as i sit and listen to bob dylan sing the times they are a changin i wonder what that time must have been like to grow up in. i also wonder where those people are today. that mind set could be used right now. that generation was actually able to make things happen. they got together and took a stand that people today arent willing to take...and i wonder why. i was very young in the late sixties and remember so little now but from all that i can gleen from things well, people hadnt given up hope. was government so different then? people were willing to take a stand against things that were wrong. against there parents in most cases. why wouldnt someone young do that today. it seemed that generation didnt care if mom and dad threw them out because they could go it on their own. now it seems like the mindset is "what if mom and dad cut off the money train". that generation had hopes that jobs would be there and they would survive but i dont see that in most people today.this was a comment that was left on the blog monday.....

I don't understand why you just can't relax and realize that what ever is going on is out of your hands and you can't do anything about it but worry. So why don't you save your self some energy and time, and ulcers and just leave it to those responsible and in charge, no matter how they decide to handle things. You can, however, ever have your own opinion, but just chill out dude.
i guess i just cant understand this reasoning. things shouldnt be out of our hands. we are the voters. the country belongs to us. not the republicans and not the democrats. they work for us folks but lately we are working for them. its all backwards. leave it those responsible and in charge? no matter how they decide to handle things? those people arent very responsible. eternal vigilance is the price of freedom. no matter how they decide to handle things....what if they decide something you like is wrong. what if they decide that dancing or music or alcohol or dark skin people are wrong? just relax? i cant. i cant bury my head in the sand while this country seperates into the haves and the have nots. when people who played the stocks got rich while hard working people from a factory town cant make ends meet. when rick santorum calls for mothers to quit working and stay home and then votes to cut the minimum wage. and i dont think you should either. i think republicans and democrats need to get together and vote in good people. politcian shouldnt be a career. its something you do to serve your country and then get on with your lifes work. no one should come out of office wealthy......and they all do, with pensions that pay them in full for the rest of their lives and paid benefits. trust me YOU cant find a job like that now no matter what. we are allowing our rights to be taken from us. the patriot act is against everything the constitution stands for. they can throw a person in jail indefintely, without a lawyer or contact to the outside just by going before a judge and saying hes a terrorist......without proof i might add, and its going on right now. and dont give me that shit about us being at war. our constitution was made while war loomed for this country. most of those men who signed the constitution were hunted down for that. what if they decide my blog is wrong and i should be jailed....what if they decide that about yours?
well these are just some thoughts that have been running through my head lately. i hope that someone might think about what i wrote and do something.

I miss taking ACID!
see grampa, thats where you and i disagree. i think the young people in the sixties heard the beatles and wondered why they ever listened to bill haley. they smoked a joint and thought of new ideas (so of which were bad but al least they were new). i dont think they were scared of the sixties i think the people stuck in the fifties were scared of the sixties. in the words of abe simpson "i used to be with IT but then they changed what IT was. now what i'm with isnt IT, and whats IT seems scary and weird". thats how you are sounding grampa
