I had no plans to write this morning -- I'm going through some sort of 'molt' , the kind where the old is no longer serviceable but the new has undergone what I think is a mutation . There's a GREAT 'line' ; "Some people change, some people mutate." I love that . I am a mutation .
Yesterday while I was trying to raise a 500 rock into place on top of a much larger boulder, I had a sickening sensation that it was MY Generation that is responsible for the Present Day American Crisis of Truth Evaporation . Keep in Mind I AM a "Child of the 70's" the EARLY 70's to be specific --- I was at U.Conn. from 1970 to 1974 and was subject to the Hippie >Movement< which is code for a Drug Using Sub-Culture , and of course the Anti- War Movement, a response to Viet Nam . Normally I would shrug off such a consideration because of Because . I'm no fan of Hippies, I'm like "Cartman" of "South Park" notoriety whose distaste for all things Hippie defines his Existence . In my Mind, the Hippie Movement FAILED except for one HUGE component = The War Protest , and THAT may be the "Saving Grace" of Hippiedom, and then again, it may NOT .
2 words : Hippies became Yuppies . Not good .
