Oh stop it III, now you just sound like a douche.
Anything of substance to contribute? You're needlessly ranting.
I've got my opinion, you've got yours.
So cut it out and play nice.
And don't just reply to me, reply to the board next time.

Ranting against "the hippies" was tiresome in the mid-70s and hasn't

is as good as "Forever Changes" is seriously misguided, anyway.
