I didn't do it to you kid. I tried to stop it. I honestly didn't think I would still be waging the same battles in my 60's that I waged i the 60's and frankly, I'm getting tired. It's your turn.
To quote the Berkly barb, "Don't like the news? Go out and make your own." We did.
Edited to add; The more I think about this, the more it pisses me off. We were beaten, billy clubed, maced and teargassed. We were told to get the fuck out of the country. "Love it or leave it" we were told. We were drafted into a conscription army against our will. I saw too many people either die or come back from Vietnam so fucked up that they could not function in normal scociety to count. One of my brothers is still so fucked up from that war that to this day, he lives in the jungles of Hawaii.
It's your turn kid. Let's see if you can do any better than we did. Stop whining and take it to the streets. So far, I don't see you there. I still go to protests, Occupy, etc. Where the fuck are you? Playing video games.
