The people need to arm themselves
Stockdale was also Ross Perot’s vice president running mate in 1992.
He lost points in the vice presidential debate that year when he flat out stated he wasn’t ready to comment on a specific question (I don’t remember the topic). Kind of a nice summary of the issues with our elections in one sentence, isn’t it?
Somehow I completely missed that of course Perot must have had a running mate. Thanks for the info.
I was in high school at the time, taking Current Events as a class. Our textbook was Newsweek, then a fairly respectable news source.
It was a good year to take it - the 1992 elections, the Branch Davidians, and probably a few other things. We all wrote down our predictions for how the Branch Davidian situation would end, and we were all wrong. (I do not recall my prediction.)
It’s too early to tell if the Streisand Effect will play this one out. My vote is FOR! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streisand_effect
I think the Streisand Effect might have worked for just one or two books. But they banned 381.
