were communicating, and working with China. And then, a CIA man, named Daniel Ellsberg and Anthony Russo released a paper, concerning how the Vietnam war is run, which had top secret information throughout it. The Pentagon Papers were sent to Congressmen and journalists. Fortunately, for Nixon, his actions weren�t in it; it was Johnson who was in the hot seat. �Said, Mr. Kissinger, ��The publication of these documents was selective, one-sided, and clearly intended as a weapon of political warfare. � It unfairly damaged reputations,� ..I not only supported Nixon on his opposition to this wholesale theft and unauthorized disclosure: I encouraged him. �an unsuccessful effort was made in court to block publication by civil injunction. �I was not aware of other steps later taken, the sordidness, puerility, and ineffectuality of which eventually led to the downfall of the Nixon Administration.� [1] All the lies told, concerning Vietnam, were out. This breach of security will be approved of by the Courts.

Now, White House Counsel John Dean and Chief of Staff H.R. Haldeman faced prosecution. Men on Nixon�s Cabinet. �.And then, summer of 1973, White House aide Alexander Butterfield testified that Nixon recorded his conversations. Those were personal; Nixon won�t give those tapes up, is his Executive Privilege. So these tapes were subpoenaed by the Watergate Special Counsel Archibald Cox. �Nixon fired this Cox guy. Leon Jaworski replaces him. �.Mr. Nixon had to explain that there is actually, 18 and a half minutes of conversation on these tapes, missing. His secretary, Rose Mary Woods, said whoops, it was her, but an accident only. �Well.. now, people are thinking those minutes of conversation are gone for a reason. Looks fishy.

October 1973. Mr. Nixon�s vice president, Spiro Agnew had bribery, tax evasion and money laundering charges hanging over him, from back when he had been the governor of Maryland. So he resigned, leaving the vice presidential slot vacant. Gerald Ford, Minority Leader of the House of Representatives, [Democratic majority in Congress at this time], will become President if the presidency becomes prematurely vacant also. Says our constitution.

The legal battle over the tapes ensued, but by April 1974, Nixon released 1,200 pages of telephone taped transcripts of his White House conversations. But now, the House Judiciary Committee opened impeachment hearings against the President, May 1974. As they insisted on only full tapes, not partial transcripts whatsoever said the Supreme Court. These hearings voted 27 to 11 for obstruction of justice. [I recall televised hearings.]

And then, the �smoking gun� tape, which proved that Nixon was told of the break in at the Watergate Apartments soon after it occurred, and then he began a plan to hide the truth. ,,,August 9, 1974, in order to avoid impeachment, Mr. Nixon resigned from public office.

�To increase U.S. leverage, Nixon ordered the incursion into Cambodia in 1970, the massive bombing of Hanoi, and the mining of Haiphong Harbor to cut off Soviet aid.� [Oxford Military, on Answers.com] But by 1973, the war was trying to be over for all soldiers; as there are less casualties, and Nixon ended the draft. 1973, and finally the POW�s are being released. 1975, North Vietnam overtakes South Vietnam and the Vietnam war is finally over completely.

*�Paul Goodman Changed My Life�. Documentary on Netflex. Paul Goodman wrote a book, �Growing Up Upsurd�. Teenagers and college students appreciated his candid look at the way things are. 1950, Paul Goodman is already around; and he is credited as one of the people who ushered in the entire �Civil Rights� era, or rather the era for positive change. [Married, but homosexual, he was open about it. During a time when being homosexual was ridiculously prejudiced against. And no one was open.] �Good old common sense will change the system. Good old common sense is not what criminals who work in the system want. �.Mr. Goodman even spoke against cars destroying our cities; he had better plans for cities. �Once the entire social justice era was over, by 1974, Mr. Goodman was interviewed, and spoke a very large disappointment in my age group, -- the teenager. My age group is as responsible as the 2 before, who knew social justice and then had social justice to drop off the planet. One moment we are all for social justice, the next we care to our painted toe nails and dating only. Ego is false belief;, self excitement only and egotistical is all society is. [Mr. Buckley is the first face you see in this documentary.]

