Young people believed that they could change the world for the better.

These aren't the exact lines but here goes:

Officer Barbrady: "Eric you can't lock up 67 people in your basement."

Eric Cartman: "They are not people, they are hippies."

"Hippies' proud legacy:"

1. Children on drugs.

2. Schools transformed into indoctrination pens.

3. Proliferation for a variety of filthy STD's

4. The Clintons

5. Creeping socialism

Hell, there isn't enough time to list them all.
