While I agree that a shot and a beer are a good send off for Hilly, I think C.F. missed the point. Beeber wasn't saying that Hilly was oppressed; he was saying that a history of oppression led his father, great uncle and the Zionists to recreate themselves so as to be independent and free. In other words, it was their rebellion against THEIR oppression that set Hilly free. Just as it was Hilly's inherited sense of DIY that in turn helped do the same for the punks. So let's agree to disagree and move on. After all, oppressed or not, we all end up pissing in the same pot.
