I Spoke At The University Of Georgia, And A Whole Contingent Of Tea Party People In Hell's Angels Regalia Came In And Sat In The Front And Scowled At Me While I Gave My Talk. And Afterwards The Head Of The Group Got To The Microphone And Said, I'm Surprised That I Agree With Almost Everything You Said, But I'm Worried That You're A Big Government Guy.

The Massive Anti-war Movement, Which I Was A Part Of And Which Was A Major Part Of My Life, Never Stopped The War In Vietnam.

[the Whole First Year At University] Was A Great Time For Me And Great Time Of Awakening.

When I Was Arrested Opposing The War In Vietnam In 1965, As I Said About 20 Or 30% Of People Were Opposed To The War. By 1968, More Than Half Of Americans Were Opposed To The War. If You Pull In Europeans, Canadians, People From Around The Third World, The War Was Vastly Unpopular. But Even Half Of Americans By 1968 Opposed The War.

It Felt To Me Like I Was Living My Life In A Way That Didn't Make Mockery Of My Values. That's What I Intended To Do. So, That Became A Very Radicalizing Proposition For Me.

I Was From My Little Perch In A Prep School I Saw The Civil Rights Movement And It Was Defining The Moral Dimensions Of The Time And I Was Drawn To It And I Read James Baldwin And Read Invisible Man And These Were My Touch Points. But It Was When I Got To Michigan And Saw A Bigger World, A Real World, That I Got Involved.
