I just feel that I don't agree with sensationalized versions of history or me. Any version that's sensationalized.

I guess I feel very strongly that I disagree with the notion of personalizing history and movements and big events.

I was shocked at the anger toward me.

The aspects of patriotism that hush dissent, encourage going along, and sanction comfortable distancing and compliance with what is indecent and unacceptable... those aspects are too fundamental to ignore or gloss over.

Over all, many of society's values are a cesspool.

I think the Sixties in some ways is a barrier to young people today. They think of it, you know, what we're doing is not that. But it's partly the myth of the Sixties. It always felt embattled and small. It always, almost always, was a small group of people relative to the opposition around.
