Re: Chapter 10
 

I would be the most redneck hippy you ever met. lololol.

Let's see. a house, 3 pistols, 2 rifles, a big ol pick em up truck, a car, 2 motorcycles and there is no way I can stand dirty clothes for more than a day or two unless I am down in the woods canoeing or some such. I don't think I would pass the hippy indoctrination exam.

I am well versed in zen though and I don't rally associate that with the hippies. I got into that through surfing and skiing, both very zenny sports.


The only thing most hippies and I have in common would be some musical choices and an afinity for good green weed. The biggest difference between me and hippies is I can afford to buy the music and the weed and I cannot stand to be idle too long, have to be doing something productive most of the time. :okthumb:

Sides, I am tooo young to be a hippy, I turned 18 in '73. The music I identify with from my first days of freedom is Bachman turner and such. harder stuff than most hippies would go for.

I am a freak, but I am not a hippy :okthumb:

Re: Chapter 10
 

I don't hate canadians either (well, maybe some of the gay french ones). I think Canadians are prtty cool for the most art and I am waiting for the day that they get full citizenship instead of just being one of our protectorates :yowsa:

Most of the hippies around here could prolly buy and sell both of us. Our second larges cash crop after lumber is marijuana.
Randy Bachman is a local boy.

Then they are no longer hippies, they are now entreprenaurs. The hippis give it away. lolol.


Funny thing back about 15 years ago I think. I was a dead concert and of course all the dead heads are there, hanging out, dancing around the whole bit. Well, we are in our seats and there is a "hippy" guy in the road in front of us and he is yakking with his girlfriend about getting a tshirt. She gets up to go get the shirt and wants money, he reaches into his wallet, pulls out a Visa platinum and hands it to her. It was at that point that I realized that hippydom had changed some :blink:

When I lived up in humboldt county, most of the pot growers wre ex bikers selling the pot to the hippies. :okthumb:

Re: Chapter 10
 

Hippydom didn't change. You never understood it.

"Then they are no longer hippies, they are now entreprenaurs."

Hippies were always entrepreneurs. I would argue they started the current cult of entrepreneuriarship (is this an actual word?). I for one, have always been an entrepreneur one way or another.

"The problem with the French is they have no word for entrepreneur"
George W. Bush

Re: Chapter 10
 

Like I said, I am not a hippy. The actual hippy movement was jsut a touch before my time. And yes, I realize it continues in the form of the Yippies and such. So, you are right, I probably did not understand them. To me they were part of the anti war movement on one hand and alternative life stylers on the other.

Re: Chapter 10
 

You are a little bit right on all of the above. And yes, you seem not to have understood it. Interesting the difference a few years make. In 1968 I was standing on the corner of Haight and Ashbury feeling like the king of the freeking world.

Re: Chapter 10

Claim: President George W. Bush proclaimed, "The problem with the French is that they don't have a word for entrepreneur."
Status: False.

Origins: Yet another
"George W. Bush is dumb" story has been taken up by those who like their caricatures drawn in stark, bold lines. According to scuttlebutt that emerged in the British press in July 2002, President Bush, Britain's Prime Minister Tony Blair, and France's President Jacques Chirac were discussing economics and, in particular, the decline of the French economy. "The problem with the French," Bush afterwards confided in Blair, "is that they don't have a word for entrepreneur."

The source was Shirley Williams, also known as the Baroness Williams of Crosby, who claimed "my good friend Tony Blair" had recently regaled her with this anecdote in Brighton.

Lloyd Grove of The Washington Post was unable to reach Baroness Williams to gain her confirmation of the tale, but he did receive a call from Alastair Campbell, Blair's director of communications and strategy. "I can tell you that the prime minister never heard George Bush say that, and he certainly never told Shirley Williams that President Bush did say it," Campbell told The Post. "If she put this in a speech, it must have been a joke."

And by the time I got to San Francisco in 1976 it was just a gay paradise. Still some street people but they were mainly just there to sell stuff to the tourists to go withe their "I escaped from Alcatraz" T shirts:yowsa:

Re: Chapter 10
 

LMFAO....and you are going to believe Alistair Campbell....yeah right. Even if it is an urban legend, which I have read before, it is totally believable. So either way, it works.

Re: Chapter 10
 

Don't get me wrong, I think it is hysterical and totally believeable. But I showed it to my wife and she said it must be wrong so I had to look it up.

If you read the whole article there is a note in there that one of the other things that was said back in 2002 was that he waved at Stevie Wonder. That one made me choke.lolololol

:huh:

So you saying I would get into weird little snippets of thoughts randomly arranged in various patterns to present a varied array of possibillities to those who would be open minded?

Bet you think I did acid too. :unsure:


It looks pretty interesting :) Might be inclined to give it a perusal.

Thanx

Re: Chapter 10
 

LOL i would never assume you did sid, although i have been tempted... the only drug that has even appealed to me.....
