    I wondered if anyone was going to note his passing. RIP Sen. McGovern.

    "I am fed up with a system which busts the pot smoker and lets the big dope racketeer go free.”

    “I'm fed up to the ears with old men dreaming up wars for young men to die in.”

    “It doesn't require any particular bravery to stand on the floor of the Senate and urge our boys in Vietnam to fight harder, and if this war mushrooms into a major conflict and a hundred thousand young Americans are killed, it won't be U. S. Senators who die. It will be American soldiers who are too young to qualify for the senate.”....Sen. George McGovern

    May he rest in Peace
