I was deciding that I liked Prokofiev and Bartok better than Beethoven and Mussorgsky.

Don’t you get any intellectuals hanging around on this site?

Loo Hoo. @ 224

Would Bloomberg’s religion have an effect on his electability? Like it could for Romney?

My guess is that it would not. And, so far as I know, Lieberman’s religion didn’t become an issue when he was on the ticket in 2000 (as VP).

My concerns about Bloomberg are not so much about the possibility that he’d win, but that he might tend to damage the Democratic candidate more than the Republican, possibly enough to throw the outcome of the election.

I thought Bloomberg said he wasn’t going to run. Why would he get back in now?

Age 18 — aaaahhhh. It was 1971. Just graduated high school, getting ready for college. What a summer that was. No one in our high school class was drafted, so I guess the draft was either over or almost over.

We weren’t actually hippies, but we called ourselves Fake Hippies. In other words, we agreed with what they were doing. (Yes, yes, I guess I could be called a Dirty F’ing Hippie” nonetheless.)

It was before “the 60s” was over yet.

I loved that year.

‘71 the draft was still on, but those who weren’t yet 18 probably lucked out. As I turned 18 in High School in 1971 I was VERY ELIGIBLE as soon as I graduated HS. Those that turned 18 in 1972 weren’t drafted at all. The draft officially ended in March 1973. I only missed getting drafted because of the “fates”.
