Do we need another Woodstock Generation? (legal, Canada, politicians, terrorists)

[checking out]

The title says it all.

Any thoughts?

No. But maybe we need another Deserters-to-Canada generation.

Sure we do....cause the last bunch did so well.


Wait...why is the end result of the California Free Love economy not working?
Hmmmmmmmmmmmm.....maybe that concert really didn't fix anything. As a matter of fact.... did ANY of that stuff work?????
But HEY....Let's try again because it sounds so politically correct.

Or do we need another 1950s generation?

Yes of course we do. Better yet we should have never lost the first one.

Did you think of this post because of the Woodstock Generation on TV tonight?

They sure were great times. I would give up everything I own to go back to 1969. Other then the stress of the damn war in Vietnam life was so wonderful. Free love, free LSD, free food, free shelter. Everyone shared and no one depended on this usless wasteful good for nothing govt. We hated the pigs more then a mongoose hates a boa constrictor. Still do.

I have not changed much. I still hate the politicians and the pigs with badges or domestic terrorists as they are known now. I have not cut my hair since 1967 and I still play the music of my time with other professional musicians. Both of us still wear a gold peace sign around our necks every day of our lives. The only thing I dont do is wear bell bottoms but we both wear Hippy clothing.

No, we don't.

Honestly, what constructive or culturally positive things resulted from Woodstock? I know there was lots of cool music & stuff, but beyond that?

Anything?

You can't really answer that unless you want to get into gross over-generalizations. There is a great deal of probablems that happened with people of the generation, and a great deal of good things...lumping every individual of that generation into one category is silly.

As much fun as it would be, lets look at what the woodstock gen has done for me lately.

Not that much, and the changes they promised aren't here. And even though most of them smoked pot, most don't support legalization.

I would chide various members of that generation for reshaping our financial markets into well-monied gambling houses prone to arrogate taxpayer money. Thanks for that, Boomers. Thanks for giving America the CDO-squared and then selling those things to one another until the system crashed.
