While reading through these comments, I somehow stumbled upon a “Golden Moldy” on YouTube: Jefferson Airplane – “Crown of Creation” (Hey, I had older siblings who played it alot, OK?) But the line that I had almost forgotten, but which seems to me to be very relevant, is one of the “bridges” of the “song”:
“In loyalty to their kind, they cannot tolerate our mind,
In loyalty to our kind, we cannot tolerate their obstruction”
Since these folks were/are at the center of the 60′s hippie/leftist movement in San Francisco (I think they used to live in Speaker Pelosi’s district) it’s a perfect statement of how the Left (Then and Now) views dissent, or even how they view themselves; as one great big “collective mind.”
