@danieljh Actually a lot of the 'hippies' dropped back in to create the personal computer industry. I know quite a few having lived in the Silicon Valley area since 1976. The Apple boys used to party at the Albatross on West Cliff when they were taking a lost weekend from Job's Garage. Unfortunately many tried 'dropping out' again and were too 'locked' into their affluence to go (Native terms) "Back To The Blanket". Lots of guys who should have been bikers 30 yrs ago around here too..
@YouBastard95060 Thats all fine and dandy..but a lot of "Hippies" from the 60's look down on my (X) Generation..when they were some of the WORST consumer fuckers and spoiled brat pricks who think they knew it all and left several generations holding the bag for their "Enlightened" fruity thinking. I like free thinking..but i'm NOT fond of 60's hippy HYPOCRITES.
@danieljh You'll get no argument from me... My area is infested with the cultural fallout in so many ways I can't even begin to describe here. Regarding the hypocrisy and cultural fallout, and what is to be expected from subcultures in general, a book from the late 60s "The Making Of A Counterculture" by Theodore Roszak tackles it from a 'left' perspective. But his observations cut across political lines, and it's not a political 'polemic' in any way.
@danieljh Not all of us turned yuppie. Who did I see for the past 35-40 years fighting for justice & peace? Thats right- a whole lot of dirty fucking OLD hippies. . Where were the younger people? it was the kids coming of age in the Reagan years who embraced yuppiedom whole-hog. And subsequent decades became more and more apolitical. Thank God that the occupy movement has finally stirred a new generation to action. First time in all these years that it hasn't just been a bunch of old hippies.
@just1again There were young people around... They just ran in different circles... Even @ Occupy. Do a google search on "75 river", a direct action that happened locally. Not too many old hippies in that crowd (a few... Like me). Most of the older crowd was busy 'throwing them under the bus' at the GA and trying to distance themselves politically and PR-wise. Disgusting, while the 75 River crew was REALLY #Occupying. A short raw video of the scene at the occupied bank is in my collection
@YouBastard95060 I'll search 75 river.LOTS of young people are in our Occupy too, Maybe 75% What I meant was that in the past 20 yrs,up until occupy I saw only OLD HIPPIES at peace & justice events.For the 20 yrs previous, it was the same "old" hippies,tho we werent old yet.LOL Young people weren't interested. Occupy has woken young people up to the possibility of real change; now young & old are working together for justice. Sorry to hear that old activists at yours are so exclusive.Thats WRONG
@just1again - Not entirely sure what you are trying to say. I'm glad that multilple ages, many generations, are involved in the movement even if, in the end, it doesnt do anything but "raise awareness." It took us since WW2 to get where we are now, if not even before then, so changing things won't happen overnight, and it will take ALL of us, every age, to help it change. The more that join in, the faster it'll happen. Better NOT take 50-60 yrs tho. We dont have that long.
@midnightprankster Don't really want to get into a political discussion here but it's really too bad Ron Paul doesn't have a practical plan. He has a "Wish List".
For instance IF Ron Paul managed to get rid of the Fed and Fractional Reserve banking, 80% of the American population would be trying to kill him... and it would happen fast once they realized their credit cards evaporated. If the banks can't create money 'out of thin air' neither can we.
@YouBastard95060 Ending the Fed sound like a practical plan to me. But yes, most Americans would hate him after realizing that they would now have to open up lines of credit through credit unions, and that credit unions don't just hand out loans and lines of credit, because they are actually held accountable for bad investments ;/
@YouBastard95060 Yes! So let us elect a president who will push for that! Lets elect a president who will tell people what they need to hear, rather than what they wan to hear. Ron Paul may not be perfect, but in my mind he is the ONLY presidential candidate worth voting for. The other candidates (including our current "president") are all just puppets and, if Ron Paul is not elected, our country will just keep heading in the same direction.
@midnightprankster Personally, I think the Republicans are throwing the elections anyway so they can lock down congress for another four years with no budget etc, and then 'paint' the next Democratic presidential contender with that 'tar'. If Ron Paul bucks them, he will, as Hunter S. Thompson once so colorfully described, "wake up one morning with a beat up hooker in his bed and photographers taking pictures."
@YouBastard95060 let us stroke a pen and put congress on the street.
This government has been piss poor managed for decades. But that's only half the battle.
When any other business is mismanaged and fails, well..... That's just too bad. Better luck next time. Maybe you should get a job working for somebody else. You suck at managing your own business. NO bail out for you!
@a2zhandi Who failed what? The Constitution was rigged from the start for the land owners and the merchant class. Without the bill of rights (see what's left of it now?) many of the Const Convention delegations would have walked out like Penn and stayed out. In the founding father's frame of reference, Liberty and Freedom meant the liberty and freedom to own property without government intrusion. The govt didn't fail... The business and landed classes did, and took everyone with them.
It's too bad they didn't listen to us.What a great world we could be living in today instead of this greedy , fascist , corporate totalitarian cesspool we have today.
@sanmig68 There's still work to do... Like the reggae songs says "One step forward two steps backwards down inna Babylon". 2012 should prove to be an interesting election year... year in general.
oh yes,,,the congress is on the take....they become millionaires while they are in office...and the people to Congress and the senate........FUCK the people. We as a nation must take back our country and continue to be a power. We are the 99% out number the 1%.
@just1again Yeah... There too! Also, don't forget about Syria, where the West has a desperate interest in re-purposing the Trans-Arabian pipeline that travels withing Syria's border, long in disuse, but PERFECT for bypassing the Straits of Hormuz... MORE
@just1again after 'softening' Iran up to the point where they either can no longer protect their oilfields or find some 'help from the MEK, the Iranians the US employed to fight our proxy war with Iran (and who also killed the Kurds and Marsh Arabs we blamed Saddam for) as a 'breakaway government' willing to sell the oil despite the government of Iran's wishes
The SIXTIES ain't OVER till all the Killing and injust come to an end...... been a Hippie forever and will be forever.........Are Goverment is no longer viable the persons holding office are corrupt, there is no one eligble to be president, that office is corrupt. I will fight for the people of this country I will not fight for this country. I will not particapate in the elections of a corrupt system.
