Man is born free yet everywhere he is in chains (voltaire I think I may well be wrong though)

Freedom is the ability to say 2+2=4
We shall meet in a place where there is no darkness(George Orwell)

To abolish God! said Gregory, opening the eyes of a fanatic. We do not only want to upset a few depotisms and police regulations, that sort of anarchism does exist but it is a mere branch of noncomformists. We dig deeper and we blow you higher. We wish to deny all those arbitary distinctions of vice and vitue, honour and treachery, uponwhich mere rebel base themselves. The silly sentementalists of the French receloution talked of the Rights of man! We hate Rights and we hate Wrongs. We have abolished Right and Wrong. (G.KCheskerton)

History is hard to know, because so much of it is hired bullshit, but even without even being sure of history it seems entirely reasonable to think that every now and then the energy of a whole generation comes to a head in a long flash line for reasons nobody really understands and which in retrospect, what actually happened ......(further down page cont).. there was madness in any direction at any hour. If not across the bay, then up Golden gate or down 101 to los altos or la honda. You could strike sparks anywhere. There was a fantastic universal sense whatever we were doing was right that we were winning. And that, I think was the handle- the sense of the inevitable victory over the forces of old and evil. Not in any mean or military sense; we didnt need that. Our energy simply prevail. There was no point to fighting- on our side or theirs. We had all the momentum, we were riding the crest of a high and beautiful wave.
So now less than five years later you can go up on a steep hill in vegas and look west and with the right kind of eyes you can almost see where the high water mark- that place where the wave finally broke and rolled back. (Hunter S Thompson)
