Who would have thought the anarchy list would have an old fuddy-duddy 
reactionary on it.

"Your" long hair was nothing more than a way to freak out your parents and 
their contemporaries.  I'm sure the adults of that era just "knew" that all 
long hairs were thieves, shop lifters, terrorists, and all around immoral 
destroyers civilized society.

"Symbolic of something more respectable"...?????  Spare me.  Many of y'all 
were just too damn lazy to do anything with your hair.

Stop living in the past.  Learn to enjoy the present or you will end up a 
lonely and bitter old man.
