Joker: Old Boomer Hippies Love Recall

Joker RE: The Young & The Angry: So this is what you get from the baby boomer generation and the summer of love crowd after 40 years! What a bunch of selfish, self-important, jerks who only care about themselves! I guess all that free love, peace and harmony talk was just a bunch of hot air designed to impress members of the opposite sex. John Lennon would be releasing a new song today if he was still alive called, “Imagine you had my money. It’s not hard if you try. Imagine a world where I have all the possessions and I am going to watch you cry. Imagine I am richer. It’s not hard too do.I got mine, so screw all of you.”

Question: Do you think the young, idealistic Boomers of the Summer of Love '60s now are angry old codgers who have gotten theirs and now support recalling Mayor Bloem & the City Council?
