I met that guy with the airplanes on his shoulders at a number of demos in the 60s.

That would have General Waste More Land.

The Jerry Garcia quote reminds of a recent Mencius Moldbug post ( http://unqualified-reservations.blogspot.com/2009/09/gentle-introduction-to-unqualified.html )

I tried (and failed) to excerpt from it but it's basically recommending passivism in the culture war to the right - noting that progressivism feeds on opposition and imagined oppression. Absent an opponent the culture war from the left ceases to exist...

I can't say I always agree with (or understand) Moldbug but I'm pretty sure there's no one else like him. It's worth a read if you've got 30 minutes...

Was there a picture of the Century City demo in the video? Yes there was. I was there. I remember meeting a communist chick in the park before the demo and she was telling me you had to fight the man. I told her that she was just going to get beat.

Next day I saw a picture of her in the paper (LA Times I think) getting her skull cracked by police.

I was on the bridge shown at the end. The vibes were getting very bad. Me and my posse left before the head cracking started.

It all seems so naive now. The communists killed 100,000 after the war was over and another 250,000 died at sea trying to escape the murders.

I second the recommendation of Moldbug, he is without a doubt one of the most thought-provoking bloggers there is.

I just want to say, I love the flag.

I am so stealing that (not the actual pic, but the design), sorry.

That must make so many, very diverse, heads pop with OUTRAGE!!!!!!