*Bobby Seale, was co founder of the Black Panthers Self Defense organization, along with Huey Newton. ..�Worked as sheet-metal mechanic at various aircraft plants, late 1950s; cofounder (with Huey Newton) and chairman of the Black Panther Party for Self-Defense, 1966-74; founder of the Advocates Scene, 1974; author; lecturer. Community liaison for Temple University's African-American Studies Department.� �
��Seale's intentions, more extensive than Newton's, lay in establishing contacts with other radical groups, both in the black protest movement and in the mostly white peace movement. "You don't fight racism with racism," Seale pointed out to Time 's Wallace Terry. "The best way to fight racism is with solidarity." In 1968, acting on this belief, he led the Panthers to form the Peace and Freedom Party with several white radical groups.�� 1971, Seale was accused of ordering a murder of another black panther, who told on the organization; but the jurors were dead locked, and there was no retrial.. �.But,.. Seale is for working with other groups, gets along, to make things occur. Is why he left the Black Panthers years later. [quotes off of Answers.com, on Gale Contemporary Black Biography websites.]

*William F. Buckley. [1925 to 2008]. His father was an oil baron. 1951, he joined the CIA and worked under E. Howard Hunt. He wrote several books, wrote for magazines, [he quit working for the American Mercury magazine when they were perceived anti-Semitic.]
�God and Man at Yale. The 25-year-old Buckley wrote that he entered Yale with a firm belief in Christianity, limited government, and the free enterprise system. But he found that Yale's teachers, courses, and textbooks showed little sympathy for Christianity and private property. Instead, they favored secular values and advocated centralized government planning. Buckley urged his fellow Yale alumni to elect university trustees who would reform the university and fire atheist and socialist faculty. Academic freedom, Buckley argued, was a superstition that denied the university's right to promote ideas and values essential to a good education.� [off of Answers.com]

�..[[�Centralized government�?, �Socialist�? Communists never did raise incomes. WHO HAD THE BEST ECONOMY AFTER WORLD WAR 2? The U.S. did raise wages, or the Soviet Union?]]��..

Economic fact at that hour, opinion? �Again, off of Answers.com: �In 1955 Buckley established the biweekly journal National Review to promote conservative ideas and influence national affairs. Conservatives such as Buckley believed American politics was still dominated by liberal New Deal Democrats and by Republicans such as President Dwight Eisenhower who continued their policies. National Review published sharp polemical articles and reflective essays challenging conventional political ideas and proposing conservative alternative.�
More off of Answers.com: �As editor, the youthful Buckley brought together older established writers from three schools of thought. Libertarian writers such as Max Eastman and free market economists such as Milton Friedman favored individual freedom over social equality and opposed government regulation of the economy.� [As social equality you better believe, or you don�t have high self esteem at all, and one must make it into heaven, believes in social equality.] �Another book Buckley wrote, �Commonweal�: he accepted that we have to add to the deficit to defeat the Communists. He created the National Review Magazine. Mr. Buckley is accredited for clarifying what we now refer to as Modern Conservatism. 1960, he helped create the �Young Americans for Freedom�. He was a syndicated news columnist, and was the commentator on PBS network�s show Firing Line. 1966-1999.
�Even friendly biographers do not give him adequate credit in deconstructing liberalism ... Buckley did not elevate conservatism to a major political force simply because he was a charming guy, though that didn�t hurt; but because he laid bare with a penetrating logic the inconsistencies of liberal and leftist thought.� [Conservapedia website]. Same website said, �A conservative is someone who adheres to principles of personal responsibility, moral values, and limited government, agreeing with George Washington�s Farewell Address that "religion and morality are indispensable supports" to political prosperity. Same website also said: �Former President Ronald Reagan said, "The basis of conservatism is a desire for less government interference or less centralized authority or more individual freedom."� Individual freedom, meaning survival of the fittest, frankly, here, or rather, criminal neglect. They were against a helping hand; they professed a bootstrap to lift the poor, but disagreed in giving a real one. Just go beg at charities, -- who absolutely do not offer a real boot strap. {Infringing on individual�s liberties, is what true individual freedom actually means. Although, Mr. Buckley changed his heart in later years, and spoke of legalizing drugs, and making it the medical issue it is.} Regardless, the entire Conservatism movement was only about making certain wages will not be raised.

