S. Army Spc. Mark Wilkerson better get used to all that hugging and kissing. There are plenty of lonely guys waiting for him in prison.

1. They are burned out hippies.

2. They are trying to recreate and relive the glory days.

3. They can't get a real job with that look.

without an honorable discharge he probably won't get his Chapter 30 MGIB benefits...however, if his point of entry/home of record was Texas, and he gets general discharge, he can use the Hazlewood Exemption, which will provide to him 150 semester credit hours of college credit at a Texas state supported institution....

In the photo where she is touching the child and the one where she is signing a book, she is wearing a black T-shirt with arabic scroll on it. Very telling.

Isn't that the truth!!

My husband & I were in Middlebury, Vermont weekend before Labor day when we happened upon a "peace" demonstration on the town green. There were less than a dozen peacenicks, and not one of them under 50 - and this is a college town.

Not sure if it's true, but I was told the Arabic writing says "we will not be silent". This is the same t-shirt a Middle Eastern passenger on a flight out of NY was forced to change a week or so ago.

They are still trying to live the life back when.... Here's a little on Brunley, 67 yo from New Mexico.

Why do you think these pygmies were unable to take down Bush in the election?
Well, they stole both elections. The head of the election commission in Ohio was also head of the reelect Bush campaign. The same thing happened in Florida with Kathleen Harris. She was in charge of Elect Bush for President. Can you spell “conflict of interest”? Then Diebold, the man who makes the machines used in Ohio, that leave no paper trail, that have proprietary wiring in them so nobody’s allowed to peek inside, which they can change the results from the street with a cellphone, happens to be a ranger who donated $100,000 to the Bush campaign and is on record as saying “we have to win this election.” Joseph Stalin said, “It’s not who votes that counts. It’s who counts the votes that counts.”

What do you think will happen in 2008?
I don’t think we’ll have elections in 2008. These people that are in power right now, like rats in heat.
They lost the last two and that didn’t seem to cramp their style. I have a line in one of my poems:

In the recent Presidential election,
Which one man clearly won.
The high court crowned the loser,
Now he roams the world with his gun.
To the world it’s a frightening spectre,
An atomic Attila the Hun.

We could have had Gore or Nader,
But instead it’s Darth Vader,
It looks like Star Wars has begun.

So what I expect--in some circles the poets are considered prophets--and my prophecy is between now and the midterm election, we will have a serious attack, which will be blamed on the Arab world, al Qaeda and Osama bin Laden. Possibly a chemical plant somewhere with a bit of a dirty bomb mixed in and thousands will lose their lives. If you look at the Patriot Act, they have this red code which automatically suspends the Constitution and instills martial law.

They give me flashbacks of the 60's; I despised them then, and I despise them now.

I am convinced they didn't get what they wanted in the 60's, and are back to try to finish this country off now.

He turned thirty-five last Sunday
In his hair he found some gray
But he still ain't changed his lifestyle
He likes it better the old way
So he grows a little garden in the back yard by the fence
He's consuming what he's growing nowadays in self defense
He gets out there in the twilight zone
Sometimes when it just don't make no sense

He gets off on country music
Cause disco left him cold
He's got young friends into new wave
But he's just too friggin' old
And he dreams at night of Woodstock and the day John Lennon died
How the music made him happy and the silence made him cry
Yeah he thinks of John sometimes
And he has to wonder why

Chorus:
He's an old hippie and he don't know what to do
Should he hang on to the old
Should he grab on to the new
He's an old hippie...his new life is just a bust
He ain't trying to change nobody
He's just trying real hard to adjust

He was sure back in the sixties that everyone was hip
Then they sent him off to Vietnam on his senior trip
And they forced him to become a man while he was still a boy
And in each wave of tragedy he waited for the joy
Now this world may change around him
But he just can't change no more

Chorus

Well, he stays away a lot now from the parties and the clubs
And he's thinking while he's joggin' 'round
Sure is glad he quit the hard drugs
Cause him and his kind get more endangered everyday
And pretty soon the species will just up and fade away
Like the smoke from that torpedo...just up and fade away

Chorus

I think that's called desertion not AWOL.
