On this anniversary of Woodstock, I have read a few memories of this
supposedly blessed event. I admit the music musta been good but it
also seems to me that everybody there was nothing more than a
spoiled
rich kid whose daddy paid for the tickets and transportation.
ALL the "hippies" I ever knew were like that, rich daddies who kept
them in money so they could preach peace and love. The rest of us
poorer kids worked to support their lazy asses.
I'm sorry, how is it that you worked to support their lazy asses?
You know little to nothing of hippies, obviously.
Froggy is just prepping for his upcoming trip to Jacksonville, where
he
can protest along with his fellow birthers-teabaggers-health care
reform
avoiders.
A lot of these hippies were kids of college profs here in Tallahassee
and I was saving to pay for tuition to pay their daddies salaries. In
later years, these same hippie parasites eventually became govt
workers and often are now upper managers with far greater than average
salaries.
If you were paying in-state tuition FSU during the hippie era, you could
have earned more than enough for tuition, room, board and books by
selling donuts in the dorms.
Are you complaining because your so-called hippies got jobs?
Bull crap. I paid instate tuition in Calif, which had one of the cheaper
state tuitions. $!25 a semester plus books. A good job paided about
$120 a week. Working in a service station, etc was about $75 a week.
And you would have been working part time most likely.
Some of us were smarter than you, Bilious, and were able to earn a bit
more.
I was lots smarter than you. I went to school part time and made more than
the professors. But the average student did not make that much. 1968 the
median family wage was $8600. $9600 in major metropolitan areas Only 14.7%
made more than $15k.
