How rough was that then? Is today worse? What did you think of Robert Kennedy them?

Today is worse because I really never felt unsafe in those years. I was a proud hippie and held idealistic views. Burning my bra was quite “uplifting”. :) I loved RFK. I thought he was quite strategic and thoughtful. Even more so than his brother. He would’ve made a great president, in my opinion.

RFK would have been an outstanding president, maybe one of the greatest.

I remember Kent State well. I was a young college student next door in Indiana

I have a friend older than me who was there. I think he is still traumatized.

I had hope we could make a difference. I never worried there would be AK 47 ‘s shooting us down. Robert Kennedy was a hero in my eyes.
