The way to peace is through love and tolerance. Loving means accepting others as they are, giving them freedom to express themselves and not judging them based on appearances well that's a lie what about returning soldiers from nam, you hippies spit on them, you disrespected the police

"Tune in, turn on, and drop out." "Do your own thing, wherever you have to do it and whenever you want. Drop out. Leave society as you have known it. Leave it utterly. Blow the mind of every straight person you can reach. Turn them on." Pretty much all of you sold out ... Jerry Garcia even sold ties: bing.com

>> >Peace, love, all people are equal,etc, etc. Before I grew up I was part of that culture. I never once heard anyone at that time say anything like, "Dick Cheney is slime. They should have saved that heart for someone who deserved it" or, as someone posted to me last week, "I hope someone shoots him" or "I wish the old codger would keel over soon." What I remember from that time was, "Live and Let Live." I remember not liking the Vietnam war; but I also remember disgust toward liberals LBJ and McNamara -- not the "Democrats can do no wrong" attitude of today. There was a bit more objectivity. And I certainly don't think we would have embraced Obama's corporatism, greed, secrecy and the fact that he has literally sold out to various industries. I don't think we would have endorsed the wholesale forking over of taxpayer money to consolidate his political power and all but guarantee he'll move from mere millionaire status to billionaire status during his lifetime. Liberalism today is a hate-filled, mean-spirited business. One I wouldn't have participated in then and sure as hell wouldn't now.
