Facial hair was taxed and non-payers were compulsorily shaved—

And Obama rubs his hands greedily saying "Excellent idea".

Very sad...

They were original hippies. Just kidding. Notice they almost lost their rye crop, but had plenty of Hemp, (marijuana), seeds they didn’t have to worry about losing. Amazing actually considering many here claim there’s no use for cannabis in any shape form or fashion. Tell that to the Lykov’s.
