The problem with catch phrases is they are always too vague.
For instance love what about America? That we enjoy a higher standard of living and personal liberty that anywhere else? If a person hates that then I hope the door does hit them on the butts on their way out.
On the other side of the coin "change it" means many things to different people. The hippies themselves couldn't agree on what to change. Personally I am kind of leery about changing a society that has served us pretty well for the past two centuries. We stand to loose an awful lot if one of these ill conceived social experiments go wrong.
