Who in the *hell* is Wavy G?
You’re kidding, right?
Get over it, Wavy. Not everyone raised their children with a proper appreciation for the culture of the ’60’s. Just because you and I have clothing that’s older than Ms. Jaime, it doesn’t make her a bad person.
Remember when we used to say, "Don’t trust anyone over 30"? Ha. Now we have a hard time talking to anyone who doesn’t remember That Day in Dallas. Or the "I Have a Dream" speech. Or the Dead with Pig Pen playing drums.
Times change, pard.
Now we’re the elders, Wavy. And look what America has spawned. A bunch of kids who think "shopping" is a sport. A bunch of them who think an MBA from Wharton should earn them $150,000 as rookies in the bidness world. And we still have girls who think a cute butt and dimples can get them into the movies.*sigh*
But we also have really bright kids, wearing dreads, quoting Ed Abby and singing Garcia’s songs, while they learn how to build a world that we’d all like to live in. We’ve done some good. We do have some sprouts out there that we can be proud of. We can hang our hopes on their wings and dream them the strength to fly. They’re our legacy. And it’s a good one. Believe that.
I’ve seen some awesome kids flying with our dreams of equality, world peace, food for everyone, clean water to drink, and no fear of being murdered in your bed by soldiers of your own government.
(All bets are off in America with Ashcroft though. We do need to fear Shrub, et al. They’ve recinded the Bill of Rights. When America does that, what hope do folks around the world have? None. Zip. Nada.)
America funded the murder of farmers in Nicaragua under Reagan. Why? What horrors is Shrub funding around the world (not just in countries that are on CNN)?
I love my country, but fear my government. (Will the FBI filters that are looking for subversives pick up on that phrase? =:-O )
Jan, a yellow dog democrat, life-long civil rights activist and member of Amnesty International (that’ll draw the red flag)
PS: My dad’s lawyer has been bored since he got out of the senate. I wish Ashcroft’s boys would pick me up as a subversive. Q. and I could use the excitement. (He’s a Jew who went to Harvard. I’m IrishCatholic. We both love a good fight with bigots, fascists, jerks, pukes from Yale and right-to-lifers from Misery who believe in liberty and justice for everyone who thinks just like they do.)
