They're getting old, sir, and beginning to regret they never did much with their lives. I read the original thread, and the predominant subconscious theme is depression because they couldn't play all the time, and now that they're getting old and looking back, subconsciously they appear to understand they lived essentially useless lives.

If they knew anything about God, well, that would alleviate these regrets--God forgives all--but they don't know anything about God.

Without a doubt, and the realization that they tried - and failed - twice to change this great country (although their kind did a lot of damage during the dark years of 1993-2000) must be a huge burden. Imagine suddenly awakening to the realization that no one wants what you are preaching.
It's sad, really, because I know quite a few left over hippies that could have amounted to something if they had just applied themselves. Unfortunately many of them still subscribe to the old theory that "Dope will get you through times of no money better than money will get you through times of no dope".