*�Buckley appeared in a series of televised debates with Gore Vidal during the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago. In their penultimate debate on August 28 of that year, the two disagreed over the actions of the city police and the protesters at the ongoing convention. In reference to the response of the police involved in supposedly taking down a Viet Cong flag, moderator Howard K. Smith asked whether raising a Nazi flag during the Second World War would have elicited a similar response. Vidal responded that people were free to state their political views as they saw fit, whereupon Buckley interrupted and noted that people were free to speak their views but others were also free to ostracize them for holding those views,�� [off wiki pedia]

*Gore Vidal. Born 1925. Is a novelist, playwright, essayist, and has written several history books. ---- During the mid 1980�s we were given several old Playboy magazines, from the 1970�s; and yes, they were a jewel because of the famous interviews of well known people, the magazine always had. -- Mr. Vidal was one of these interviews, and his views on Democracy really got me thinking. As, these interviews from Playboy magazine are a gold mind for what is now, history. �I read Playboy for the articles.�

*Arthur M. Schlesinger Jr. 1917-2007 . Well. He is the guy to interview about the missing stimulus. But he died; and no one did. His father, with the very same name, was a very famous historian. He followed in his father�s footsteps, also a historian and writer of many books; and he became the academic big connection to Kennedy who helped him with his New Deal legislation. Social legislation at this hour mostly, only. �It is said that he had thought at the time, during the early 1960�s, that Buckley�s anti New Deal campaign, would simply go away.

*Students should note there is a great book to be written, researching and documenting amusing and or unique/different incidents that occurred in American History, -- Such as,�. When George McGovern told a heckler to kiss his ass. Or, Richard Nixon�s famous �Checkers speech�; or the time Ann Ryn told William F. Buckley that he was far too intelligent to believe in God. �.Jane Fonda, famous actress who had been married to Tom Hayden, well known MOBE activist, protested the war by meeting with North Vietnamese soldiers. The Buckley right, represented by Ronald Reagan were extremely angry. Treasonous!. They would claim.

*Speaking of God: Due to Buckley�s religious tendencies, it must be admitted then, in clarity, the role of Government: laissez-faire economic theory, suggests if you are shy, meek, average in I.Q. you can just go die. �.Not everyone can get on Welfare if they are in a terrible bind, goes homeless. As we know, �Sorry, nothing we can do for you.� if someone is homeless, is murder level behavior. And having to do something for this person, then has them dumped in a mental home against their will, or only allowed to be in a homeless shelter for a bit, is beyond evil, and has devastating consequences.. �Government�s responsibility: Is to progress every individual for their eternal life, certainly is progressing, and safe on Earth. To run Earth correctly. ��Buckley�s idea of �small government� does nothing but build high ways, is irreligious. Again, small government is a term only to see that a voting republic cannot intrude into individual�s personal lives, cannot be unfair to anyone, -- such as the parents who were told by a judge [2013], that they can not name their child Messiah. In as much as they would likely end up with a new pronunciation, legally, the judge ruled illegally. As I will mention again, Buckley himself, will finally agree that all drugs should be legalized; as people are cured if you treat medical issues as medical issues, -- agreeing with many �liberals� on this. But facts are facts.

*�Dragnet�: a television series, 1960�s into the 1970�s; is a sociological wonderment.
During this era, most honestly, the anti marijuana message, connected with hard drugs, which really are seriously terrible: Amusingly, even the creator of this show, Jack Webb, who portrayed an FBI agent, explained that educating children to have high self esteem young, will create an educated populace who will Not prefer to be addicted to any hard drug at all; thus, will not do so. He is right. However, society was too pretentious, {I am better in tone}, to teach self esteem. As now we can: it is an honor to be with everyone equally, is what high self esteem is�. However, this show was our nations propaganda.
��..How can we though, teach high self esteem, if our children attend schools where
�I am better�, subtle bullying, treated as if normal, is allowed? Not normal, and abusive to send children to schools to be told they must be �better� or be told they are inferior.

*Separation of Church and State is: Church is theology. It is actually Separation of Church and Theology, -- prevent one Theology from becoming a bully over the others; as some on the Mayflower came over, as we all know, due to Theological persecution.. Spiritual fact, is higher reality, is the Golden Rule is at the Core of All religions, and is the very basis of our Constitution, and the Only reason mean shallow voters do not have a right to vote away the basic rights of others; and is the Only reason dictators cannot do the same. It is the only reason we are safe.

