But, if you had chosen to teach for a year, would it have been?
My BS-Physics was not adequate for teaching credentials. Even then, liberal arts schools were indoctrination centers for socialists/communists. SDS (Students for a Democratic (read socialist) Society) was burning flags, books and shouting down any conservative voices. Arizona was a Barry Goldwater state but the Viet war changed all that due to lies, ect.
Little known FACT. The Eisenhower Interstate Highway system was in full swing during the early 60’s. After LBJ stole the White House with voting fraud (documented true), he canceled the freeway system.
By that time, however, all states had had plans submitted and approved so it was of NO consequence. EXCEPT Arizona. We had yet to submit a solid plan.
As a result, we still have not finished even a rudimentary functional system. And we have done it with minimal federal funding.
It has been rumored that LBJ commented when he dumped the project that it would teach that (nasty/crude euphemism for Jew) a lesson. Yes, Goldwater had a Jewish heritage.
Hell, LBJ didn’t even have the sniper rifle powder residue washed from his hands when this happened.
