Gee, Starving, you really think my long hair in the Sixties was part of the end of civilization?
Oh! You mean guys with long hair. Now that makes more sense!
I must admit that my generation invented vulgarity. My mother slapped the hell out of me for saying “good grief” in the mid-Fifties. She sure had her priorities straight. Words were dirtier than child abuse.
BTW, Starving Artist is indeed an artist.
I saw this story today about the dog shoplifting (in Utah, no less) and thought, SA is right! Look what permissiveness has brought us to!
Then Mrs. J. told a story about a dog her familly had in the '50s that was caught pilfering from a box of dog candy in a variety store.
The dog was probably an Adlai Stevenson supporter.
Actually, as a non-repentant hippy type weirdo, I find SA’s accusations refreshing and flattering. We destroyed the 50’s culture of America? Cool! Needed it. Big time, downtown.
When the revolution comes, Ron Howard will be the first against the wall!

It’s like every dipshit out there who wishes the world could go back to being some sort of Monarchial Feudal Nirvana…which it might be, as long as you weren’t part of the 99.99% on the bottom of that pyramid.
Maybe we’ll be lucky and at me point SA will have an accident with a melanin injection, a gender swap, and a time machine.

And there’s the problem…somehow NOBODY who has these fantasies ever realizes that the great probability is that they’d be a serf just like most of the rest of us.
Well, that might be a problem for YOU, but I’m obviously kingly material. It’s basic physik, man, the cream always rises to the top.

Other stuff floats, too… 
Let’s not weaken that word with overuse. Actual fascists are rarer than Communists. Not even Franco nor Pinochet were fascists.
Probably the same ones who just luuurved Forrest Gump.
I think you meant to say . . .
I’d also like to hear some more about them “education revisionists.” If SA means the likes of James Leowen, the more we have of them the better.
Plan 9 From Outer Space is indeed a motion picture.
Manos may make for a better analogy…
Hambrientos! The Starving of Art.

Is that one of those modernistical things I’d have to ask my son to explain to me? 'Cause I won’t do it!
I cannot in good conscience suggest that you actually watch the thing in question, at least not in its unadulterated form. There IS a sanity-saving version, however, courtesy of the Best Brains.
To be fair, for a Republican white man the world probably was better 50 years ago, so his stance is perfectly rational. He’s blaming liberalism for changing that status quo, which is exactly what it did. Most conservatives have managed to adjust, some haven’t and probably never will.
No, I’d rather not.
I’m still waiting for Matthew and Gunnar to come out of the closet. (Although I confess to still liking “Nelson”, if only because of preteen memories) ducks
Perhaps, though, Starving Artist should listen to Billy Joel’s “We Didn’t Start the Fire” if he wants to explore nostalgia a wee better?
