Final thought on today's rage: renewed my awe at how scary the 1960s were. See this list: 109 riots in 1967, 71 deaths. I hope I'm not speaking too soon, and don't mean to minimize the seriousness, but I don't think 2020 will be anywhere close to that.https://www.usnews.com/news/national-news/articles/2017-07-12/race-troubles-109-us-cities-faced-violence-in-1967 …
When we immigrated to the US in 1968, my parents were quite worried about all the rioting that was going on at the time.

1967, 1968, ... weren't those the years we were shipping kids off to die in a known lost cause (known at least to those doing the shipping, so to speak)?

I really love the US. Met a lot of inspirational, smart people there who have helped me become a much better person. But there are a few things about the US that truly bother me: 1) Mass-shootings; 2) No public healthcare; 3) Systemic marginalization; 4) Politicians like Trump.
