"the people" are a confused and frustrated bunch who found that they were
being screwed and got fed up enough to change the status quo...when they
see how bad they're going to lose under ronny raygun they'll try another
tack -- back to radicalism again, maybe...

doesn't sound so bad to me -- the hippies and the flower children believed
that with enough love they could change the world...the equivalent move-
ment today (the punk movement) grows out of the defeat of the hippie
movement by the establishment -- we can't change the world, so fuck it...

while the police were out beating 14-year-old kids carrying flowers
and singings songs with their nightsticks it was "the people" and
"the Christians" who cheered them on...(ask someone who was there
on that fateful day in 1969 at the Arlington Street Church)...

					larry...

especially people who care about strangers,  
who say they care about social injustice.
do you only care about the bleeding crowd?
how about a needing friend?
