Ed T,

There was a phrase coinded in the late 60's, when I was totally wet behind the ears, fresh out of college and just starting my career with Allis Chalmer in 1967. I received a certified letter from teh US government and was offered the opportunity to serve my country for 2 years - a duty and privlidege for sure. But first I had to take a physical exam and do things like cough, bend over, provide a specimen, read an eye exam chart, pass a color blind test and other such stuff. As I was exiting the exam center in Chicago there were some folks demonstrating out side and they were chanting this coined phrase that I extend to you - "Peace and Love".

For the record my draft board advised me that I passed the exam with flying colors and offered 3 hots & a cot and a few buck too.

Fact of the week
Foundling hatches are safe, anonymous drop-off points for unwanted infants, allowing parents in crisis a way to surrender a baby safely without fear of punishment, ensuring the child is rescued and cared for. The concept started in the 12th century, was abandoned in the late 19th century, then reintroduced in 1952. It has since been adopted in many countries.
