Me too. Have been a left wing whacko for 1/2 century. Over the course of time, I have seen the fake and phony exploiting these ideas of peace, love, etc.
Rachel Dolezal is a good example. I could never understand her but she now fits into this new type of ?????? whatever it is.
There are those that do the sweat lodges for money. The appropriation of the clothing, spirituality , music and on and on for money and or fake personnas.
When I see all of this cultural appropriation it makes me cringe and wonder what the person is all about. And now since the Hart nightmare, I am even more cynical.
Using children in this way really gets me. I wonder if it is a motivation for some of the movie stars we read about.
Human, you and I are in the same age group...
The times, music and electricity from our generation has been corporatized. What was once spontaneous is now big business.
I remember fun town celebrations with kids, but no children were present during the Vietnam or the police brutality protests in the 70's...
Bbm. Burning Man is the penultimate of all roads lead to the multicultural oneness of the perspective of the global, tribal unity, celebrity lead, SM events posted abound, tons of money. Who knows what is next.
Mind you, I think some of the burning man creations are just over the top awesome. But let's recognize it for what it is rather than some PR extravaganza... It's a drug fest in the middle of the desert.
I have one friend who went there and never came back the same... And not in a good way. What drugs? Where do they come from? Good lord, someone jumped into the fire last year.
So I ask this Q, because I admit I did LSD in the 70's, what are the drugs of choice? My experience was always with friends in small groups, experimenting. I cannot imagine doing this drug in its purest chemical form, or mushrooms at some festival?
And, don't know, maybe KZ could weigh in on psychedelics, how long they would stay in ones system? I'm curious.
I say this with judgement for parents... Drugs stop with kids. And if they don't, then what? Is MJ a problem? Sure is fifty times more powerful than when I grew up. Mushroom soup? Or windowpane?
I suspect, the silence from perhaps many communities is because so much of the PR of free love is a cover, for drugs, much like it was in my day.
Lots of drugs, great veggies to counter the side effects, earth movement, grow pot, solar, off the grid... Greatful dead!!!
So, here's my Q... What drug of choice for J&S? Is it possible they escaped? Or maybe their family needs to be notified,first?
