Thomas seems to be turning her novella around. In the fifth chapter she describes the LBJ administration. the light that she casts over this president has a different hugh than I expected.
the sixties were a trans formative era for the united states. the Vietnam war was prosecuted illegally, Kennedy was assassinated, we landed on the moon, us soldiers fired on and killed four middle class students on the campus of Kent State during a war demonstration.
The United States is spiralling down this same path. Absolutism rules the political humorous and the cynics get all the ratings. We murder ourselves indiscriminately and sponsor "days of silence" in order to grieve.....
Thomas and her homies dropped the ball in the sixties and now we're dealing with it. I don't say that to blaim her generation or the generation she baby sat. I say that because I have the utmost confidence in my generation to backward engineer. We will fix the problems we inhereted.
