Yes we do because it sure beats this baggy pants hip-hop nonsense going on these days. And what ever happened to America? they're on camera puffing away, getting a buzz, having a good time,,,,,,I'm suprised the police-state Nazis of today haven't identified all of em and brought charges against them 40 years later.
Perhaps we could have used more protests during the Bush/Cheney years.
I was out there, and was a bit surprised at how few young people were.
All of the outrage was on the internet, which only does so much good.
Woodstock was supposedly about feelin' the love, and these days our nation seems just as divided as it was in 1969.
We've become awfully consumerist, but maybe that's changing.
The younger generation does not need to emulate anyone.
They can look to the past but they need to take charge in their own way.

If we could have another Woodstock generation without the LSD, heroin, violence and Charlie Manson, I would be all for it. I am all for revolution as long as it is not harmful to humans and other living things. But when you talk about destruction, you can count me out!
Yeh we do, back then folks were kinder, more open minded and giving the dreams died as we aged and lost our sense of humor and of "rightness" I came of age back in 1969 and sure I missed making a diffrence to the world but I did make it to my kids and grandkids ..and as a boomer thats something to be proud of
I burned my bra, but it didnt stop the war, I did the die ins and was carted off to jail many times, I sang and danced with love& care for my fellow man and the politicans seemed to overshadow my efforts with thier "isms" and then I prayed and found that wasnt enough to save my generation as we aged and were silenced by many vested in power folks .. and as my voice grew softer I looked around to see who still sang and laughed with the richness of life and relized that we had failed because oiur children just didnt care ... they had been brainwashed by the "me-ness" of it all.......

But politicians are not human and therefore I would not mind seeing them destruct themselves........before they destruct us all.
Most every American who is not a sucker and gullable is for a revolution. But we have no time to protest like we did in 69. We are too busy working 2 jobs just trying to pay the bills.....and failing. This corrupt, crooked, criminal govt has a foot on our necks and we cant even fight back. And the pigs enforce these human rights violations against us peasants. Pizz on them all.