*Born 1958, this war lasted my whole life up to this point. Many students who went to my high school wore POW and MIA bracelets, which had a name of an actual soldier on them. They took them off when that particular solider came home. �My husband was in the Navy 1975. His ship was off of the Vietnamese coast. They threw helicopters over board to make room on the ship for all the Vietnamese people who wanted or needed to escape.

*1972, one of the Watergate burglars was James Mc Cord, Jr. who worked for the Nixon campaign, as security officer for the Committee to Re-elect the President [CREEP]. Another burglar had E. Howard Hunt�s name in his address books, ..with a White House address. Hunt was assistant to Charles Colson, who was special counsel to President Nixon. �.Hunt and McCord both had also been CIA men, -- Hunt had been in charge of the invasion of Cuba in 1961. The Chief of CREEP, was Attorney General of the United States, John Mitchell. [Everyone who was old enough remembers his wife, Martha, who would come on the Johnny Carson show.]
The police were not originally aware of the White House connections to this burglary. The news was out before anyone, not even the police, understood the seriousness of this situation.. �.When the Grand Jury indicted the 5 burglars plus Howard Hunt, and then G. Gordon Liddy, lower ranking White House officials began to talk. They implicated John Mitchell, Robert Haldeman and John Ehrlichman, Nixon�s White House Aides. And then, finally, Richard Nixon. [A huge laundry list of accusations came out. Mitchell forged letters, leaked false news items to the press, [as did Robert Kennedy and Johnson], illegal contributions, [things have so deteriorated 2012, that those contributions are probably legal today]. Nixon secretly planned to give a million dollars to the burglars to shut them up, as he will pardon them if they are jailed. $450,000 was given to them, through Ehrlichman� John Mitchell and Maurice Stans were accused of getting $250,000 for favors. There are FBI files that have simply vanished. ��1969-70, and it was disclosed that a massive Secret bombing campaign had been going on in Cambodia.

*The Cable network, CNN did a documentary on Nixon, 2013, through Nixon�s eyes. They explained in the simplest terms, that these 5 guys were caught burgling the Democratic Headquarters, for spying sake, at the Watergate Hotel. One of these guys, it was found, had been hired by Dwight Chapin, a Whitehouse aid to Nixon. This connection was too much for everyone. Did Nixon know? [If CNN is allowed to keep its news network status, it will profoundly embrace economic facts most well round idly. Advertisers loose sight of facts are over.] Fair to Nixon, in that, we hear his words, instead of someone else�s perceptions. [As it should be noted, that in fairness to Nixon, he did not believe the National Guard would actually shoot to kill, students at Kent State. Not that the Guard should have been there; nor should they have believed that there was to be any cause for shoot to kill.]

*Henry Kissinger�s legacy is relations with China and Soviet Union: ��On June 8 I took Anatoly Dobrynin to Camp David for a leisurely discussion of US-Soviet relations. Dobrynin told me benignly that the Soviet Union had no objection to a gradual improvement of our relations with China��[1]

*When Nixon resigned, Bernstein and Woodward, the journalists from the Washington Post who broke the Watergate Story, wrote that there may be a �restoration� of the presidential office, as Gerald Ford, after Nixon�s resignation, said, �The system is working.� ��.Yet, the �system� changed nothing. And one man said so, Claude Julien, editor of Le Monde Diplomatique, in 1974: �The elimination of Mr. Richard Nixon leaves intact all the mechanisms and all the false values which permitted the Watergate Scandal.� �.To such a degree, the United States is now on its Great Decline.

*December 4, 1969, around 5 a.m., FBI and police raided an apartment where Black Panthers lived. They fired 82 rounds of ammunition at them, in their home. They shot 21 year old Fred Hampton while he lay in bed, and Mark Clark. Underground activities, even if in violent intent, �you arrest people then, you don�t ambush them. Non violence gives bad governments no excuse to say, they are going after criminals who are armed and dangerous. However, still, they better be darn dangerous, if you shoot someone.

