History Repeats Itself

When I was in college many of my fellow students called policemen "pigs", hated them, and we all believed that all we had to do was get rid of them, and all authority, and we'd all live in peace and harmony. In the words of Joni Mitchell we'd get "back to the garden" (of Eden).

Consequently, we had the huge crime wave of the '70s and '80s.

In the words of The Who, "I get on our knees and pray/We don't get fooled again".
