I'd like to announce the official Hippie Protester to Iraq Petition (http://www.petitiononline.com/hpti/).
To: U.S. Congress
The anti-war crowd out there is loud and boisterous these days. Among their complaints are that the war is all about oil, and how it will just serve to feed more money into the various American megacorporations that support the "corrupt" military. They usually go on to say that George W. Bush is an idiot and has no clue what he's doing to the world outside of his own selfish agenda.
To put it mildly, this is all utter horseshit.
The average war protester seems to think he or she knows all about American motives with regards to Iraq. They know why GW wants to go in, they know why he wants Saddam out of there and they know why it's all so very wrong.
Do any of them stop to think that perhaps Bush and his many military, security and intelligence advisors MIGHT know more about the real situation than they do? Do the protesters stop to think that electing someone to office, then whining, complaining and second guessing them in public protests is counter productive?
I say these people should and have some faith in their elected officials. They put them there after all. Have faith in their motives and abilities, and have faith that those in power know a hell of a lot more about the current world situation then the average kid with a sign on the sidewalk.
This faith won't happen without impetus however, hence this petition. I'm suggesting that America take up a free and open "collection" to help these poor sorry bastards learn the truth. The money collected will be used to buy any and all protesters who wish to take part a ONE WAY ticket to Iraq, or the dictatorship of their choice. (with Iraq being given preference of course since that's what they're usually protesting).
Perhaps after being flown to Iraq and left there indefinitely they'll gain a better understanding of Saddam's methods of controlling his people, a better understanding of what 12 years of UN sanctions has done to the country and above all a healthier respect for the country in which they live.
Given enough signatures perhaps we can campaign those in power to take up such a collection… after all you know they’d be all for it.
Please, sign below and lets ship these hippie protesters to Iraq.
Thanks,

Baaa..that an over used quote from some junkie on a bad acid trip.
Howdy Santa!

Do you have the faintest idea of what acid does?

Well, maybe a BAD acit trip removes colors...who knows...

And the average reactionary seems to know what the average War Protester is thinking? ... dumb article for a like audience.
And maybe "Nazi" was a little strong.... plug in "robot" instead.
No such thing as a "bad acid trip" Steve. As far as I can remember anyway. :)
-
I only ever had one acid trip, and that nearly killed me. Never again. ;)
To the writer of that letter:
Do you ever stop to think?
-
umm MT quite a few protesters carried around placards, big signs, that told the world what they were thinking. While I do not support the invasion of Iraq some those placards and "man on the street" interviews sure portrayed those "peace niks" as nothing more then Bush haters.
But thats all propanganda...........right?

Which one of you guys is Neville?

LOL, my dad told me about one of his. *true story to follow*
He was going from party 1 to party 2, and for some reason he figured it would be a good idea to take an LSD trip "for the road". So he did.
*blackout*
He finds himself driving his car on the Autobahn between Munich and Stuttgart (he lived in Munich at the time) doing something like 150 km/h while looking fascinated at the treetops lining the road.
He pulled over and walked out on a field, laid down in the grass where he "met ET and several other space aliens".
That was the last acid trip he ever took. He figured if he lost control so bad that he could get into his car and drive several miles in blackout mode, it wasnt worth it.
The late 60ies/early 70s must have been weird...

My last time went something like this.......
I was on the Central Coast of California near San Simeon (Hearst's Castle area), a very beautiful coastline. On the coast are these trees called Monterey Cypress. They grow leaned over due to the prevailing winds.
Well I was having a fine old time looking at stuff on the shore when I saw this line of Cypress trees. They were all bent over.... but I felt no wind. They were bent too far!! I must be in a hurricane!!! But I can't feel the wind!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH H!!!
I quit after that. :)
-
I never ate that stuff, but some friends did, and once I escorted them to Disneyland after they ate a lot of it. One of them had never been there, so things like the haunted house really got him going. Also we saw a bearded lady, I toejam you not.

I am an incredibly deep, intellectual always thought provoking person.
Everything I say is new, and I'd never stoop so low as to use the words of others to describe a situation.
Basically I am one of those megaintellectuals. Yeah, that's it.
Overused by junkie on bad acid trip?
Now WHY do you think *I* would be uttering it, then.
Connect the dots, dude. Far out.
:D
