Vietnam Moratorium

1) What further questions/comments do you have about this historical event?
I think that the policeman just used the excuse that there was one guy that took a 6 pack from a liquor store and ran towards the park were they were protesting to just go and ruin their protest. I think that was really sad because they shouldn't be treated like that! :(


2) One African American veteran said of his experience in Vietnam, "Why should I come over here when some of the South Vietnamese live better than my own people back in the States". What do you think he meant by this?
I think he tried to say that since he wasn't treated good there why was he still there helping them if they treated him worse than his own place.


3) What issues do you believe should be marched for today (perhaps similar issues that were marched for in 1970)?
I think that the issues that should be marched today is that how come high class people have good money if they don't really work for it, and mexicans that do everything get paid less money for their hard work.


4) BONUS: For the girls who attended the forum, please reflect on your experience. What did you think of the speakers and/or film? What further questions do you have? What feelings did you leave with?

Do you belive that animals can predict disasters?




I belive that animals can predict disasters. The reason why i belive that animals can prdict disasters is becuse there are some researchers that belive the same thing. Also many pet owners belive this to be true from their own experiences. In 1989 there was an earthquke, the geologist found out the highest number of dogs missing(used it as a prediction)15-57 dogs were missing according to his calculation. Humans depended on animals to tell if a storm was coming. In china snakes helped predict a deadly earthquake. Humans have relied on birds and on other animals to predict violent weather now plus hundreads of years ago. I also say that is true because now in days every time there's a firefighter truck going on emergency i can hear the dogs hauling. They problaly do that because they feel that someone got hurt or needs help.
