I don't think a draft is the way to do it either but it's gonna happen eventually. I would rather it not since I don't want my husband going over there, but then again he'll be the first to fight against going. I do notice and wonder if anyone else has but clothing stores are trying to bring back the "look". (I've never been so happy and amazed at the same time) Why are they bringing it back? It's a good thing that the clothing industry is trying to do something. I just don't like how Gap is marketing peace for the holiday season though. Especially adding it with the commercials on tv, rap/hip hop like music I don't see goes well together with peace. So if you've noticed things in today's culture trying to bring it back let me know!
right on with the revolution, in fact i am holding a protest in my small town the day of the march on washington...a protest for peace. get ready brothers and sisters, revolution is coming your way.
I'm all for that man, but like other people said, whos going to listen? We are todays youth and we cant do anything about the Earth because no one is going to listen. They will say ''silly little kids, aint that cute, they are trying to imitate the 60s. Run along and go save a tree''. And plus the government is got all this shit in everyone elses head that they are saving the world and everythings alright as long as they're around, so everyones listening to them instead of us because they are ''civilized adults''. So the governments going to win over us, its just not possible for us to win, I mean its sad I know, but even if the we did get people listening to us the government would get us, just like they do when people see UfOs. We are going to have to get violent if we want to be heard and when I say we I mean all of the Youth in the country because it has to be that big to do it. So what am I saying we do? I say if we can get everyone out there to do this, then we have a chance, but if not, all we CAN do is drop out of society and not abide by these fucking rules the government has put out there for us. Smoke pot, eat shrooms, dont pay your taxes, piss off the government in EVERY SINGLE WAY YOU CAN, and maybe, just maybe we will be heard. Thats all I have to say man, I hope you guys hear what I'm sayin. Peace, Love, and Happiness
I agree with somehow planning a way we can show the world and government and all the fucked up corporate monkeys who waste their lives away driving in a metal coffin from one box prison to the next that WE WILL NOT JUST LAY BACK AND TAKE THIS SHIT ANYMORE. I'm so sick and tired of the arrogance, hypocracy, apathy and ignorance that is in the world...why can't we all just support and love one another?
i think what's being missed here is that this IS what (in th 60s and 70s) we did. we were never acknowledged as having been listened to. and yet, it DID work, continued to work, even became semi-established as the 70s rolled on. only when raygun conspired with khomani was the previous establishment able to reasert itself and screw it all up. fall down seven times, get up eight times. so, with raygun and after we went back to sleep for a while. so big deal. so we can wake back up too. yes we've got tyranny now because we let it happen. we let ourselves and with each succeeding generation, get conned into putting trying to impress each other ahead of the avoidance of screwing everything up for each other. it's all a matter of which is more important to enough of us. young and old. it WAS the young who led then. partialy thanks to having a unique demographic on our side. there is nothing that cannot happen again or happen for the first time either. it simply takes sending an unambiguous message by honest and unmuddled example. and of course for some, there will always be some who are called upon to make the ultimate sacrafice in the proccess of doing so. there is risk too. there is always risk. and sometimes bigger risk in not taking it. i'm not trying to tell anyone not to try anything. the only thing i'm personaly advocating is to withhold support for what obviously causes harm. but others, young and old, are more then welcome to try whatever they think works. i make no claim to be omniscient as to what does and does not. =^^= .../\...
theres plenty going on right now...all kinds of grass roots movements transforming tight "tribes" of people. but thats just it, we are scattered these days and can really only work with eachother in a more intimate way. we dont need another big movement like the 60's saw, we need more people to take an intrest locally and take care of eachother on a man to man level. we're at a point now where the protest dosent mean shit, no matter how many people are shouting in unison. our power is not in changing or reforming anything, our power is in creating an alternative for ouselfs....you cant fight babylon, but you can remove yourself from it. and you can create space where others can come to do the same.
it is not going to happen.but, as youth, we do have a vary BIG say in changing the times. if we try to restart the 60s however there will only be disappointment. what was cool about the 60s was the youth rebelled and wanted peace. those are the only things we need to keep in the future
So we should take an action? We could start with ourselves, for example, let's organize our own young hippie camp (somewhere that'd be get-at-able for people from all over the world, like our center-of-the-world), it would be a good start for making changes, at first, we could talk there about what excatly we want to do and how we can achieve that. Talking circles about these problems at evenings, choosing the leader & other hippie-camp-stuffs. Well? Is this idea really that bad? And maybe someone has any suggestions about this?
Coooool. A kind of second '60s would be beyond awesome since we can't go back. Someone develop time travel... QUICKLY.
Well Look At The Resources Of This Forum, If We All Can Gather In One Place At One Time, And Then Have The Ability To Spread The Word Around, Im Sure We Could Gather Followers, Look At The Truth Commercials...if We Could Earn Money And Do Things Like That, Then The Word Definetley Gets Out, Im Down For Trying To Bring Us Back Together, Society Today Is Bullshit, And Our Generation Was Meant For Something Big And To Do Something Big, I Think Its Time We Start.....
Yes, this is all a great idea, but... I mean it's easy enough to sit here on the computer and say "yeah! lets do it!" But its whether or not we actually do do it that matters. And since where all in different places around the world, what we need to do is start making a difference individually. Some friends and I have already taken vows about certain things, which will hold up until were legal (which luckily is soon), and then that's when the action will really begin. So anyways, actions speak louder than words. If you guys are really serious about all this, then go out and show it, make a difference in your neck of the woods, for now at least, until we can come up with a bigger plan Also, I guess i might add, my friend and I are saving up to buy a bus which we'll buy when were legal, and then we'll go around the world promoting peace and and other important stuff. If you guys are interested, you could always come with us, the more the merrier! I mean it's a start...
i say we build a camp somewhere in the middle of the u.s., in the mountains or something...somewhere central, and then we can all gather, its like they used to in cali. in the mountains and shit, they would throw bonfires and all night smoking parties...from what my mom told me, shes grew up a flower/indigo child...so she tells me a lot about the 70's and shit....i saw we do it...WHOS WITH ME!!!!lol
The hippies were defined by what straight society was not back in the 60's. Just like we were the hippies of our generation. You young folks are the hippies of this generation. Only by stepping outside of society are people able to look at it objectively, to be able to see what's wrong with it and how people can change it. So, basically, the counter-culture took what worked for them from society and changed, modified what they felt needed changing, as opposed to simply following the dictates of straight society, whatever that means to you today. Bob Dylan's "The Times They Are A-Changing" is very much alive, it's actually an ongoing process. Goodluck and best wishes to the hippies of this generation.
I keep saying that we need to do something, I think us young hippies should get more advice from our elder hippies like mandell did, take what we can use, help chagne the world, I heard on the radio, that people are seeing the changes of this world, and that we need to do something, sounds retarded, but it was what i was looking for. To hear that statement, kind of wanted mt to get us all together, and get a plan together, and put this world back together
