Hells YEAH! pHleGm hits the nail on the head
***The following are not my words, but an interesting look at
another angle of the Woodstock Phenomenon I lifted from
another website:
"If Woodstock itself was not the epitome of social protest and activism,
the times surrounding it were. There was an immoral and unjustified
war and occupation a half a world away, there was a culture of
government spying on its citizens and invasion of their privacy
and there was a growing dichotomy in society. In short, eerily
similar to what seems to be the case today. And there were
people protesting. Loud and large. Out in the streets, on college
campuses, in the public square. There was a lot of juice to the
dissent and it was led by the youth, college students and academics.
Where are they today ? Where has the soul and conscience of our
society gone? Where is the dissent; where is the beef? It is curiously
and conspicuously absent from our analogous circumstance. There is
so much wrong, on so many fronts; and yet there is so much talent and
ability. People are sick and tired of the state of the nation; and yet the
ability and gumption to mobilize and make a stand seems lost.
Why?"
