A new day for Wisconsin

Wisconsin is quite a place. Much of what is going on today reminds me of my days in Madison as a University of Wisconsin undergraduate and law student in the ’60s.

They were “the good old days” if you were a part of that generation that spent your waking hours doing drugs, demonstrating, occupying campus buildings and dreaming of revolution. In the late ’60s a student was killed when leftist radicals blew up a campus building, students were often prevented from attending classes as protesters and National Guardsmen faced off against each other for weeks at a time, and the smell of tear gas was as pervasive as that of marijuana.

Most of those who attended the university back then grew up, got over it and moved on, but others stayed on as university faculty members, public school teachers, perennial students and part of the vague leftist community that continues to celebrate the era as the most exciting of their lives.
