Where's the Change?

Top if you want a really crazy spiritual philosophy/lifestyle/religion you should check out the Grateful Dead Family. They hardcore members of that group are NUTS. Cypress likes to pretend to be one but I've seen some truly dedicated dudes. They are almost like monks in a way. They give up all their posessions, bank accounts, and families and just travel around the country living on the hospitality of other Deadheads around the country. There is an intensely spiritual side to it also. I've been to one of their Acid Rituals and it is some fucked up shit. It's kind of like a more intense, less religious version of rhasta with LSD instead of pot.
 
tried LSD while bartending once or twice and did not like it.
I am a former non practicing Catholic kid who's family was thrown out of the church because of temp lack of funds.
this had a significant affect on a 10yr old kid.
I may be the least serious Rasta alive, JAH seems cooler to me than a christian God who has had millions killed in his name.

Huh, my bf sings that song, Rubber Soul to me sometimes. It always makes me laugh. It's a big deal to men though, if they let you drive their car. They are so cute.

Are you referring the song "Drive My Car" that appears on the Rubber Soul album? That song is about a woman letting a man be her chauffeur, not about a man letting a woman drive her car. Oh, and "baby you can drive may car" is a rather obvious euphemism but it is nevertheless a big deal to men.

LOL. Yeah that is the one I mean, that is the part he always sings. But he sings it about his car. I didn't know it was a euphemism for anything though. He has an automatic transmission.

I don't really have a fully formed opinion about torture in regards to national security. But I will say this, in my personal experience in my previous line of work I have found that torture will cause you to reveal anything and everything you know along with some things you don't.

Torture only makes you say what you think the torturer wants to hear.

Robert Fisk: Torture does not work, as history shows
The Americans are just apeing their predecessors in the Inquisition

EIGHT LESSONS OF TORTURE

1. Torture does not yield reliable information
2. Torture does not yield information quickly
3. Torture will not be used only against the guilty
4. Torture has a corrupting effect on the perpetrator
5. Torture has never been confined to narrow conditions
6. Psychological torture is damaging
7. Stress and duress techniques are forms of torture
8. We cannot use torture and still retain the moral high ground

I would add a 9th .. Torture opens the door for your own to be tortured.
 
he said' bob marley almost had a viruolist way of thinking" he believed that you can cure-acutually cure hate and racsim, by injecting it with love and music." "two days before bob marley was supposed to perform he was shot. "two days later he walked on stage and performed" and they asked him in a interview why didnt he rest, and he said"the people that are trying to make the world worse never take a day off , why should i. light up the darkness"
 
Well I'll rent it and give it a shot.

I've got mad respect for Marley, but I guess because I am overexposed to his music and his followers I get a little tired of the worship. This Onion article hits at what I mean.

Bob Marley Rises From Grave To Free Frat Boys From Bonds Of Oppression
http://www.theonion.com/content/node/41242


WILLIAMSBURG, VA—In an unprecedented effort to fight injustice, reggae music legend Bob Marley, dead since 1981, rose from his grave in Jamaica early Sunday to free his most devoted followers, American college fraternity members, "from the bonds of oppression."

Marley's recordings, which originally raised awareness of the Rastafarian faith and the plight of underprivileged Jamaicans and Africans, have taken on an even deeper meaning as the Greek fraternal system, a maligned, misunderstood minority group itself, has fervently embraced the driving, soulful music.
 
Yo I guess I would fall in that type of older Yuppie white Rasta

I doubt Marley would have only wanted the message kept in Jamaca
