#2 Jonah Lawrence's problem is he thinks he will be looking for a job, when he should be begging for a job.

Always amusing when the cows come home to roost.

#4 It's pretty funny when the crows come home to roost, too. Especially when they try to share the roost with the cows....

#7 Years ago, a Phoenix cartoonist named Bob Boze Bell did a funny one page for the Phx New Times, about "Punk Scouting". One cartoon showed a Punk Scout, and was captioned "Remember that when carving a hippie, you should always carve away from yourself."

Not really. Long before people became confused between unkempt nomads and actual hippies, a majority of the true hippies were focused on learning and peaceful coexistence. Yes, there were anarchist morons among them, but the level of intelligence was pretty decent.

Punks are nothing more than thugs. Their death obsession, readiness to commit violence, incredible self-abuse and abusiveness to others flies in the face of nearly everything that decent hippies once stood for.

Unfortunately for hippies, many others who were entirely without direction adopted the exact same guise and demeanor but were essentially unproductive bums. Liberal politics aside for a moment, these street bums gave hippies a bad name that persists until today.

The current crowd of punks are incredible losers whose sense of entitlement gives them no understanding of productivity or socially cohesive behavior. While people may have thought long hair was intentionally offensive, street punks take things well beyond this. Foul language, denigration of courtesy and polite manners, misogynism, racism, intentionally revolting appearance and general intolerance are their hallmarks.

While hippies may seem to have been their progenitors, street punks are the pinnacle achievement of the nihilistic philosophy that has been taught to our children for many decades. The "there is no right and wrong" and "truth is relative" crowd have delivered forth their ultimate triumph. Violent, self-destructive amoral thugs who absolutely refuse to integrate into society in any meaningful way.

#10 Man, what a bunch of symathetic comments there are here today. Why isn't ther more compassion towards the esteemed Mr. Evans? I mean, here he is after having squatted at the same place for 30 and 4 years, shouldn't he be entitled to little peace and tranquility in his golden years....?

Sounds like A Clockwork Orange without the stylishness.
