corner of Katella and St. College in Anaheim, CA

Know that corner well because I have lived it this area my whole life

I remember 68 and what the times were like all to well...

I was 12 at the time and even then was a Conservative and I remember well how the "love children" were

That splitter might well have been my phyco hippie 20 year old cousin... he was just that out there at the time and would be his norm back then(and was the area he ran in)

I was riding with him in a car one night during the same time frame when all he could talk about was getting his guns (he was already well armed for the revolution) and "go kill some pigs" and he was stone cold serious

Funny thing is the same hippie cousin of mine went the typical route, drugs, alcoholic, a little jail time..then when he hit bottom in the mid 70,s went to AA, got born again, became a deacon in his church, got marry had kids built a career...

Now he's a hard core Conservative Republican... and will tell anyone what a useless piece of crap he and his hippie love children friends where at that time

It is very likely that those born after 1962 or so have no idea how vile, arrogant,righteous, bullying, filthy, drug abusing and left-wing the anti-war "hippie" crowd of the 1960's was. These are types who screamed "my civil rights are being violated" at every opportunity, but make no mistake that if they had been in charge, everybody who disagreed with them would have ended up with a bullet in the head. Oh yes, I forgot the adjective "lawyerlike". Anything they did could be justified. There were millions of them. Where did they all go? Ever ask yourself that? They are mostly in their 50's now. You see them every day but probably don't realize it. My experience is that they make good money, dress well, live well in the 'burbs, and send their kids to good schools. Many became teachers or professors, both to escape military service and to infect the young with their natural born "wisdom", thus ensuring someone would always be around to legitimatize their actions. The farthest they will go in mentioning their past, in public, is saying, "I was against the war". You don't hear much about any organizations for them, or reunions, but every four years they tend to do one thing in common that allows them to consciously or subconsciously justify and legitimatize their past - they vote for the Democratic presidential nominee.
