    Speaking of political chaos, does anyone remember the turmoil when Dr. King and Bobby Kennedy were murdered? It's the only time as a buy that I sensed something was wrong on the national scene [[beyond Viet Nam, where my uncle served and my cousin was killed). There were riots on Main Street, which was only three miles away from my home. With all of the turmoil these days, along with the easy possession of guns, I'm glad we haven't seen a repeat [[even with Kim Jong Don). I used to pray that Obama would not be shot by some crafty nut.

    I do remember 1968 and feeling that the World was ending or something. I remember they sent us away to summer camp [[which they never did) we had to stay home from school at least one day after King was killed. I watched news even back then and the Vietnam War seemed real close to home to me as a 7-8 year old. I had dreams they were going to bomb our house.
