@Ferric: When I was growing up, J Edgar Hoover didn't like anyone whose politics disagreed with his. That meant that many of my friends, and me, had files in the FBI. We were harrassed, just like Bobby, sometimes to the point of losing our jobs, and our passports, just because we were on that list of Hoover's. My feeling is that times were worse for us then, than they are now.
Your names not Dillinger by any chance is it Chopwood?

No, Stevie, I was a protestor against the Viet Nam war. Photographers appeared around every gathering I attended, and I soon found that I and my friends had problems. I do not know to this day if I can get a passport.
what if they dont?

I've never been on a protest march,although i have supported the CND at Gladstonbury festival quite a few times in the early eighties.It was pretty good being part of it...So did you attend the rally at the Washington monument?

Nationalism is a dangerous game it groups human beings and the next step is to say one group is better than another. We need to judge people as individuals not by race, colour, creed or by what games they happen to play well.
Some say we should not judge at all; this is total error, but we do need to have a sharp judgement and take care before we accept what others may say.

Actually I'm out of this world and off the chain, and they're always watching me.
Cannot remember how ''conscientious objectors'' were handled in Britain Stevie?
Think they made them dig potatoes or exile to St Kilda or some other remote-outpost??

Was that supposed to hurt my feelings? Haven't you got anything with a bit more punch? I call a lot of people "brother" or "sister." Obviously you and I are nothing alike. As for "responsibility," you're barking up the wrong tree. I've taken responsiblity for a lot of people.
HEY, since I am one-half Serbo-Croatian and the OP (Mr. @SerbWhatever) hasn't posted in his tread in an eon, why not change this topic to another tautological truism --
"WHY DO SERBS STILL THINKING HIGHLY OF MARSHALL TITO"
