Yes, and if I have it correct what we had and have no more, perhaps is the key to passionate response: to feel and witness our world being taken apart and how it includes or doesn’t include you and I is stirring.
The problem escalated during the sixties but what we have today though very problematic to us and not to the ‘young’ is due to history and relevance.
I cannot understand what I really am not passionate about. Karl Rove is exacting in his dismantling and bashing. We are also exacting, passionate but more focused with our ‘World Peace’ and ‘fix it’ mentality. Our passion runs higher because we tend to focus on the extremeness of humanity: the higher self, the lower self.
Unlike, the dismantling of freedom which we can definitely say that we not only witnessed, but we have ‘played’ in its playground: unlike the youth who are unfortunately building their experiences (their playground) without the help of a larger beatnik, civil rights movement, hippie community that focused on anti-government issues, Love, Peace, and the Betterment of Humanity.
If the focus is only on attainment of a desire, based on money and little else, we have the ‘New Yuppies’, peppered with a dash of ‘New Age’ only: Little encouragement, for a mass that is a small percentage.
Again, it was and still is the right time to promote your HAIR again, Mr. Butler.
It is always right to fight for the proper vehicle no matter what…Let the politics, the focus being on the movement once again…what the hey-we’ve only got one life, and this experience (Bush Dynasty) is part of a short term: change its course because you must realize that you are still the Master Steersmen.

Like many I awaited the election of the new Pope. It was impossible to avoid paying attention as that was dominating the media. Quite a show it was. Very hard to beat the Vatican at presentation. Few do a better job.
I was really disappointed with the selection. I had hoped they were going to pick someone from South America where clergy had led the struggle to raise people out of poverty. Well it just went the reverse. When they elected Ratzinger they elevated the prelate who was the enforcer of religious power. The Inquistion could begin again.
What we are seeing is another step back, a reaction to fear. Benedict XVI reportedly was influenced by his witnessing local student uprisings in the 1960's. He took these as threatening the status quo of the established order. Opinion various as to whether those riots in Bavaria were violent or simply expressions of youthful demands.
This is another example of the negative effect of violence as opposed to organized and peaceful actions. The practices of Ghandi and King have had greater success in making changes for the betterment of mankind. On the other hand the Yippie engineered riots at the Democratic Convention in 1968 gave us Nixon as president. One can suspect the dark forces are really pushing for violence to create reactions of oppression.
Not for a moment do I not feel that there are many causes around the world which desperately need to be corrected. The major cause is freedom. This papal election as that of Nixon and certainly Bush have not advanced the cause of freedom. We are regressing in having leaders who use fear as a method to regain or retain their political control.
The energy of youth needs to be abetted and promoted in a way to have the young realize that honey gets more than vinegar. It takes patience and persistence to achieve the freedom everyone desires. America was settled by those who sought freedom from persecution of religious beliefs. That is why church and state were to be kept separate in the U.S. constitution.
I use a quotation which says it all and I wish to repeat:
The Battle "There are two great powers and they've been fighting since time began. Every advance in human life, every scrap of knowledge and wisdom and decency we have has been torn by one side from the teeth of the other. Every%
"Freedom"
