@4 damn straight Skippy. I'd been named in an FBI file by the time I was 6, my parents were active in both the anti-war protests and the civil rights movement.

As said to my father by the head of the police department"s anti-subversives unit (yes that is what they called it at the time), "Ah Reverend xxxxxxx nice to meet you, we know all about you." circa 1968

The "cocktail party" had been arranged by the city to reduce tensions.
