The Sixties happened because the middle class wanted to not be drafted, wanted to be out of the closet, and wanted to smoke weed. They came together with people of color and the poor to fight oppression. It's 2025: there's no draft, no closet, no weed laws...and almost no middle class left.

In my despairing moments, I worry any social progress we've made over the last fifty years has been made entirely to separate those with money and power from what were their fellow outlaws...so we could be gay, safe, and high while the oppressors could get back to work.
