If 67 was the 'Summer of Love', what is 2007 the Summer of?
Edited on Tue Jun-26-07 06:53 AM by Philosoraptor
The summer of fear? The summer of hate? The summer of dick?

We've come a long way in fourty years baby.

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.

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.

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.

Does that make me a man of the times or something?

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 . . .

22. The Summer of Sicko
Not just MM's great movie, but the summer US citizens became sick of
lies, deceit, unbridled arrogance of George/Dic-k asserting they are accountable
to no one.

We can hope, can't we?

24. In '67 we thought that anything was possible. It's just the reverse now.
Many of us thought we could actually overthrow the system. Now, people are cowed by the system.

32. Yawn....I'm sick of it already.
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.

38. The Summer of "Meet the Supremes" .... your worst nightmare comes to life
The new Roberts Court will be here until you're dead and your grandkids have grandkids.

You (rhetorical, not the OP) know who to thank for this, right?
