This is what happens when your group or location gets associated with a particular history and can't shake it. I have seen the same problem at universities, especially in "avant garde" art and music departments. Because of funding cuts and the general lack of mandatory retirement, the tenured professorate is quite aged right now, and the last time some of these boneheads were truly avant garde was when Yoko Ono was getting her dress cut by strangers and John Cage was hammering nails into piano strings. They were also doing a lot of acid back then (courtesy of the CIA). Now these faded has-beens are clinging to tenured university positions, and their introductory seminars about the "avant garde" are actually as retro as an aqua or "harvest" gold refrigerator.

While you were hanging yourself , on someone else's words
Dying to believe in what you heard
I was staring straight into the shining sun

Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil;
Who substitute darkness for light and light for darkness;
Who substitute bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!
21 Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes
And clever in their own sight! Isaiah 5:20-21 NASB

The 21st century. The age of Smart phones and Stupid people.
It is said that branches draw their life from the vine. Each is separate yet all are one as they share one life giving stem . The Bible tells us we are called to a similar union in life, our lives with the life of God. We are incorporated into him; made sharers in his life. Apart from this union we can do nothing.

I liven In San Anslemo. Marin Co...and haven't been to "the city" since the "turn of the century" and then only to Golden Gate Park.
The hppies in Mill Valley and Fairfax....I see all the time.
these non running streakers were from act up? they need to change their group's name to ACT OUT...but that would be asking too much I suppose
