5. '67 Was Also Another Long Hot Summer

Newark, Detroit, Milwaukee...1967 sure wasn't the summer of love in those towns.

Today, people would rather phone-in a protest or couldn't be bothered or are too busy. Sadly in '67 many of us were the naive ones...we thought we could change a world and a country that didn't want change.

[Philosoraptor]

10. The summer of crack and meth.

LSD frees your mind, meth and crack just kill you slowly. San Francisco gets all the good press.

[Clark2008]

18. Well, in that aspect, history is repeating itself around here.

Very little rain, temperatures are scorching and it's just this week summer.

There's no "global warming" by (hot) ass.

[frogcycle]

19. Summer of Regaining Consciousness -

a tad too late?

[The Stranger]

21. Shame.

The intelligentsia are imprisoned in a nation run by relgious fanatics and run-of-the-mill imbeciles, meanwhile, the Left still searches in vain for leadership and a voice, any voice.

And the war crimes, torture, mass murder, secrecy, hatred, xenophobia continue . . .

[mnhtnbb]

22. The Summer of Sicko

Not just MM's great movie, but the summer US citizens became sick of

We can hope, can't we?

[NewYorkerfromMass]

Can't we ever get over the damn 60s. Sure I went through it as a kid and wanted to be older then but all those wishes and dreams are just that and never amounted to anything. It was just summer vacation. Like the Civil War, we'll just keep reliving it over and over again.
