Donald Sutherland: 'I want Hunger Games to stir up a revolution'

[Scootaloo]

83. I prefer to call it "perspective"

I'm one of those DU'ers who doesn't think the boomers are divine beings who need my constant praise. Since most DU'ers - just like most everything else - are boomers, there tends to be a lot of inane rambling about how fucking magnificent they are.

Vietnam kept going until someone won it. Nixon marched into office. Unions began their slow grinding death. And now because of the indolence of people who at first thought they could change the world with a wa-wa pedal and nowadays seek to strangle any forward movement that doesn't immediately fill the front ends of ther shit-chutes, we have to revisit shit from the nineteen tens.

Do you know what a fucking pain in the ass it is to come to Democratic Underground, of all the goddamn places, and get stuck explaining the basics of liberalism to people who very honestly don't give a shit and never will? Many of whom praise themselves for being "old hippies"?
