And if you want to enter the Dawn of the Age of the DUmmie FUnnies, just ask to be placed on the PING List.
PING!
PING!
Groovy Man.
Come, gather 'round and sing a rousing chorus of Kumbaya.
I had a similar thought while I was writing the post earlier, something to the effect that your son could be one of the leaders of the next wave of "freedom fighters" in the US.
[“Freedom Fighters?” Let’s not be shy in our use of terminology. Post what you REALLY meant---“Terrorists.”]
Funny stuff.
Sounds suspiciously like a Freeper troll.
Peeeeee-uuuuuuuuuu! While the hippys yearned for pot, LSD, orgasms, long hair, mescaline, a place to sleep, and a rock concert...The short haired, militaristic, well fed, imperialist pigs were putting a men on the moon.
These people are nuts.
There is a great exhibit at the Spy Museum in DC on terrorism in the US, with a section on Weather Underground. What is terrifying is that there is a former member talking about building bombs and all the plans for bombing different sites and the only regret is that one blew up in production and killed some of her friends. This woman is now 50ish (and probably a current DUmmie) and STILL says they only stopped because her friends were killed, with no remorse of anyone else she injured or killed.
The DU's, as well as the aging hippie population, tend
to romanticize those days. It was a time of confusion, violence and little if any real reform IMO. I am glad those days are over; it's nice to TALK about reform but actions speak louder than words. Burning campuses accomplished nothing except the deaths at Kent State at the hands of over anxious police.
BTTT
"....Earl Schieb."
That line cracked me up. What ever happened to Earl Schieb, by the way?
This thread, obviously, dates the DUmmies, who more typically try to pose as young kids or young adults, with their lives still ahead for them, rather than what many DUmmies are, washed-up, faded-out, belt-challenged, balding, guys and women in their 50s and 60s, who spent the last 40 years subsisting on welfare, working in "non-profit" enterprises, or "working" for the government.
As one FReeper so presciently said, "there's a lot of money to be made, in being part of the problem."
I noticed the same thing in a DUmmie discussion about credit cards; if what these DUmmies there alleged are true, they have to be older middle-aged adults, and not kids, to do the deals they did, to get into (and out of) the messes they did.
I also detected a troll in the morass yesterday; during a DUmmie discussion of "Not a Damned Dime Day," someone reminded everyone about "January 21," not to spend a dime that day.
The thread continued.
And continued.....
And continued.....
Everybody talking about "January 21."
Then, dadgumit, somebody interrupted, reminding the DUmmies the "damned day" is January 20, not January 21.
Also, the DUmmies are upset that Target, of all companies, is having really big special sales on Thursday.
This is very important. Who defeated Batman? Was it Penguin, The Joker, Mr. Freeze, The Riddler, or that evil Cat Woman ? ROFLOL !!
Speaking of this book deal: Why don't you get your good buddy Barak Obama to hook you up with a publisher? :-)
The left is only doing what they always do. They speak as if there were some vast hippie uprising when it was really a vocal few and a lot of followers who were only there to get high.
As a kid growing up in rural America I didn't see many hippies because they didn't exist here. Then as now, they were in the cities overestimating thier numbers and thinking they were superior.
"The New Left was an abysmal failure. It was spoiled children whining that they didn't want responsibility for anything. Rather than organize effectively, which was too much like work, they decided to sit around, smoke dope, and just try to shock people."
Ah, the more things change...
I always pictured DUmmies mostly as tennagers blinded by their youthful ignorance. Now this opened my mind. There are also many older DUmmies blinded by a lifetime of drug abuse.
