It's that like an apology for coming in the forums and trashing me and emailing me what you did Carol. I never told anyone what you and Rabbit were doing to me, I did not make a nasty little thread about it and post y'alls wicked emails in it as you did to me. All I ever did was tell the truth.. thats what I'm all about, is the truth. Carol, please be more selective as to whom you give your trust too in the future. To have a friend, you have to be a friend. I do thank you for posting what White Rabbit is really all about. I'm glad you found out before you let him in your home to molest your children. It's like I been saying.. Not all alledged Hippies are 'Hippies' some use the guise to get close, then they do their 'dirty work', while they preach Love and Peace. I would not call a Child Molester a peacefull hippie. A true Follower of the Flower would never harm a child. To have a sick motherfucker like that even in the same state as me, makes my skin crawl. If PIEMAN and WhiteR are so tight and PM sticks up for WR, then I would have to honestly think that PieMan is in agreement with him, he's always saying WR is a cool hippie dude from the 60's.. oh hell no he is not. I do not trust either of them. Who would want to associate with a known baby raper unless you were one too!! They are not HIPPIES they are Wolves in Sheeps Clothing!!!! Be WARNED Y'all want to know about SF.. What it was really like..It was hard, it was tuff. By 75 it had turned to junkie haven. Pimps and Prostitutes, Ripoffs and Child Molesters. Guns and death.Drugs and insainity My Charished Street of Love was now a vile and loathsome place of disgust. Where there was once smiles on the faces and stars in the eyes of the people, there now was blank stares and babbling as the girls stand on the street corners peddling their pussys for their next fix. There were young kids pouring in by the droves. Every type of perve was waiting, drooling, over the next batch of runaways to hit the street. I can not tell you how many thirteen yr olds I saw on corners, strung out on smack giving 50 blow jobs a day for 5 bucks a pop. So very sad. It wasn't always like that, not in the begening. Not when we followed our hearts and had pure thoughts of love and compassion and let Creator drive the Bus. Creator got off the bus when the HIGH became more important then the MESSAGE and the message got lost in the needle. The point that is hiding someplace in this message will find it's mark. The truth WILL be known. As we live we learn, as we learn we grow. We see, we listen and we feel. The only evil is the evil that lurks in mankind. I call negitivity evil, it is not a religious thing. We create our own enviroment, no matter where we are, bc it comes from within the Spirit, not from outside the Spirit. We are only in charge of ourselves, we can only change what we don't like in our own lives. What we surround ourselves with, who we accociate with and who we let influence us is all our own choices. We create our own negitivity by drawing negitvity to us. Like the Mean Bodies looking for other Mean Bodies to glom onto, creating a bigger mass of Mean Bodies to prey on unsuspecting victems, creeping into their minds trying to devour thier hearts with their dirty game. We can create the same attitude as it was in the earily dazes of the 60's. It's all a matter of what you choose to think, or how you choose to think. It's not the 'place', the place is an illussion. It's what we think and how we react to what we learn that is reality. Brightest Blessings sh
we've all known bad people.That doesn't make us bad.Bad people take advantage of good situations,hence the paradox we call San Francisco.
1 way also to describe San Francisco in mid 1960s = Rich people spoil they'r kids, in San Francisco a strong wealthy nation spoil the youth ..and the youth took advantange of that golden era .
Hell yes we were spoiled.The chance to vacation in Viet Namn would spoil anybody.You want to talk spoiled,it was the previous generation.They took our retirement and social security,then they screwed up our earth.They got theirs,so fuck the kids.At least we're trying to leave something behind.
I don't remember being spoiled.. when I was little, there were not a lot of jobs for all the soildes after WW11. We ate a lot of beans and taters and Christmas's were slim pickens. After moving to So Cali in the middle 50's life did get a little easier as far has having enough food and paying the bills. In the 60's the money was good and my parents could afford to buy a house. Five yrs later all us kids were grown and out of the house. We were certainly not spoiled after that, much the opposit. I am more 'spoiled' now then I ever was in my youth.
I don't remember being spoiled either. Loved? Yes. Spoiled? No. Had 1 tv for whole house, black and white for a while. Actually had to go outside and play instead of play nintendo etc all day long (that was just sarcasm, frustrated over childhood diabetic kids and other diseases contributed to by lack of exercise or require glasses from standing too close to a screen too long or often). Ate out of tin cans and survived, drank out of the garden hose and didn't die of bad water. lol Ok, improvements are always good, but i don't like being viewed as spoiled when that was not the case. Had household chores to do, was expecte to work, etc etc. Will say tho there was some element of spoiling, not in the form of money or riches, more in areas of caring for my well being. Everyone is different I suppose.
You guys miss the mark . Spoil in the sense we had freedom to do anything we wanted . food was very cheap so was housing thats why hippies could get away with what they did ....and by the way spoil rich hippies did exist back in those days as well . that includes all rock bands and kids that parents would not raise a eye lid over givin them $20.00 / $50.00 a lot money back then when you consider a rock concert was only $4.00/$6.00 to get in,.. lot money left over for recreation drugs and munchie bars.
I feel more blessed then spoiled, and I think: that is one of the major reasons that we rebeled in the first place, being cloned to become our parents. Live by their standards. My Mother came from Wealth and my Father was a Poor Texas Farm Boy in a handsome uniform. I'm a Farmer my wealth comes from the land.
Thanks. You guys have answered alot of the questions I had about the city and about the early hippie movement. Thank you for the all the replies to my inquiry.
I'm not sure about priviliged Mo, Most of us had to work our butts of to get what we have. If you mean priviliged to have enough food and water and shelther and education, yes we have all that.. but we faught long and hard for those priviliges. They were not a given. They were earned. We paid in blood, sweat and tears. America is still a young country, less then three hundred years old. Our forfathers cut out a new way.. and I'm not talking about the Indains, that was war and the warriors took care of that. But the people who came in wagons, on horseback and on foot, the ones that cleared the land and built their homes and got away from terriny and oppression to live free under the sky. That is what made us who we are, Giants. But to say it's a privilige, is like saying it was given to us, when we work so hard for it. I think we get greedy and sometimes want more and better things. But some things we need, like a tractor if your a farmer, or a typewriter if you write. Things like that we need. I think the rich are extravagant, but most of us are not rich. I think we just get caught up in trying to make it till the next paycheck that we forget to stop and smell the roses. We get so hungup we can't see a rose let alone stop and smell one. Ohh am I trailing.. oopps.. I will to stop now. sh
I'm BACK!, Shameless-- and, I missed you. (I still think it was you who gave me a dose of clap that lovely SF afternoon, but I could be wrong-- maybe it was Teepi. At any rate, I was cured, went on to father 4 kids and raise 8 cats.) So, I guess the Love Summer of 1967 turned out just ducky.
the clap knew better than to come near me....never had the mispleasure. It must have been Gatey..I heard he gave it to tons of people and its still going strong. I'm sure you two had a grand time irregardless. teepi
Hail Hail" the gangs all here.. wooohooo... It were not me whom gave 'em da clap. it weres me evil twin ..muhahahaha.. Opps I have no twin.. it still weren't me doe. Glad to see ya back thudmyster. I was getting a little worried and had a dream that you had run out of CAT FOOD and the cats devoured you instead, and there was a bunch of wild kitties drunk on your blood, writin' books about how they done you in. Very Bazar!! At any rate I found that you and Teepi did not join the circus, so no free rides for shameless.. Oh Well.. Gatey, One word for you sweetie and that's *Tetracycline* Brightest Blessings sh
