Was Jane Fonda ever on the cover of AARP? I doubt it! Probably not because of that Hanoi Jane thing about in 1972. I guess they think because she protested against the Vietnam war is was anti-American. Like Bush says "Either your with us or against us."
For years after WWII the government had perfect devoted, obedient followers who believed what they were told.
Jane has regretted sitting on that gun in N. Vietnam and espousing communism. She has apologized many times over the years.
Quite frankly, I really like Jane Fonda. I think she is sexy at 69. She'll be 70 soon. I could only hope to look that good.
I think women who allow the lines to show are the sexist. Carry it well, be proud of who you are. Beauty comes from within no matter at what age. I think we all know that. I see beautiful woman at all ages.
I think lines are hints of the experience and wisdom that are accumulated over stages of our lives.
We are walking histories containers of personal experiences that have to be appreciated from first hand. I remember Hanoi Jane when it happened. I remember when Nixon finally ended the war in Vietnam after it went on for eleven years. Can you imagine the draft going on for eleven years.
No wonder she protested..it wasn't a voluntary service, it was mandatory. Many young guys moved, rather escaped to Canada fleeing a war they didn't believe it.
It was a war for profit just like this war in Iraq is. Vietnam was a real money maker for big businesses. I remember the Communism threat. I remember fall out shelters. I remember the Cuban missiles crisis when the general of Russia and America were both very welling to show their might and had their feathers all ruffled determined to go to war. Kennedy called it off. The generals were very angry at JFK. Maybe that's why he died. They wanted to go to Vietnam next. Kennedy was opposed to going to Vietnam. Goodbye JFK. War a nasty business and that is mainly the reason behind it..business and profits.
It's sad isn't it. And women are bitches who speak out so the men and the media and even woman chimed in and listened to their husbands..not wanting to appeared anti-feminine.
