"A fool there was and he made his prayer (Even as you
or I!) To a rag and a bone and a hank of hair, (We called her the woman who did
not care), But the fool he called her his lady fair— (Even as you or I!)
"...The Vampire by Rubyard Kipling
Back in the late 1960s into the 1970s younger America went
around smoking grass drinking and openly casting aside social responsibility. Having
a party whenever they could as cheaply as they could to the beat of Rhyme and Blues - Rock and Roll, music.
The
United States sent the country military into the Vietnam War then and all the happy
hippies did not want to go into a war. So they rebelled by justifying how they
felt seeking to get on the right side of the social moral calculus. And because
they were so morally superior then the solders fighting in that war. The
hippies greeted the American solders coming home from that violent war by
spitting on them. And grinding their righteous teeth at all the baby killers who
were apart of the fighting in Vietnam.
Free
sex and free love was the pot smoking hippie’s credo, to the rest of the world
back then.
Now
in 2014 the younger American people are gathering openly to once again smoke
grass (marijuana) much like all those other hippies did back in the 1960-70s.
Those
people were wrong to cast aside social responsibility back then. Just like the
people gathering in Colorado openly smoking dope in public are wrong about
doing the same thing now. Not because that I say so, but infect because it is wrong
to not be responsible to our social responsibility, and to simply not treat
them so careless.
All of what they are doing seem so
much like Rubyard Kipling poem to me. "A fool there was and he made his prayer
(Even as you or I!) To a rag and a bone and a hank of hair, (We called her the
woman who did not care), But the fool he called her his lady fair— (Even as you
or I!) "

High hopes
in Mile-High City as marijuana activists party in Denver

Like St.
Patrick's Day in Boston or New Year's Eve
in New York City, April 20 seems to have a found an epicenter in Denver.
The annual global celebration of marijuana drew tens of
thousands of people this weekend to festivals in Denver, the capital of the
first U.S. state to make the drug available for recreational use to anyone 21 and
older.
The annual celebration has fallen on April 20, or 4/20,
because a group of rebellious California teenagers in the 1970s supposedly
decided to meet up at 4:20 p.m. each day after school to smoke marijuana. The
legend spread, and the date and time become synonymous with the push to
celebrate the mood-altering green plant.
