33. Well, I'm an old Hippie relic, too....

and, I'm very proud of it!

I think the mentality of which you speak is the "Dead-Head sticker on the Cadillac" one. "i'm afraid the counter-cultural lifestyle quickly disappeared into a haze of materialism and the politics were not too deeply held by most even back then............ many seem to see it as a natural maturing process. what a bunch of crap that is ..." -- yes, indeed!

And, as far as, "'keep me out of the draft' is transitory and not 'of the soul.'" I remember the days when there were absolutely consciencious objectors to war, it was tough for them then, but can you imagine what they'd be called today?

The world has changed, and we along with it, but I still know a corporatist shill when I see one, and I know that can't be a good thing for this Party or this Country.
