Quote of the Day: Observation on H. S. Thompson

"In [a New York] Times Magazine article, published in 1967 shortly before the "Summer of Love" and entitled The Hashbury is the Capital of the Hippies, Thompson wrote in-depth about the hippies of San Francisco, deriding a culture that began to lack the political convictions of the New Left and the artistic core of the Beats, instead becoming overrun with newcomers lacking any purpose other than obtaining drugs.

-from wikipedia's article on him.

sounds so familiar, as if this same social disease - apolitical, creatively lacking, drug-laden youth brigade - carries on today, and continuously, throughout all the ages since of western culture.
