46. I was a little too young to be a hippie but I took their values in to the disco era.
Edited on Sat Apr-26-08 05:01 PM by Uncle Joe
Although some may see contradiction, to me they're naturally compatible, the consistent beat of disco is nature's beat.

Then the movie Airplane; which I found hilarious on the one hand only to be disappointed when they mockingly killed disco. "Disco lives forever" until the plane knocked the tower down, that was funny at the time, but I didn't realize what was happening.

Next up Reagen, Iran Contra, Ollie North, exploding debt to cover tax cuts for the rich and powerful raping of the planet, the Orwellian "War on Drugs" etc. etc. and the world starts turning to fecal material.

I believe it was Napoleon Hill who once said "you are what you think" well if you watch David Letterman's "Great Moments in Presidential Speeches" skit, you will occasionally see Reagen uttering the words that go something like "the problem isn't more government, government is the problem" Reagen was true to his ideals, he made government the problem. He brought us Bush's daddy and from Bush the Lesser's fetid loins sprang the deceiver in power today and the worst presidency since records have been kept.


Peace to you, kpete.
