Post #49,978 by a6l6e6x 8/20/02 9:46:07 PM Reply	Other than the Civil War, the nation was never... more divided than in the late 60's. Violent protests, riots, looting, terrorism, bombs, arson, kidnapping, assassinations, you name it. The Woodstock "festival" in 1969 in some ways culminated the 60's. It was about 66 miles from where I worked in Kingston, NY. When I left work for home on the Friday the concerts started, the roads in that direction were a parking lot. Fortunately, I was heading the other way. I had no idea of what was happening until I got home and my wife told me. Interesting times.
