There was some leftist fantasy movie of that era which centered around a rock group known as Max Storm and the Troopers who were using a slogan "14 or fight" to expand the franchise to include all 14 and older and particularly the gummint edjumacated and brainlaundered liberals among them to speed the transfer of power to their adored celebrities. They got the Senate to vote a constitutional amendment by pouring LSD into the DC water system and physically holding up the arms of tripping Senators to approve their amendment. It has always been a fantasy of the left ever since that the necessary revolution will consist of attending entertaining rock concerts, smoking dope, copping cheap feels and yelling and screaming that will show THEM (us) who is REALLY the boss from now on!!!!
Blather and pretentions indeed. I was in my 30s then and remember their oh-so-noble pretentions and their blather "Don't trust anyone over 30" and their anti-war protests. They tended to quiet down when college students were no longer drafted and got REAL quiet when they hit 30.
I was in programming school in '67 and we had a bunch of "free spirits" who railed against "the establishment". They wore the "individualistic" uniform - sandals, shorts and beard. Came graduation day and we had to look for a job, they showed up clean shaven and wearing suits - and got pist when you pointed out their hypocrisy when Reality stared them in the face.
