Way back in Nlovember 1966 "Stills" (I'm not sure if that is the Stills of Crosby, Stills and Nash, but I suspect that it is) wrote a song called "For What It's Worth" in a band called Buffalo Springfield. He was responding to a protest that had turned violent following the closing of the Pandora's Box nightclub on Sunset Strip. I don't know how to create a link to that song but if someone could post a link so that EVERYONE can hear Stills message, that would make this post complete. So help me out here Anons. I encourage every Anon who comes to this board today to take the time to play the song and listen to the lyrics because they could have been written while someone was observing the recent campus protests. I swear it is amazing that this is the song God wanted me to play this morning instead of my usual Christian music.
So let's keep a count of how many people actually respond when asked to do so. I'll be number one. Now who gets the unfortunate distinguishment of being #2?
If anyone knows a moderator, perhaps it should be pinned at the top like it was the first post of the day, all day, every day until we reach we at least ????? which will always reduce to the number 7.
The name Trump will always and forever vibrate to the number 7. The qualities of the number 7 is complete but not yet whole (the number 9 means whole - you have done it - you have won and that my friends is exactly where we are and in order to get to the number 9, we have to work a rather long and twisting path thru the number 8 which is infinity.
So let's see who all is paying attention. Post your "screen name" (whatever the fuck that is as I still don't understand the fucking difference between a username AND a screen name. Can anybody tell me what the fuck a "screen name is".
And with that I leave the challenge open. Unless the mods think that will give the demoncraps an idea of how many of us there are and don't want to release that information, but I say THIS IS WHAT WE HAVE FUCKING BEEN WAITING FOR - IT IS NOW OR FUCKING NEVER.
Great Song. Alvin Lee of Ten Years After - I'd love to change the world on the Space in Time album is so today also: first line - "everywhere is freaks and hairies - dykes and fairies - tell me where is sanity" This album - take a listen.

Thank you - that was very kind of you to include a link!
You are third in line of links I will be taking as soon as I finish listening to the album. Thanks so much for sharing.
It's almost freaky how it is mirror the late 60s. Seems like we have been there and done that.
I agree completely. They were turbulent times and full of sex, drugs and rock n roll - but not hateful to any groups except cops/military it took many years to overcome that on both sides.
What amazes me is how many of my (then) good friends who questioned everything the government said or did are now total sheep and believe the US government would not act against their own citizens. Sometimes I think I am just too old to be awake - very few people I know my age are.
IMO the 60s woke us up as a nation. The rebels of that day were the first real "anti-government" protesters. And you are correct, they were nonviolent. I don't remember many protests that were violent and the ones that were are written in the history books.
Why do you think your "good friends" went belly up? I was so fortunate to have the ultimate hippie as a BIL. He totally freaked my father out but my father's curiosity got the better of him and he really took the time to get to know my BIL and they developed a really close relationship. I'm like that; I enjoy just sharing what we know nonviolently.
