lame they used music recorded by session players instead of actual music from the era. total misrepresentation of 1968 in that respect.

To all of you who are so indignant about the response of the authorities go try this crap in Syria, Egypt, Yemen or Lybia FORTY YEAS LATER and you would be shot! so, quit whining. You live in the greatest nation on earth in terms of personal liberty and human rights!

@universallance That "old man" is Robert Bork and he has more brains in his left foot than you or anyone like you will ever have. Just because you are too stupid to understand what he is talking about doesn't mean hes full of crap. Additionally, where did you EVER learn or hear that the American revolution or the Declaration of Independence had ANYTHING to do with utopianism? Do some reading about the Bolsheviks, and Lenin etc. If you are capable you might learn something about what he meant.

has anyone noticed that the media tends to sensationalize things, they always seem to focus on the most radical element's of any social or political movement in order to marginalize what people are trying to say.

One good thing the hippies did, invent personal computers.
