Wanting government out of our lives was the impetus behind the hippie movement of the 60s. Ain’t it funny that so many of those free souls now believe in government controlling everything cradle to grave?

I have long thought it puzzling that those who were hippies and leftists of the 60s wanted government out of their lives, yet now they embrace total government control.

They only wanted government out of their lives when they were deathly afraid of getting boo-boos in Vietnam. Now they want government to protect them from life in general.
