With all of the shit going on in the world, it is frustrating to me that more people aren't outraged over it. At least with the crowd I ran with, the term "social conscience" was not a foreign concept but almost an expectation. I will admit that my activism have mostly been relegated to the blogging and service work that I do. But I do remember the days when I would get a call or a knock on the door with someone saying. "Come on.....we're going to a rally or march against the war. I heard it said somewhere that "revolution is a young man's game"...and maybe there is some truth to it. Lastly, I got to tell you that the Bush Administration has put us (America) in a precarious situation, the fallout of which we haven't even began to realize. So much for nostalgia,....I am glad that I experienced it and would love to go back in time. Let me know if you figure a way!

Hippies these days are too strung out. They are too health conscious and read too much gobbeldygook. I feel sad at the whole new rich so called "cyber hippies". What ever happened to protesting on the grass. Now It's...the secret...this...and ....what the bleep...that...I thing the indoor couch potato hippy has taken over. I miss the flowers in the hair.
