The stench of hippies hovers over the land

  Really, now, this is appearing to be more and more like the 60s. The media has taken a liking to the comparison, and the stench of hippies is once again rising from state capitols around the country. 
  Exultant from their "winning" space on the floors, defiling memorials, stinking up the halls,taping up signs with all manner of foul language and narrow viewpoints, the hippies and their acolytes are refusing to peacefully leave the capitol building in Wisconsin so that it can be fumigated, debugged, unstenched, swept up and scrubbed.
  Yeah, just like the old days.
  While the tea partiers left immaculate grounds wherever they "demonstrated," these people and their kind leave trash, just like the old days.
  They've even hauled out their old sorry ass musicians to lift their sorry ass spirits as they cry that they shall overcome. 
  Overcome.....
  Having to pay for their health insurance.
  Having to pay for their own pensions.
  Mike Tobin says he sees "hate in their eyes." The Daily Caller:

“And the sickest thing is many go to the University of Wisconsin there or are affiliated as teachers or some other positions with the university, supposedly a liberal bastion committed to the Bill of Rights and the United States,” Rivera said. “And yet, they are using bullying tactics on the one hand and then this gross interruptions of a reporter trying to do his job.”

  They even have a handout from the old days to explain how to resist leaving the building. Note that the handout is the "updated" version.
  It's time we realize that part of what's happening is the attempting hijacking back to the days of the war when people had a raison d'etre, a drive, and a purpose in life. 
  This appeals not only to the baby boomers (well, those boomers who haven't been mugged), and academia, but also to a sector of today's youth who have long pined for something greater than, say, a new iPhone. (Certainly not greater than oneself, because that is surely what this mess is about anyway...me, me, me.)
  For years, a select group of youths have identified with the days of rock n' roll; they dress, talk and act retro. 
  So individualistic, you know.
  The truth is they are exhibiting exactly what the hippies did in the sixties. 
  They're all the same.
  There's no individualism.
  They're all alike.
