I think you mean "the PUBLIC beginning." to me, knowing what I know now, there was a whole lot of very bad shit we didn't know about then but know about now...we were sowing our own destiny on a lot of fronts.

after all, Tom, you were headed to Vietnam around then, right? QED...

Yes the public awareness. And honestly - look at the public "awareness" now - each shooting doesnt even get a raised eyebrow - one short news story and we move on - even the "thoughts and prayers" arent mentioned! As if it still doesnt touch us.

Boy was most of this country so oblivious for so many years - although oblivion lives among us right now. If it doesnt touch someone personally - ho hum.
