To put this in perspective, according to the Census Bureau, the United States population in 1970 was 203 Million. They wanted 50 million dead. They wanted a quarter of the United States population of that day dead. That quarter they wanted dead was the quarter that would stand up to them. Fight them. Deny them their goals.
Whoops. Not 50 million dead. 25 Million. 12.5% of the population.
