Not sure why you were downvoted. The hippies and love-children and down-with-the-man types of the 60s and 70s have been in power for the last quarter century. They have shaped the world as they collectively see fit, and it's not that different from the one they protested against.

There is no "the" in Ukraine.
I like the idea, there's a lot of thought provocation in it. Having said that, I don't like how the article belittles the riot police force. Aren't the older generation (grandma) at least partly responsible for the state in which their kids (riot police) are in? It's not like these 'thugs' were created in a vacuum and that these 'grandma's' are helpless. They were young, and they made decisions...more likely to have…

There are certainly plenty of examples here in the U.S.
