Hippies in Recovery

What last hurrah? Many write back. Also: Gilmore's man. What Rudy gaffe? Harry's slippage. Feeling very much alone. Lousy chicken. Plus more.

br> DSCC of the CDP, Delegate, 42nd AD br> CDP, Voter Services Committee /p> p> Yes, by all means talk about illicit drugs, promiscuous sex and throw in rock while you are on a roll. Just don't mention the fact that you were on the wrong side of history on civil rights, equal rights, the Vietnam war (those domino's never did fall like you claimed they would if we pulled out) and the environmental movement and still are. The main failure of the boomer generation continues to be YOU! We let self-gratification morph into a profit at-all-costs and damn the social consequences. But thanks to W's complete incompetence we might get that fixed too. Thanks for tying your ships to that dead weight. Hope you enjoyed the freebies while they were handed out. Neo-cons are not just dead in the water, they are approaching the bottom of the ocean. History has passed you by again. br> -- Joseph E. Conroy /p> p> Tyrrell is reasonably clever. He acts like he is making a case for the demise of both the 60's left and right. However, it is mainly a list of the left, with unpleasant emotional phrases to describe them. He says how bad the Clinton years were without giving any facts. However, he doesn't mention habeas corpus. He doesn't mention the breaking of international law He doesn't mention how Cheney and W broke domestic law and tried to subvert the judicial system. He doesn't mention how we have lost another war (ask Petraeus). And he ignores that we have no international respect left. He does mention Russ Limbaugh. If there is any intellectual honesty in the article, I don't see it. br> -- Alan Shapiro /p> p> Flop. Flop. Is that the thrashing of a fish on its last breath on the deck? Nope, it is Mr. Tyrrell, Jr. expending his last blasts of vindictiveness towards "hippies." Surprise -- some of us are cleverly disguised as annuity millionaires these days. We cut our hair, shower, shave, advise our children and grandchildren against health risks of indiscriminate sex and -- teach them to respect and defend the concepts of a constitutional democracy. We mix it up right alongside you and your cronies. You just don't notice. Remember the old saying: "Give them enough rope to hang themselves"? Um ... I think there is enough rope now. Cheney and Bush brought in a whole motherlode -- not the hemp you smoke, rather, the hemp you hang a political party with. See you at the town square. br> -- Karin McKenna /p>
