Very true. I live in the coast range now. Up in the sticks. But born and raised in the bluest of blue Eugene. Grew up surrounded by hippie culture which I see has now turned out to be a fake. Once all those hippies were faced with something scary in their older age they bowed to the govt. quicker than one could imagine.

All my old hippie friends instantly rolled up their sleeves. I was shocked!

And it's not just the injections. It's *everything*! For instance, what happened to the anti-war movement? How come suddenly it's okay for corporations to tell the government what to do? How come my generation developed a trust in government when the motto of the late '60s and all of the '70s was "don't trust The Man"?

Bc… they conformed then and they conform now. The perks, socially, lead by the nose ring.

As one of that eminently culpable generation of the MEs, who complained bitterly about their parents & bought into the mass counterculture psyops, I am disgusted. Luckily, I was a lousy student and a goof. Saved me til I gained some maturity & learned how to learn. God spared me consequences of some really stupid mistakes. Saved me Period. In His good time, in His good hands.

May he Bless us, every one.

I wasn't surprised at that. I know of one who's very smart but has no wisdom at all. She stood in line for 2 hours on a cold February day to get her shot as soon as it was approved for her.

Yup fake, they were just following the crowd and the “in”, trendy thing, and are doing the same now.

And the fake feminists, like Hillary, who while sneering at the country song "Stand By Your Man," did exactly that for her entire married life and who are now selling out young women who don't want to be exposed to men in locker rooms, bathrooms, or to compete against them on sports teams. And the fake 'protectors of children' like Hillary, who are all silent, at best, in the face of child sex trafficking.

Very good point. I grew up in SW Portland and went to Eugene for college and taught there for 3 years. Lots of hippies were still around in the mid-seventies, they’re still there like you say. Happy for the government dole.
