i agree that the routes taken by the empires was based on greed and wealth. no denying that. with myself, i basically try to look for progression when it comes to societies. none of us had anything to do with imperialism either so its disappointing to see the effects around in todays times. still, nothing is forever, and whether its the weather, aliens, or thrill seeking conquerors those inhabitants of america were and are (as we are) bound to be in a different state based on unforseen changes. in my familys history, we were kicked out of wales 300 years ago for being quaker. the english were killing off quakers because they refused to change religions. its still tough holding that faith today, people want to call me strange, insane, a god idiot, a fag, a nut, and anything else they can think of defending themselves by. personally if thats the worst consequence for believing what i do, than i got off easy compared to some cultures. its terrible what my country does to make friends and fill up peoples cars. i just wanna go find some farmland and play my music without worrying about how my government is screwing with everyones freedom. i wish there was still a haight ashbury to go and celebrate life within. its impossible to change a cultural history. something thats real for any survivors of violence and war can certainly attest to. with respect to the dark days in our world, its decent to find points in history where things were the opposite. the haight is like one of the few times when things went right. in a world full of rediculous greed and negative energy i like to find peace knowing that some folks dared to try something great. to me its okay if those things happened in a forsaken mistreated country, they are still real and wonderful events which stand as great examples to hippies like me. i was absolutely born 60 years too late
credo we are tearin up this thread it's like a split open and melt (which is a great phish song)
girls: don't worry about dating the any of the virgin monsters. personally i think the nymph types (for both sexes) are usually the most likely to cheat.
