ABSTRACT
Author has come to believe that our lives can be turned in a different direction; our minds adopt a different way of thinking. Because it seems that human beings, whatever their backgrounds, are more open than we think, that their behavior cannot be confidently predicted from their past, that we are all creatures vulnerable to new thoughts, new attitudes. The idea of saviors has been built into the entire culture, beyond politics. In politics, however, the label “extremist” carries unfavorable implications. “Extremist” carries a psychological burden when attached to political movements. The United States fought in Vietnam, it was organized modern technology versus organized human beings, and the human beings won. The glib dismissals of today’s college students as being totally preoccupied with money and self. We need to create that excitement about the issues of the time, excitement about the war, excitement about the misallocation, the waste of the country’s wealth on the military.
