History of the Vietnam War. 58,000 Americans Died for Nothing... Something They Don't Teach in School Now... "Too Controversial" -

During the 1950s Americans went into a Mad Panic about Communists taking over the world. We built thousands of Nuclear Missiles and Fallout Shelters. The US Congress had witch hunts (Joe McCarthy-HUAC) to expose "Commies" who worked in The Hollywood Movie business and blacklisted folksingers that were leading our young people astray with Labor Union Organizing songs. 

During the height of this hysteria Vice President Richard Nixon went on Television and explained "The Domino Principle" while pointing to a map of Asia. His theory was... if we did not prevent Vietnam from becoming Communist, one by one those countries over there would turn Commie and soon Commies would take over the Entire World and We Would be fighting them at Our Border With Mexico...  Communism Would threaten the American Way of Life Right Here at Home!

During the height of this hysteria Vice President Richard Nixon went on Television and explained "The Domino Principle" while pointing to a map of Asia.

Dominos was a Family Game popular before the invention of Computers and Video Games... Since "Everyone" Knew what they were... the US Government Named our Foreign Policy for that Game... Because It Made the Policy Easy to Understand...

President Eisenhower and Kennedy sent advisors to help the South Vietnamese soldiers fight the North Vietnamese soldiers.

Maybe the laws IN CANADA have changed recently and Wikipedia is providing out of date info... HOWEVER, It states that Mushrooms are Legal WITH A PRESCRIPTION... Mushroom spore kits and grow kits are legal and are sold openly in stores or on the internet as the spores and kits themselves are legal. Psilocybin and psilocin are illegal to possess, obtain or produce without a prescription or license as they are schedule III under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legal_status_of_psilocybin_mushrooms

Lyrics to Great Sing Along Songs...

Yellow Submarine - The Beatles
In the town where I was born
there lived a man who sailed the sea.
And he told us of his life
in the land of submarines.
so he sailed up to the sun
'till we found a sea of green
and we lived beneath the waves
in the land of submarines...
We all live in a Yellow Submarine
a Yellow Submarine, a Yellow Submarine...
We all live in a Yellow Submarine
a Yellow Submarine, a Yellow Submarine...
and our friends are all aboard
many more of them live next door
and the band begins to play...
pa da da dump be dump be dum...
We all live in a Yellow Submarine
a Yellow Submarine, a Yellow Submarine...
We all live in a Yellow Submarine
a Yellow Submarine, a Yellow Submarine...
As we live a life of ease
every one of us has all we need.
Sky of Blue and Sea of Green
in our Yellow Submarine
We all live in a Yellow Submarine
a Yellow Submarine, a Yellow Submarine...
We all live in a Yellow Submarine
a Yellow Submarine, a Yellow Submarine...

Where have all the flowers gone?
Long time passing....
Where have all the flowers gone?
long time ago...
Where have all the flowers gone?
Young girls have picked them every one.
When will they ever learn?
When will they ever learn?
Where have all the young girls gone?
Long time passing...
Where have all the young girls gone?
long time ago...
Where have all the young girls gone?
gone for husbands every one.
When will they ever learn?
When will they ever learn?
Where have all the husbands gone?
Long time pasing...
Where have all the husbands gone?
Long time ago...
Where have all the husbands gone?
Gone for soldiers every one.
When will they ever learn?
When will they ever learn?
Where have all the soldiers gone?
Gone to Graveyards, everyone
Where have all the Graveyards gone?
Gone to flowers, everyone
[repeat first verse]

Blowing in the Wind - Bob Dylan
How many roads must a man walk down
Before you call him a man?
How many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand?
Yes, and how many times must the cannon balls fly
Before they're forever banned?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind
Yes, and how many years can a mountain exist
Before it's washed to the sea?
Yes, and how many years can some people exist
Before they're allowed to be free?
Yes, and how many times can a man turn his head
And pretend that he just doesn't see?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind
Yes, and how many times must a man look up
Before he can see the sky?
Yes, and how many ears must one man have
Before he can hear people cry?
Yes, and how many deaths will it take 'till he knows
That too many people have died?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind

This Land is Your Land - Woodie Guthrie
This land is your land, this land is my land
From the California to the New York island
From the Redwood Forest, to the gulf stream waters
This land was made for you and me
As I went walking that ribbon of highway
I saw above me that endless skyway
And saw below me that golden valley
This land was made for you and me
I roamed and rambled and I followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts
And all around me , a voice was sounding
This land was made for you and me
When the sun comes shining, then I was strolling
In the wheat fields waving and dust clouds rolling
The voice was chanting as the fog was lifting
This land was made for you and me
This land is your land and this land is my land
From the California to the New York island
From the Redwood Forest, to the gulf stream waters
This land was made for you and me
As I went walking, I saw a sign there
On the sign it said 'No Trespassing'
But on the other side it didn't say nothing
That side was made for you and me!
In the shadow of the steeple I saw my people
By the relief office, I seen my people
As they stood there hungry I stood there asking
Is this land made for you and me?
Nobody living can ever stop me
As I go walking that freedom highway
Nobody living can make me turn back
This land was made for you and me
When the sun comes shining, then I was strolling
In wheat fields waving and dust clouds rolling
The voice come chanting as the fog was lifting
This land was made for you and me

Puff the Magic Dragon - Peter, Paul and Mary
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honahlee
Little Jackie paper loved that rascal puff
And brought him strings and sealing wax and other fancy stuff
Oh, Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honahlee
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honahlee
Together they would travel on a boat with billowed sail
Jackie kept a lookout perched on puff's gigantic tail
Noble kings and princes would bow whene'er they came
Pirate ships would lower their flag when puff roared out his name
Oh, Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honahlee
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honahlee
A dragon lives forever but not so little boys
Painted wings and giant rings make way for other toys
One grey night it happened, Jackie Paper came no more
And puff that mighty dragon, he ceased his fearless roar
His head was bent in sorrow, green scales fell like rain
Puff no longer went to play along the cherry lane
Without his life-long friend, puff could not be brave
So Puff that mighty dragon sadly slipped into his cave
Oh, Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honahlee
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honahlee

For What it's Worth: Steven Stills
There's something happening here
What it is ain't exactly clear
There's a man with a gun over there
Telling me I got to beware
it's time we stop, children, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
There's battle lines being drawn
Nobody's right if everybody's wrong
Young people speaking their minds
Getting so much resistance from behind
It's time we stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
What a field-day for the heat
A thousand people in the street
Singing songs and carrying signs
Mostly say, hooray for our side
It's s time we stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life it will creep
It starts when you're always afraid
You step out of line, the man come and take you away
We better stop, hey, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
