at night light candles, and hold up a peace sign for PD by forming a human peace sign -
and light the way for a cure!

any ideas that brings HOPE -

we can hum - or sing
this oldie -

The beat goes on, the beat goes on
Drums keep pounding a rhythm to the brain
La de da de de, la de da de da

Charleston was once the rage, uh huh
History has turned the page, uh huh
The mini skirts the current thing, uh huh
Teenybopper is our newborn king, uh huh

[Chorus]

The grocery store's the super mart, uh huh
Little girls still break their hearts, uh huh
And men still keep on marching off to war
Electrically they keep a baseball score

[Chorus]

Grandmas sit in chairs and reminisce
Boys keep chasing girls to get a kiss
The cars keep going faster all the time
Us Bums still cry hey buddy, have you got a dime

and the beat goes on -and the beat goes on... ;)



I am so tired of hearing about -"The War on every freakin' thing" :eek:

lets peacefully and calmly find the cure,

let's be Peace Patients for PD Cures

Inventors of calm, and quicker resolve.

Serenity citizens for healing medicines, ;)

hush, the madness, Peace talks for PD
if we want change - lets change our thoughts about how to heal...

dear vickie
 

so far lets see what we have gained - this is not meant to be cruel as
vickie is a sweetie :grouphug:

well - we have gotten more attention for our specific : malady: but that may be because of
Muhammad Ali and Michael J. Fox and the awareness from many patient advocates...other than that -Amgen stold the GDNF and George Bush will not let us have any kind of scientific research, because of the embryonic stance -
that he has on killing the unborn
but IMHO -
let the babies be born and turn 18 then it's okay with Bush...to kill :confused:

actually - I was speaking of the reflection of the USA as being a people of selfish hateful warmongers, did anyone hear what they did during Miss Universe Pagent of which - I am not a fan of???
-in specific the people of Mexico boo-ed Miss USA.

the people of the World are associating us - USA with Mr.George W's baloney for brains~ :rolleyes:
and not only that -but what I want more than our very own illness cured...

is for there to be NO MORE WAR's no more soldiers killed.
I would like to have our Constitutional Rights back in theory, as if we ever had any??

what are we to leave our children to inherit -"The Wind"?

because the in your face type of approach can be very peaceful, and kind
that is the way I see advocacy - to share our concerns with the real people behind the titles of congressman, senator, or even sometimes the president.
so far not much forthcoming for cures, or health care for that matter...

peace -

watch the trailer for -SICKO by michael moore
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0386032/...ay-E32877-10-2

the overwhelming reaction to michael moores film at the Cannes festival

I was implicating more - supporting the vote for the Candidate who replaces
him - sooner than later - a peace president!

One on One conversations always result in TWO knowing.

Thousands of people gathering result in thousands more wanting to know what ilt was all about.

It used to be easier when you could decide what the agendas af anyone was but now the bare faced lying has put us back to the age of watching facial expressions and believing no one complaetely.

Now I see the pursing of the lips and the pulling to one side of the face and I see the snear and disbelieve every word. Now i miss the truth when it is told. Like Paula says it is Back to the Future and it don't look good for us.

Stay on your path Tena you seem to know where you are headed.

Peace

A pop group called Country Joe and the fish sang this anti Vietnam war protest song at Woodstock in front of 400 000 people, I think it was something like 1969(I am sure Rick would know he knows everything lol). Simple lyrics but they were spot on then and they are spot on now only difference being the perceived enemy (communism then). Their web site claims that they stopped the Vietnam war:

Yeah, come on all of you, big strong men,
Uncle Sam needs your help again.
He's got himself in a terrible jam
Way down yonder in Vietnam
So put down your books and pick up a gun,
We're gonna have a whole lotta fun.

And it's one, two, three,
What are we fighting for ?
Don't ask me, I don't give a damn,
Next stop is Vietnam;
And it's five, six, seven,
Open up the pearly gates,
Well there ain't no time to wonder why,
Whoopee! we're all gonna die.

Well, come on generals, let's move fast;
Your big chance has come at last.
Gotta go out and get those reds —
The only good commie is the one who's dead
And you know that peace can only be won
When we've blown 'em all to kingdom come.

And it's one, two, three,
What are we fighting for ?
Don't ask me, I don't give a damn,
Next stop is Vietnam;
And it's five, six, seven,
Open up the pearly gates,
Well there ain't no time to wonder why
Whoopee! we're all gonna die.

Huh!

Well, come on Wall Street, don't move slow,
Why man, this is war au-go-go.
There's plenty good money to be made
By supplying the Army with the tools of the trade,
Just hope and pray that if they drop the bomb,
They drop it on the Viet Cong.

And it's one, two, three,
What are we fighting for ?
Don't ask me, I don't give a damn,
Next stop is Vietnam.
And it's five, six, seven,
Open up the pearly gates,
Well there ain't no time to wonder why
Whoopee! we're all gonna die.

Well, come on mothers throughout the land,
Pack your boys off to Vietnam.
Come on fathers, don't hesitate,
Send 'em off before it's too late.
Be the first one on your block
To have your boy come home in a box.

And it's one, two, three
What are we fighting for ?
Don't ask me, I don't give a damn,
Next stop is Vietnam.
And it's five, six, seven,
Open up the pearly gates,
Well there ain't no time to wonder why,
Whoopee! we're all gonna die.

This really doesn't have much to do with anything, but back in the 70's, a band I was in played with Country Joe and Steppenwolf. Of course, we blew them both off the stage...

:circlelove: :Demonstration:

Peace...

I feel that our generation somehow lost our direction. Perhaps those that were destined for greatness forgot about the cost of peace. Perhaps those of us in the trenches forgot that there was a time when we worked for peace.

Maybe now is the little glitch in the matrix, the little hiccup in the scheme of things that will let us older hippies regroup and obtain what we promised, hoped and begged for way back then.

Yes, you got the 'Nam song right. My BIL, fresh from there used to sing that. It sounded like you were witnessing a window into hell.

Remember the calmer, but sad song called, "Where Have All the Flowers Gone?" Its gentle lyrics and childlike song seemed rather wistfull, but when it got to the dead soldiers it always made me cry.

Peace

Thanks for posting the lyrics Chris; that was a good song and one of many protesting the war. They have me thinking about the differences between then and now. Do you think they would let a song like that be played on the radio now? Have we PCed ourselves out of free speech?

(PC - politically correct)
