"Radicalized, the flower children morphed into lefty loonies who now masquerade as social progressives."

Bingo! And there are more and more living in the park right outside my window. "GET A JOB," I feel like screaming.

I am 58 and grew up in Georgia. I was in college from 66-72 (B.A and J.D.) during the so called hippie years. At UGA there were very few hippies. There were demonstrations after the Kent State riots and shooing of the students there, but the protesters were in the minority. Most students were in complete disdain of the smelly longhairs.

I am always offended when I see TV shows or movies that give the appearance that everyone during the 60s was smoking dope, protesting the war, and going to some kind of woodstock. That may have been more common in California, but not in the South.
