Reply #117: I'm an old hippy

Back in the 70s, we did get a lot of attention. I still see the scar over my left eye where a pig whacked me with a night stick at Mayday in 71. Seven stitches after I got out of jail. Of course then, we were the anti American subversives. Yes, we got lots of attention from the media! Of course, we had Abbie Hoffmans, Bobby Seals, Jerry Rubins, etc. Lots of people with balls. Seems we don't have many of them now.We also burned shit, turned cars over and were VERY disobedient. I'm just glad they didn't have tasers back then!


Getting old is a strange thing. I forget that many weren't around for Viet Nam. Same players, different war. Brown and Root, now known as Haliburton was the big beneficiary of that one and we lost 58,000 fighting the Boogie Man Du Jour. The filthy commies. Now we have the Islamo Fascist as our current Boogie Man. I've seen this movie too many times and it's a bad one. Now, the media is drumming up for war with Iran. Saw this one too not very long ago. They will have missiles capable of hitting the US in 3 weeks or some bullshit like that. The crazy righties are rambling about Amen nut job being the 3rd Mahdi or some mumbo jumbo, not realizing that he has about diddly to do with what Iran does. Just like Obama has about diddly to do with what the US does. Things the media leaves out~
