Die Boomers! Die!
My son has a bias against hippies. This surprises me. My perception of hippies is basically neutral - if anything I'm way more in favor of that life style rather than the Right Wing group led by the Karl Rove's, Dick Cheney's, and Grover Norquist's of the world.
It turns out that in part - his opinion about hippies was formed by a season 9 South Park episode - Die Hippie, Die - I have to admit it was pretty funny. South Park does a great job of making fun of just about everything.
As I watch all of my boomer friends rushing to retirement, expecting to be supported in the styles they've become accustomed to - the phrase "die boomers, die" comes to mind. If I were a young person - for example my adult children's ages - I'd be looking at the cost of that and be looking at some cheaper alternatives. Solyent Green anyone?
