Emmett Tyrrell, Jr.'s The Hippies' Last Hurrah /p> p>Mr. Tyrrell Jr. posits in his post, "The Hippies' Last Hurrah," that "As I say, there is something familiar in the air this spring." Yes, there is. How familiar it is to hear his YAF petite bourgeois dismissal of a world gone mad or at least left. As uncomfortable as it may be Jr., the hippies won this debate a long time ago, in the '60s. It's no surprise that your aging side of the aisle has gotten us into the same old mess your godfathers did before. What has changed is that the left is the mainstream. Furthermore, we don't revere these putative leaders you have thrown up at us. We are taking care of business ourselves. Even Time magazine could see that. So, when you wake up from your fantasy America, turn on your computer and pass the whole wheat bread. br> -- Brad Parker br> Valley Democrats United, President br> Progressive Democrats of Los Angeles, Vice President br> Progressive Caucus of the CDP, Officer at Large
