1. That phrase was replaced with "Groovy, man"

[Lasher]

3. Like, peace man.

It's still a groovy idea.

4. Farm Out man ...I always thought it was "Gravy"

:silly:

2. I remember fascist dreams in every Bush...

[MindPilot]

5. I always thought it was around every corner

We have to remember, back then it wasn't common practice to shave down there.

6. The fearmongering shit has been going on forever.

It's ingrained in what passes here for "culture" - and it's not going away any time soon.

7. Remember it?....I spent my youth looking for them.....

:evilgrin:

8. And the Missile Gap. Political suicide if you questioned the Missile Gap.

Almost 50 years later, we see it as the hokum it was.

What will 9/11 look like 50 years from now?
