Political Discourse in the 60's

It's amazing that in the crazy and violent 60's, one of our most psychotic presidents still publicly paid some serious respect to people who opposed him. In other words, this public discourse was almost civilized, even though actual policies of the time were barbaric...So, what's better, trying to explain why there is disagreement, or just character assassination of everyone by everyone that we see today? Go figure, it's all subterfuge of one type or another, but look who finally one in the issue discussed here. I like the civility and what finally ended our abomination in Vietnam was when everyone was on the streets.

I guess I'm waxing nostalgic about the days when journalism was an honorable profession, Rush Limbaugh insanity wasn't commercially viable.  It was at least a time when there could be a reasonable discourse, as opposed to the purely Orwellian double speak that is the coin of the realm today!
