Barry McGuire – Eve of Destruction
An evening pause: Performed live in 2011. Somehow this seems appropriate at the moment.
Hat tip Diane Zimmerman.
Now available in hardback and paperback as well as ebook!
From the press release: In this ground-breaking new history of early America, historian Robert Zimmerman not only exposes the lie behind The New York Times 1619 Project that falsely claims slavery is central to the history of the United States, he also provides profound lessons about the nature of human societies, lessons important for Americans today as well as for all future settlers on Mars and elsewhere in space.
Conscious Choice: The origins of slavery in America and why it matters today and for our future in outer space, is a riveting page-turning story that documents how slavery slowly became pervasive in the southern British colonies of North America, colonies founded by a people and culture that not only did not allow slavery but in every way were hostile to the practice.
Conscious Choice does more however. In telling the tragic history of the Virginia colony and the rise of slavery there, Zimmerman lays out the proper path for creating healthy societies in places like the Moon and Mars.
“Zimmerman’s ground-breaking history provides every future generation the basic framework for establishing new societies on other worlds. We would be wise to heed what he says.” —Robert Zubrin, founder of founder of the Mars Society.

Interesting.
A protest strong from the Vietnam era.
I always that it amusing that the protest songs were mainly written and sung by folks that never set foot in a war zone. There are exceptions, but the majority never did.
The guys that were actually there, however, took the names of popular songs for their own purposes.

Tanks were too heavy for a lot of the roads, and wheeled vehicles moved easier and farther, so gun trucks were built by the men that faced danger in real life, as apposed to the imagined dangers thousands of miles away here.
Don’t forget the rebuttal:

Andi: I suspect you realize this, but my point in posting this was to illustrate the panicky illogic of the 1960s anti-war movement, which is the same panicky illogic that is causing our problems today with the Wuhan flu.
…thousands of miles from there.
