I was born in 1960. I remember the Civil Rights movement. I remember the assassinations of MLK and RFK. I remember how my father and my uncle used to fight about Nixon. My father was a teacher and my uncle was attending a Catholic college. I couldn’t understand how anyone could vote for Nixon. But he won a second term. Then he was impeached and resigned. I’ll never forgive Gerald Ford for pardoning him. Then Jimmy Carter was elected. I wasn’t able to vote in 1976. I really felt sorry for him inheriting such a mess. I did vote for him in 1980. But sadly the movie star won. I was in college then, studying economics and political science. I couldn’t believe how so many people were and still are fooled by him. Reagan destroyed unions and the middle class. He fired more than 11000 air traffic controllers! And months later we had the worst airline crash on American soil. It’s such a joke that they named the airport for him. It feels as if history is repeating itself. And now they’re trotting out the same old playbook.. They fired the people who are responsible for making our skies safer. And now we have another horrific crash. I could go on and on about why the current president is totally unfit, unworthy, etc. It’s so frustrating the stranglehold that the corporate media has on news.
