We never get as much as we want done during down times....and as for 1976, I had a boss who went to berkeley in the 60's, he said it was utter chaos, but the professors were nonplussed — they said it wasn't nearly as chaotic as the 30's.

I guess democracy is normally a crazier endeavor than the sedate 80's and 90's that I grew up in.

One of my biggest regrets is letting my guard down in the 80s and 90s. The forces that got us where we are now were quietly at work, while I focused on family and work and thought politics was boring.
