Okay for Me, but Not for Thee
Typifying the attitude of today's liberal, former hippies are not thrilled at the idea of their property values declining in the Haight-Ashbury neighborhood of San Francisco due to loitering street punk drug addicts and panhandlers, as noted in this LA Times article from last week pointed out by Michelle Malkin.
I had to laugh at this bit:
John Grima, a program director at the Haight Ashbury Free Clinic, founded in the 1960s, says his agency provides "nonjudgmental" services for homeless youths. "Still, there's this assumption of a free ride," he said.
Grima said a teen asked him for change on Haight Street. Grima offered him slices of pepperoni pizza. The young man refused, saying he was vegetarian.
"I said, 'OK, then don't eat it,' then I got mad," Grima said. "I said, 'Wait a minute, I don't owe you anything. I'm happy to help you, but I don't owe you a thing.' "
"I don't owe you anything." Grima had better watch out...someone might confuse him with a conservative.
What a bunch of whiners. Former hippies who revolted against polite society and whose motto was "turn on, tune in and drop out" are now annoyed by the next generation of kids who want to "stick it to the man?" I have no sympathy.

It has been said that a Conservative is a Liberal that has been mugged. For Haight Ashbury, maybe a Conservative is an old hippie that has been mugged.
I guess they have their Birkenstocks in a bundle (you can probably do better than that).
