3. Things were way better then! Or, at least, they seemed better!

I think the world would have been a better place if the hippies had prevailed.

4. Someday in the future..Hippies will be heroes!!!!!!!!

5. Far Over !

I'd never heard the lyrics so clearly before.

Totally far over, maybe even out of sight !

[143tbone]

6. No, you mean "far out." n/t

[SpiralHawk]

10. Nah. I know what I mean. Far over!

[143tbone]

15. Oh, okay, Sorry. Just never heard that expression. Even during the sixties.

[vi5]

7. God, I fucking hope not.

It's time to fucking move on. It's not the 60's anymore and the game has changed so it's time to stop sitting around and using the same tactics or the same methods and waiting for some big revolution that's not going to happen and it's time to stop dwelling on that time period. That generation gave us just as many of the reprehensible shitheads who have caused us to be in the situation we're in now as it did any genuine revolutionaries.

Yes, cue the inevitable hippie whining about how great it was and how nobody appreciates what they accomplished.

8. Damn, who shit in your Wheaties today?

Is this type of vitriol really called for in this post? It seems to me that somebody was just trying to share a warm fuzzy from the past. Sorry you can't appreciate the sentiment.

12. LOL! I have to remember that line!!

[SpiralHawk]

11. From time immemorial, the Philistine soul has failed to grok poetry

This tragic shortcoming the whole of the Cosmos laments.

14. "Meet the new boss / Same as the old boss"

I agree with you, and so does Pete Townshend, apparently.
