Hey! I remember 1969 - I was a mere ten year old but I read the paper
every
day and not just the comics.

How to put this tactfully? It's because you were reading the papers and
not rolling them. Hint, hint, nudge, nudge, say no more, say no more.

I was in the Haight and people were trying to find a way to live that
made sense. Meanwhile, over in Berkeley, students were trying to work
inside the system. We both got creamed. Guys walking up and down the
sidewalks wearing the same suits, the same shoes, same sun glasses and,
with the same camera strapped around their necks. What we need now are
new Church and Rockefeller sub-committees that put a spotlight on the
abuses (CIA assassinations, collaboration with the Mafia, discrediting
by illegal means political and civil rights leaders, ad nauseam) and
shoved the monster back into the bottle. You don't really have to
remember 1969 because "it's baaack".

1969 is back, but who the hell is noticing? Yet alone responding?

Some of us are, and a lot of our young are getting involved.

Take to the streets and get *really* hosed this go around. No media
coverage, no help, no nothing... think WTO summits. Standing in the
free speech zones wiht no media coverage is an outrage.

what we need and what we are going to get are two different things,
BIlly.

*They* beat hell out of us, yet we won, it was a pyrrhic
victory.........but *they* learned from the experience.

Too many of *us* joined up with *them* and effing forgot about it.

Sold out, most of our generation did.

The "Battle in Seattle". "The Rock in Rostock". Some people know what
the multinationals have in mind for us. Thank god not all of us are
going down easily. If you get a chance throw yourself in the gears or at
least, throw you wooden shoes n the gears. We are on our way back to the
"Middle Ages" but, with high tech weaponry.

Whoa bro.......your trigger finger is fast!

You got it right....it's our nature....the old scorpion and frog thing.

Keep on keepin' on

If'n it were my fingers, they would be wrapped around a petanque ball
and a cool one. None of my fingers were made for triggers.
