No, unfortunatly he did, but not in the 60s.
He said he was 5 in 61~63, so at the end of the 60s around 13, clearly not old enough to make the decisions that people facing the war had to make. He was probably mimicing the the adults he wanted to so dearly please.
When he did grow up in the 70s/80s, he busied himself with learning languages so that he could find authors that agreed with his left over childhood notions and never had to make real choices.
Sad really.

I date back to the Eisenhower Administration -- not that I really remember.

The adults I wanted to please didn't have an input here. Sometimes they looked quite askance at things I said. But they weren't going to tell me I was being some kind of evil monster for being anticommunist, after all.

So you think you understand the motives behind my endeavors. If that's what you've come up with, you're only kidding yourself. Kidding yourself is a great way not to think in an enlightened way, which is regrettable in a man of your parts, Bruce. Right now, you're being a wanker, looking for any excuse however specious to reject proliberty, prohuman thought, just to see if you can make me feel bad. Not gonna happen; too much enlightenment and prodemocracy, proliberty thinking on this end. If there's not enough on your end, isn't it time to pull up your socks? You really seem to disapprove when I inveigh against totalitarianism and declare it should be made extinct -- which tells me you want it around. If you didn't, you'd sound more like me, and I have a very good way to sound. I make democracy's slackers quite uncomfortable by pointing out the horrors with which they declare themselves in sympathy -- I can see behind a lot of what people write, looking at their reasoning process. If you can't tell when you're slinging the BS, Bruce, I certainly can.

[edit] And I got 17. Tended to miss the music/popculture ones.

Something you boys want to share with the board?