*Shoot American Indians at Wounded Knee, again!? Normal behavior would have allowed the folks at Wounded Knee to be, in prayerful understanding, would have solved it so well. [It is not as if the U.S., if truly sorry for past offences would dare take an arrogant tone in the least.!] Peoples grievances matter. Act like it, is the law. �A Shoot to kill order, is what Mr. Daley should have known he could not legally order. First degree murder charges, if someone isn�t darn dangerous. No one is too powerful to be arrested properly for first degree murder charges.

*The most famous of the FBI agent heads, who passed away early 1970�s, J. Edgar Hoover, was so dishonest in practice, that he should have been in legal trouble as early as 1954 at the very least. His dinosaur perceptions, thought him privileged to break the law.

* The Federal government can tax anything they want is this: �From 1937 to 1995, the Supreme Court of the U.S. did not void a single Act of Congress for exceeding Congress's power under the Commerce Clause of the U.S. Constitution� [wiki], .. if federal commerce is affected, the federal government can then tax -- is about all commodity anyway. The �New Federalism� issue that was going around, wants more power to the states. [Rehnquist�s Supreme Court �reined in� federal regulatory power. US vs. Lopez, 1995, and U.S. v. Morrison, 2000.]
�2005, Gonzales v. Raich, they made an exception with medical marijuana, --the Feds can prosecute. Marijuana, lesser in bad effects then alcohol, is what we do now know, 2012. It is illegal to have it illegal. Enforcing the Law is this. This is what an intrusive law actually is. You don�t parent adults, and say you can. Is illegal and dishonest. �Although, today all people are held accountable to know better; as no one is afraid of the marijuana incursion anymore.

*1970, you were allowed work, you full well know you can do, without a college degree. 1980, only outside beggary sales jobs offer good money, if you sell. �As inside sales companies would dare to pay no salaries at all, only commissions; yet, you had to show up at work on time? Is against the law. The only reason this phenomena is not common as it used to be, is no one will work for nothing. This practice is illegal. And the economy is too lousy to work for nothing in hopes you will sell that ugly couch which would be hard to sell in a good economy.

*1970, 40% of the women worked low paying jobs. ��The �me generation� was settling behind the civil rights generation. By 1974, pop psychology they called it. The title of one of the more famous books from this era says what self esteem is, actually,: �I�m Okay, You�re Okay.� If, everyone had honored merely the title of this book, we would have had the first generation of people with high self esteem, ever. But of course, these positive facts were not what led the 1970�s through the 1990�s, instead, I am better then you is proven if I have more money then you. �Blue jeans are what the unpretentious wear, by 1980, designer jeans. However, regardless, on the other hand, the panty hose era today, is waning, and comfort will rule. �Journalists were too superficial to see I am okay if you are okay. Does include the poor.

*1975, Gloria Steinem, well known woman�s rights activist, actually solved the problem of referring to single adult women as �Miss�. Makes them sound like the little child spinsters they are? Is disrespectful, as being unmarried should be just as respectful, -- while old Uncle Dinosaur will treat you as if a lesser person for being unmarried, is not attached to a man, is simply the most unimportant person in the world. Uncle Dino won�t even acknowledge such a girl, [adult]. Ms. Steinem invented �Ms.� to replace Miss. I have always used Ms., myself personally, instead of Mrs. None of your business if I am married or not. �Ms. Steinem also created �Ms. Magazine.�

*Little Richard, rock n roll singer [Tootie Fruity], from the 1950�s says he invented rock n roll. Who am I to see anything other. However, around 1971, I was 14 years old., and the movie about the 1950�s came out, �American Graffiti�. I had never heard 1950�s music of any kind, my entire life until this movie. As rock n roll wasn�t old enough to have an oldies station yet. I loved this music; couldn�t believe it existed all along; and directly went out and bought the Carpenters 1950�s music album, they had just come out with after this movie. �..I try to mention as few people as possible, as this show is too big anyway: Elvis Presley though.

*Newspaper Preservation Act, passed 1970: Took away anti trust. Consequences: Early 1990�s, Hearst Corp. owned the Express News in San Antonio, Texas. Hearst bought out the other paper, the San Antonio Light, and then fired everyone who worked there. He closed the paper down, so now the Express News does not have any big competitor. Thus, what they actually did, is legislate the anti-newspaper preservation act.

