Every time I have heard Ken Kesey speak, the thing that has impressed me most is the deep space he comes from. He's not just mouthing words, not exercising his ego, but speaking from the soul, from a place of clarity, sincerity, and certainty.

your a dumb ass. Maybe YOU were self-indulgent. There are plenty of people who take their experiences to other greater things.

Where do you think the whole Eco movement came from? Apple computers? the internet?? all based on psychedelics or ideas born of it. Those that are self-indulgent escapists will move on. Not fair to make a blanket statement like that

Why is it that the hippies seem to know more than the general public, yet ironically enough it's the hippies that are mocked and looked down upon by the general public? It's obvious Saddam and Osama were both part of a scheme developed by the United States themselves, not some outside terrorist threat! And guess what? Gaddafi is next...

as of a couple of days ago Leon Panetta,other US operatives, and military interrogators who were involved with prisoners during that time all, I repeat, ALL refuted water-boarding led to Osama. They explained that the time line alone made it impossible.Of course Fox news and the Cheneys jumped on one thing and twisted it. Hey don't let evidence and facts get in  the way of your beliefs man! When I first heard Panetta's initial statement I knew he would have to correct himself. Fox ignored that

@47docrock CIA also said Water-Boarding and other technics used by BUSH Aministration helped get Osama,....but just like always,..comes down to who you want to believe,.....

[47docrock]

@mrjericho5701 AND already proven totally and absolutely untrue. if you watch real news organizATIONS occasionally you should know that by now,May17th. When the Cheneys pontificate something, you should have a good clue that it isn't factual. when someone is wrong and wrong again why does a news outlet treat them like some authority?

[mrjericho5701]

Recent info which originally came from "Water-Boarding" under BUSH led to the courier found in Iraq which led us to Osama,.....interesting!,....

@blastingcaps Of course you can call someone a whore or a faggot, and tell them to "shut the fuck up", but don't be surprised when they are offended; in fact, it would seem to be exactly what you wanted. You're insulting people who aren't harming anyone and just trying to be happy by being honest about what they feel and believe. It's a shame traditional morality seems increasingly to forget lessons about being good to each other, and instead makes declarations of who should be hated.

@blastingcaps Homosexuality exists throughout the animal kingdom, so it's not unnatural, and when you say "other humans are not produced that way", the same could be said of heterosexuals from the point of view of a homosexual. The idea of sexual freedom is that people don't misrepresent themselves. They agree to be part of a group that believes love is sometimes not exclusive.

[blastingcaps]

@CosChrono Well some people still have what is called morals. I for one think homosexuality is disgusting and "wrong" in the sense that other humans are not produced that way. HOWEVER, I dont give a shit if other people want to do that kind of thing. As far as whores go, there are different kinds. A person who says they love u than fucks your friend is a terrible whore, because they misrepresented who they were. All in all, if i want to call somebody a whore or a faggot, its a personal judgment.
