Pieman or anyone else who may have a clue... When I was of a rather tender age I ran away to NYC. This was 1970. While there I had many adventures...and I've probably forgotten alot more than I remember... However, there was a man I stayed a short time with...and I can't remember his name...But he ran for something in the political arena, and he showed me newspaper clippings of the race. His platform was "I Have Nothing To Hide" and he actually had some kind of vehicle he would drive around the city in while naked. He stood in parks...probably Thompkins Square and Washington..naked and gave his speeches. He actually looked like the David Peel guy in your pic of Abbie there, your pieness. Well it sure would be nice to remember his name. I remember he had the bathtub right in the middle of the living room/kitchen area and had a board over it for a table...when I would bathe we took the board off...I thought that was so cool...hahaha teepi
Wow,... I done been sleepin at the wheel people lordy,..... Love to ya all!!!! Any one for "The lighter side of Abbie?" You folks is darn serious!!!! Laugh a spell!
how about this: free speech is the right to yell theater in a crowded fire! ahahaha. always makes me smile.
WHOA PIEMAN!!! Somehow I knew you would know....thank you so much, that memory has haunted me for years. He ran for President on the Nude Party ticket. He was a hoot, as soon as I read the name it came back to me...thank you so much. Dear sweet departed Lou.....
Now that puts a smile on my thousand year old soul! Thank you Muh Lady! A smile is universal in a thousand languages! Dangnabbit, I'm a blushin!
I like...sorry if I'm guilty of gettin' a little heavy there myself (I love sauteed portabella mushrooms BTW)... Speakin' of the Nude Party Ticket, I was hopin' we could get an old friend of mine on the Presidential ballot who's always been politically savvy (way more so than myself, but then again, I'm about as PC as a fart in church)... His campaign slogan: "MORE SEX, LESS VIOLENCE" 'works for me, I'm sure it could work for the rest of the country...
Am I the only one who knows this is the year of Our Lord 2005? All this loony shit may have been a hoot in 1970, but now it is why Bush and the Christian Right rule the country. Didn't ANY of you hear John Lennon sing in "Revolution #9"-- "If you go carrying round pictures of Chairman Mao, You ain't going to make it with anyone anyhow"? Most of these 60's counter-culture icons were drugged-out Commies whose activities were financed by the same trash who brought us Bill Clinton:a rapist, womanizer and perjurer. (And, non-inhaler.) JESUS! DIDN'T ANYONE LEARN! CAN'T YOU SEE! THE CHRISTIAN RIGHT WILL WIN FOREVER UNTIL YOU SILLY LEFTISTS QUIT INSISTING THE GOVERNMENT CAN TAKE LAW-ABIDING CITIZEN'S GUNS AWAY AND THAT BABY-MURDER IS AS AMERICAN AS APPLE PIE. Get used, liberals, to being out of power-- no matter how the war in Iraq is going, the Republicans will win on two issues: gun control and abortion. Plus, religion in schools.
Yikes,.... so much anger. Making broad generalizations is kind of comforting, but also kind of hasty. Turn that frown upside down and instead of pointing fingers,.... find common ground with your neo-commie-drugged out-baby-rapist pals. #1. I love you. #2. Try to stay positive. #3. Medication might relax you. #4. Try to laugh a little. #5. If you're part of the polarization, your part of the problem. From?,... Digger! Your proud fellow American (Neo-commie-dope smoking-Chairman Mao reviling- ex revolutionary- turned mellow beatnick-for the cause of moderated civil political discussion.)
Abbie Hoffman was one of the bravest people ever !!!! How dare you say that abbie is an idiot!!!!!!! Well I guess Since all Abbie ever said was the truth, you think the truth is idiotic, then you must be a flaming retard volded!!!!!! Nothing more is needed to be said to you !!!! I will Be here to talk once you get your head out of yer coolie!!!!!
Golly, you wasn't thinking that "I" said nothing unhappy about Brother Abbie didja? He is a fine upstanding socio-revolutionary. We is pals, we is! Ouch, Mucho anger vibrations a goin on here! I done gone run for the hills iffin this keeps up. Remember folks "A hand on you cock is more moral and more fun than a finger on the trigger!" Mellowtronics to ya all! Digger (yikes!)
um.. the republicans havent won on abortion.. roe vs wade made it pro-choice.. who did clinton rape? i think i missed that..
I for one am not a "silly Leftist"....and as long as I have a breath in me the Goverment will not take away my guns...the legal and the maybe not so. As far as abortion goes...I am pro-choice, don't want anyone making any kind of decisions for me regarding my health,my womb or my ass. I am neither Republican or Democrat or Liberal...I am me. All my opinions and thoughts cannot be rounded up and put in a nice little box with a label Plus...I don't really give a shit who wins these farces of elections anymore...what the FUCK!!!! The majority of the people think "OH shit the country sucks because we've got that fucking Democrat in office"...then in 4-8 years they all cry.."Oh shit, the country sucks because we've got that fucking Republican in office",,,and so it goes. Politicians are nothing but used car salesmen in better suits. Now, back to the fucking party....hahaha actually Hippywise, my old friend LOU (commie-bastard that he may have been) above is credited with coining the phrase"Make Love, Not War"...I did not know it till I started reading up on him yesterday....
Jumpin Jimminy Cricket. It's a left to the sacroilliac It's a right to the obdula oblebgottahavit It's a left to the Indagoddadavida It's a Right to the Spleen! (Stop the fight, throw in the towl!) Yikes`
not fighting sweetie. Just was enjoying the mellownness of the thread till the politics snuck in. This forum is for reuniting with old friends, discussing old times and the like. No one should be called loony or anti american because of what we experienced 35 years ago. If anyone wants to throw political debates around there are other forums around here for that. Carry on....
I kin dig it! I's trying a little funnin o' my own to get folks ta see the lighter side of this life. It's in my spirtual nature ta make people laugh and try to look at themselves a little. But, I is gonna duck when the metaphorical bullets fly! Believe you me!
