    gate> I may have been there, I've seen it happen.. the man dragging kids off by their hair...I was draged off when I was 13, but not before I broke Salazar's leg when I knocked his pig bike on top of him., It accually took 9 of them to load me up in the back of the cruiser. I had done nothing wrong, was just walking down main st Anahim in broad daylite. It didn't do much for their image a gang of men beating up a 13 yr old girl..My Daddy had a field day in court. Childern were not privy to lawyers and had no rights back then. My case set a presidence, that childern were to be represented by counsel in any judicual hearing. The Judge was accually appalled by the conduct of the officers that arressted me, and several of them went on suspension. I think he may have had a daughter him self. I had spent 5 months in Juvie and they had no plans on letting me out soon. I belive it was the Angels at work again. I was 5'1 and weigh'd about 100 lbs.The pigs thought I was easy pickens, but I show'd them I was to be reconed with. I had a picture of Jeues I carried around with me and I was hanging on to it with every fiber of my soul. I knew that there was Devine intervention there.

    Blessed Be <shameless>

    Well, it seems like old home week. I too grew up in OC. Huntington Beach area,
    but all of Orange county was my world, and into Long Beach sometimes for the drugs.

    I was lucky in the sence that for the most part, I talked my way out of alot of shit although I ended up in jail 2 times, little stuff. I never shoot anybody or never killed a family of 4 on the freeway. I would like to think I was a nice guy or at least in my own mind.

    When did I realize I was a hippy? Well it was in Bass Lake CA. I went to see the Woodstock movie. (I was maybe 13 or 14) It hit me like a fright train. I think my hair grew 2 or 3 in. during the show, or at least when I came out, it felt that way.
    Now that I'm thinking about it, I probably always had a little hippy in me but hadn't givin birth to it yet.
    They (the man) always said that marijuana lead to hard drugs, well in my case, LSD lead to pot. Trip first, smoke later.

    Gotta go for now but I will part by saying that even with some of the dumbasses here, I sometimes feel kinda warm and fuzzy.


    Thanks

    It's been in me all along, but never realized it until I put braids in my hair!

    It's actually when you realise you don't belong anywhere else....the world offers only square holes, and you're a round peg.
