The Candym... I mean Government Can...

Thanks to Tim Hawkins comedy... Yoo Ha!! The people is rising....


However, contrary to the macho female speaker in the video below: NO, there does NOT have to be bloodshed to make Secession happen - not if you do it NON-violently and only among those who want to secede, not forcing anyone who does not want to. See Secession.net.

A Brave Woman on Women's Equality Day

Yes, I was invited to Woodstock

It was August of 1969. I was living in Cambridge, MA, starting my 9 month career as a pot smoking love child. But I wasn't quite hippy enough to accept the invitation of a couple of guys to go to some music concert way the hell across Massachusetts and into New York State. Never having gone camping - or had much of a desire to do so - I just wasn't motivated. And that's how I never made it the 1969 Woodstock Festival which we're all reminiscing about this weekend!