*Ralph Nader, born, 1934, is a writer, lecturer, lawyer. ��In 1965, Nader wrote �Unsafe at Any Speed�, a book which claimed that many American automobiles were unsafe. The first chapter, "The Sporty Corvair - The One-Car Accident," pertained to the Corvair manufactured by the Chevrolet division of General Motors, which had been involved in accidents involving spins and rollovers.� [Wikipedia]
An anti-sway bar problem. Nader said at Congressional hearings, that the Covair is �the leading candidate for the unsafest car title.� �Sales went down by half, and then very low sales for the Corvairs� by 1968. �.Public response encouraged the National traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act, 1966. �The legislation mandated a series of safety features for automobiles, beginning with safety belts and stronger windshields..�
A few years ago, I watched an interview, probably C-span, with Ralph Nader. He said the legislature has since altered the law, so that General Motors, or what ever product, is more difficult to sue now. Many lawsuits occurred over accidents that had occurred. [When I was 10, my Dad drove me to school every morning in this light blue tiny, snazzy convertible Corvair.]

*"In early March 1966, several media outlets, including The New Republic and The New York Times, reported that GM had tried to discredit Nader, hiring private detectives to tap his phones and investigate his past and hiring prostitutes to trap him in compromising situations. Nader sued the company for invasion of privacy and settled the case for $425,000. Nader's lawsuit against GM was ultimately decided by the New York Court of Appeals, whose opinion in the case expanded tort law to cover "overzealous surveillance". Nader used the proceeds from the lawsuit to start the pro-consumer Center for Study of Responsive Law." [Wikipedia] Crooks like to run justice backwards, to cover up. As if anything they find out about Nader would solve the car manufacturing problems.

*A few other Acts: comprehensive Child Development Bill 1971. Congress passed but Nixon vetoed this measure that would have national day care so that women can work, because it sounded commune-ish, thus communistic. �Laws passed, -- Organized Crime Control Act, 1970; Legislative Reorganization Act.

*The Supreme Court Decision, 1973, Roe vs. Wade, �first trimester pregnancies can be aborted, and the states cannot overrule this. The federal government will honor states rights to outlaw abortions for, 2nd trimester on up pregnancies, unless the mother�s life is in danger. If a state does not outlaw 2nd and 3rd trimesters, then abortion is legal, is of course, the federal government needs to amend this, making certain fully formed fetuses are not aborted as if you are merely being rid of a wart. -- As the brain is not formed even, first trimester. �As, the day after pill science has, does now exist. �God interferes, to put it earth-like, � God�s committee is summoned if a problem is occurring, that is in the spiritual realm is to handle. �Such as, if someone is fixing to die, and he can�t get out of it, his personality has already gone to heaven right before they die. Is common sense in integrity, as to God�s truest nature. �It is not logical that a personality is placed in a fetus until the moment he is born, -- as the womb atmosphere isn�t going to have a conscious guy dealing. But even if God did put a personality in a body still in the womb, for the brain then, to allow, animal intelligence is high, still is, while God�s problem docket has you on it, if you are considering an abortion in the 2nd or 3rd trimester, if they need to act in some way here, -- will know not to place a personality in that womb.. [Or rather, who wants to be on God�s docket; all of us would rather do better then this, if we can.] �I surely do not wish for the bad old days, when women died by having an abortion in back alleys as they say. But, everyone knows if an abortion must occur, it best occur very early as possible, before there is a brain that can work. �Education will rid of the need for abortion mostly. Just as basic emotional health facts are why counselors will now more easily cure people, and drug abuse, not use, but abuse, will end absolutely. [Abortion, like all issues, can be morally resolved in basic common sense. Anyone who disagrees with me, honestly, will communicate properly, then, to this.] --- It is a human rights issue; is not then, a State Issue, will have made late term abortions illegal in every state. All moral issues/ golden rule issues, are a Federal issue; because, as we do know, morality does not change from state to state.

*My dad was a political junkie. He stayed up all night watching the 1968 Democratic Convention. I remember walking in my parents bedroom, where Dad was, watching the Convention. As a 10 year old, seeing all those protests, the extreme commotion, on the television. �.Philosophically speaking, if God said Edy, you can look younger, if we make you born younger, and you will miss the 1960�s. I would tell him, I�d rather look old, then loose one decade experienced on Earth. [1968, I lived in Des Moines. Only my parents and this other one boy, had parents who were voting for Hubert Humphrey.]
