What someone did 30 years ago often has ZERO bearing on what they do now - witness the multitudes of hippies turned yuppies.

Two points - one good, one not:
1 - the emphasis on 30 (and even 40) years ago was drug into this campaign by the guy who served in Vietnam (he accepted the nomination with a salute) and by repeated questioning of Bush's National Guard service. The Democrats and the media wing of their party have tried to say that Vietnam service qualifies Kerry for office, even though the record of his years in the Senate is pretty much blank.
2 - Some hippies did turn yuppie, but many more never left the campus. They now are the socialists and lefties who are the instructors and professors, dominating academia. They live the good life, and hate yuppies.
