When I Was a Kid... We Had The "Weather Underground" Anti-War Protesters... Why Don't We Have People Like That Today?

While Many People Protested against the Vietnam War... One extreme group felt that "Bringing the War Home" was a good plan... Bombing locations in the USA where Evil was Being Done... At the time, I thought it was a bad idea. But maybe I was wrong...

The Weatherman exploded bombs at the Pentagon and Defense Contractors Offices on college campuses... In order to give them the message that what they were doing was Evil... And we're not going to take it anymore... 

They kept on bombing the buildings of evil people until one of their bombs blew up their own home... Where they made the bombs... 

I understand the basic concept because if you look at it... Monsanto made a fortune selling Napalm and Agent Orange... And Bell Helicopter sold a lot of Huey's - also known as Puff the Magic Dragon...

They took their name of the organization from the Bob Dylan song lyric... "You don't need to be a weatherman to know which way the wind blows."

Weatherman—the Weather Underground Organization—was the most famous group of young people committed to revolutionary violence to emerge out of the late 1960s. In protest of American racism and the Vietnam War, they detonated more than two dozen dynamite bombs between 1970 and 1975, and hit some spectacular targets, including the Pentagon, the State Department, and the U.S. Capitol Building. For years, leaders of the group such as Bill Ayers, Bernardine Dorhn, and Mark Rudd appeared on FBI wanted posters in every post office in the country. The charges that the federal government brought against Weatherman carried scores of years in prison as penalties. Weatherman’s outlaw legend has endured to this day—surfacing, for instance, in a 2002 documentary that was nominated for an Academy Award, and in the 2012 feature The Company You Keep, starring Robert Redford as a Weatherman veteran haunted by his past and Julie Christie as a Weatherman veteran still committed to revolution...

Firefighters battle large blaze at Chevron refinery in Southern California... 

Was it ARSON? ECO-TERRORISM?

https://abcnews.go.com/US/large-fire-erupts-chevron-refinery-southern-california/story?id=126171692

When I'm seated at the computer, I observe this crepe myrtle tree out the window... 

If you pay attention to TV news, apparently, people far away from here are behaving crazy and their lives suck because of their insane behavior... Here in California's Central Valley... Life is pretty good... 

The people next door had a new fence built to replace the old falling down fence... And we had long soaking rain in the morning... So I looked at the Cal Fire map and the only places that are burning in California are up in the Trinity Alps between Eureka and Redding... If you know your geography, that's about 20 miles from our home in Eureka... So while those wildfires are bad for Bigfoot... And bad for the Indians on the Hoopa reservation.... Victoria is not affected...

And I read on the Cal Fire map page that... While the federal government is shut down, the state of California is still funding Cal Fire... In case we need to rescue the citizens of California... 

and SE Said:
Great photos of the Wild Mouse! I remember it from when I was a kid. Some time in the 70s its name changed to the Jet Star, and that's what it was called throughout the 80s, and I rode it countless times. Nowadays it's a whole new ride with a whole new name, and I've been hesitant to ride it because it looks a bit scary, and I'm not as adventurous as I was when I was younger when it comes to rides. But maybe next time I'm at the Boardwalk, I'll get up the nerve to ride it.

and I Replied:
My father and I rode the wild mouse when I was a child. After that ride he said: " I'm never riding a roller coaster ever again. Next time you get another kid to go along with you to feel the other seat." and in fact, he never did write a roller coaster ever again!

Now that I'm 71 years of age... I don't think I would ever ride a roller coaster ever again... It's just not fun... I remember one of the first times I smoked marijuana... I rode the giant Dipper... And that was an outrageous experience... Glad I did it but damn!
