There's a spirt of renewal that's key to the American character, as obvious in our youth today as in any other generation. The difference now is that those meant to be the caretaker of that spirt, to protect our right to express it, are serving the very forces that suppress it.

I see this on university campuses all the time. The suffocation of ideas and the mandatory conformity is truly depressing

I heard some college kids talk about the "mistakes" made by the "hippie generation," and I said, "Like what, that we weren't corporate whores?"

Did it feel that way in “The ‘60s”? I imagine that it was like they then, too.

No! With Martin and Bobby and McCarthy and so many others, it felt like there were those in an older generation fighting for us! It's why the assassinations were so devastating.

Correct. The fact that so many in the Lefter side of things are offensively insistent that the way to fix that is to vote-in a greater number of obedient colleagues for those treacherous caretakers is the saddest stinking thing I've ever seen.

True, so many of our youth are becoming despotic suppressive leftists and it's a problem.
