Outlaw or American Patriot?

"Five years in a federal penitentiary!" Me? Who had been altar-boy, young monk, and Peacenik? Yeah, me, now classified as "violent felon" for destroying 1-A draft files during Vietnam era. Why did I do it? Young and crazy, sure. Heartfelt follower of the peacemaker, Jesus, yup. Overwhelmed by the deaths of close friends, national hero MLK, even a president and his brother...endless war, early veterans with PTSD asking me, "What are you going to do?" How to stop a war? All that I knew was that violence always fails, and nonviolence always gets you thrown in jail! Hippie Sixties? LSD and Free Sex. Forget that! Souls crushed. Authority betraying its patriotic sons and daughter. It ain't an easy ride but come along with me through this memoir of my trial and the tribulations of the times. Seize the day! Resist!
