I Rest My Case

From Matt Lundberg, on Thu, 27 Mar 1997 07:02:39 GMT (in response to: Hippies, War Protesters and "baby killers")

Well the rest of you hippies were too busy transmitting diseases through unprotected sex and smoking dope and blaming your mother and fathers for you being all screwed up. The Vietnam War protests became just an excuse for it. Granted, some of the veterans did return home and decided to vent their frustrations in that way. But thats not a good excuse. Don't get me wrong, I would have been against the war myself. However, had these same hippies cleaned themselves up and protested in a way that wouldn't make people think that they were just scumbags; the war probably would have ended. Instead of sitting in circles smoking dope and chanting "Give peace a chance" they should have went to OUR government and simply voted those people out of office. NEVER FORGET
