LIFE -- 1969? A galaxy far, far away?

April @aecasey gave me the get pushed challenge of shooting opposites. When I saw this January 1969 Life magazine with cover referring to the inauguration of Richard Nixon and the title Rhetoric meets Reality, I knew I had to lay down the $1 for it.

Apologies to any of you who are solid Trump supporters, but the "Trump vs Intelligence" I'm reading on more than one level. I do honestly hope he can conquer the inflated ego and very thin skin and become a decent president, but I personally am not holding my breath.
@aecasey oops - forgot to tag you. Perhaps not really opposites here, but I couldn't resist

Democracy is not a spectator activity and is rather ugly at times, we are in for a bumpy ride but ride we will. Great find.

Wonderful response to the challenge!

I like the idea of incorporating outerspace. It's hard to say whether now could be the galxay far far away that we never thought we would reach. (or was that far-off galaxy the past? Great image.
