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.

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.

Not even the spray trigger of the hose to squirt a passing child? I do it

Well . . . I have been known to hose down a biker and his damn straight
pipes. They make more noise than a freakin' semi. Thing with getting old
is that it affects your judgement. Where once you'd have held your piece
suddenly, you're ol' alligator mouth. But kids? You bad woman. Nah, I'm
not down with hosing down kids unless it is a very hot day and they
agree. I got me one of them motion detection sprinklers to keep the
"Hounds from Hell" from romping around in the lettuce patch. I always
forget when I turn it on. It's the last thing on my mind when I head for
the tools and, wham. Like I say, not bad on a hot day but we be putting
together a string of foggy morning and, just, comfortable afternoons.

When the kids come back and TP your garden, you'd best laugh with them
because you had it comin';-)
