Me, I "helped" run a free store, had 0 respect for authority, to me respect has to be earned. The fact that the draconian laws on the books at the time that were strategically enforced to enforce social order. This created a huge criminal class as many folks started thinking about the stupidiy of it. Ordinary folks who were labelled criminal and prosecuted created a backlash against of any form of government. Folks who got older turned the free stores and soup lines into cushy government jobs with pensions. The dream faded as the hair grew grey and the bellies bigger. Thru out that time there predators who saw a large flock joined the movements for their own uses created charlies crew, la famiglia, AB etc as the dark underside grew. Me I always kept my own council and learned laughed and loved. The dream to me stopped at altamonte, speed and smack replaced shrooms,weed,lsd and mda(ectasy). The violence escalated, racial integration was halted in the minds of a lot of folks because of the violence. I lived on the dark side for a while and travelled greatly because when you see the high and mighty are no brighter, smarter and are more afraid than you are, opportunity is greated.
