As a Buffy fan, I still really enjoyed this.
As someone who lead a quiet life as a graduate student during the 60s, I
can only shudder at the documentary Chris Jones sent. Unlike Australia,
Canada could, then (not now as we are all being coerced into the war
against terrorism), stand aside & look on with that very fear and loathing
at both kent State & the body bags back from the war. The fact of our
non-combatant situation sets us apart from Australia in those years. The
sexual predators could probably be found everywhere in the first world
so-called though. As some writers here have shown too...
