In reply to the discussion: My new neighbor is very clever. [View all]99th_Monkey
(19,326 posts)40. I saw some of that during the 60s "hippy" phenomenon
huge numbers of "straight" people could not stand to watch
Hippies having so damned much fun, so they just HAD to
come check it out, and many stayed.
Occupy was starting to feel that way too, which clearly
scared the shit out of the 1%, so they are having their hired
goons in blue (as usual) to put an end to it no matter how
ugly it looked or how brutally people were treated by cops.

That reminds me of a lovely story about my dad. He was 50 yrs old retired from the military.
