Very much.
The recent right hemispherical provocation by Bush reminds me of the late 60's; how song, poetry, and visuals gave the only solace available in the face of monumental cruelty and lack of humanity.
A couple months ago, I wrote Time Magazine, asking...

From this and Time's original announcement, I've revisited the matter, but considered the entire original Bush junta for this:
