Nice

Just found out that a great uncle of mine was part of the "Committee to End Aid to the Soviet Enemy" during the Vietnam War. In the 1930s he had worked for Rex Tugwell (undersecretary for Agriculture for FDR) in the Department of Agriculture--the incubator for modern liberalisms wrongheaded "solutions" to economic problems. He moved rightward over the course of his life as he gained wisdom, apparently.
