I don't know why it makes me sad. Wasn't really sad at that time. I had lost interest by that time. .

But remembering that humid night was now 50 years ago makes me sad. Maybe because there have been so many political scandals since. Maybe because we were more innocent back then. Etc etc.

So much has changed... We had Tricky Dick, then eventually Donald Dump. We now have the most corrupt Supreme Court ever. Good overcame evil that day. Now idiocity and evil prevail.
