Who can argue with peace, But one man's peace is another's ACE on the EYES.--DEATH.

IN other words, not everyone plays win-win, golden rule. They will kill you unless they can enslave you by making you a repeat customer...

The 60's brought drugs to a kindergarten near you. Now the drug Lords are controlling our borders. I'm not pushing a party... I no longer believe what they do is what they say they stand for. Don't get me wrong....there is no 100% . But the Plowman Barry McGuire sang about is coming back ...You'll know when congressmen start going to jail on conspiracy to distribute , taking cartel money...

My headband was on too tight in the 60's so I am unclear on what your point is.

MY WORK STATION WAS TOO TIGHT ( F-111 CREW STATION , fORT WORTH, TEXAS.) I WAS 1-Y THEY DIDNT WANT ME...SO.. I decided to work for the Air force. In '67 nobody I knew was smoking ? but they were drinking like it was water and we were running a marathon...after I had all I could take ...I went back to school in Chicago....they were smoking on the streets, driving down the street people would hand over a joint to the car next to them, free no charge, Why ? Peace , love and what?

Now the best pay for the average guy is selling , running, pushing, importing, the free sh-t got the whole nation hooked...So who has the biggest lobby ...

I figure the borders mean nothing because the USA can not beat the cartels and there's too much cash in Washington coming from drugs. If they would tax drugs they could build a bridge instead of draging us over the cliff. So what is the point? You tell me.

I doubt a loose headband would make it any clearer

I have no clue what this thread is about.
I participated in the 60s & 70s and have the lack of memory to prove it.

Wistful longings for a nostalgic distortion of a dystopic society built on the true " hippie " philosophy of the early to mid 1960's? Or a realization that the "war on drugs" is a total scam and a prime reason the economy is heading over the cliff?
Those are the best two guesses I could come up with

They say if you remember the sixties you weren't really there, and I don't remember a damn thing about the sixties. Though that might have been because I was born in 1979.

Though I did watch Easy Rider a lot growing up and I remember listening to a lot of Strawberry Alarm Clock, and there was that one time we got ahold of some primo Panama Red and Orange Sunshine partying with the Hells Angels in La Honda...

In other more succinct words, let's legalize drugs for the betterment of the economy and capitalism especially since their is enough circumstantial evidence to claim that drug runners pay for government protection or ignorance and they go about being untaxed, unregulated and unofficial and there is a huge market for narcotics nationwide. Ah, and the War on Drugs is a hypocritical farce that creates a vile economy centered around corrections, rehabilitation, onerous enforcement and massive general corruption.

And drug distribution can be rather lucrative to the common man who would become an upright citizen if drugs were legalized.

Is that it?
