It's official- 2011 is 1968!
I didn't notice it until I noticed the rerun of a documentary of the same name on some cable channel.

Unrest in the US and elsewhere, American troops in a seemingly endless unpopular war...

2. Agreed.

And I think the draft made the difference.

3. I'd argue that it's certainly starting out in a similar manner.

4. And a long ways is a coming.
The GOP just turned on the fire and the pot is beginning to simmer.

It is feeling like the 2012 predictions may be accurate after all.

6. Be careful what you wish for...

...1968 changed a lot of things for the better in the long run, but it was NOT a very fun year.

7. More like the winter of 1964-65
Berkeley Free Speech Movement, Sproul Hall arrests -- followed by the start of the anti-Vietnam War movement that spring.

We've got a long ways to go -- and lots of escalating craziness -- before we get up to 1968.
