50 years ago, I was committing insurrection at the Capitol (51, actually) along with 500 000 other overprivileged cathedral wannabe applicants. My peers who had not achieved draft class II-S status were far, far away. At 5:30 AM I was warming by a fire set in a 55 gallon oil drum. Standing next to me was Benjamin Spock…
50 years ago, I was committing insurrection at the Capitol (51, actually) along with 500 000 other overprivileged cathedral wannabe applicants. My peers who had not achieved draft class II-S status were far, far away. At 5:30 AM I was warming by a fire set in a 55 gallon oil drum. Standing next to me was Benjamin Spock (yes, HIM). He was BEAMING. "These are my children", he said.
Well, I eventually took up work in the now shrinking reality-based sector, and said goodbye to all that.
From time to time over the decades, I have run into one of these idiots. I don't know who coined the term "silver ponytails", but you catch my drift. Some of them have children and even GRANDCHILDREN living out the hippie fantasy - drug addicts, STD patients - most of them don't have Ayers-scale trust funds.
But now, I turn around, and what do I see - they have taken over the STATE.
But now, as then, there is a hidden hand. When I really started to go off the deep end in 1969, I was fortunate to have a meetup with some local and national leaders of "the movement". Peace? Love? Fuggedabout it.
They were the people who supported the invasion of Czechoslovakia. They were Maoists. They were pretty good at shapeshifting then, and I'm sure the people running this coup are still pretty good at it.
Everything old is new again in the Biden Spring. The NPR subscribers are weeping tears of joy.
This is quite good.
