I'm pretty sure this memory is real and not the result of a dream. On one night, probably during Fall quarter 1974, many of us waited around the circle at Dorm A for the arrival of Elliot Richardson.

Richardson was, of course, the former U.S. Attorney General who had been fired the year before by President Nixon as part of the infamous "Saturday Night Massacre," yet another sorry episode in Nixon's desperate flailing to cover his guilt in the Watergate scandal. As a result, Richardson was one of the few members of the Nixon administration to emerge as a hero to the general public.

Why Richardson was supposed to be on campus in the first place was never explained. And why he was supposed to be visiting the circle at Dorm A is equally baffling. I think it allegedly was connected to a visit with Gov. Evans. But in any event a lot of us were hanging around the circle. I think it was an En attendant Godot situation.

And to add another layer of folklore to this, supposedly Richardson did show up, but it was in the wee hours of the morning.

I just listened to Bush's speech on the Iraqi election and the state of our efforts in Iraq. I didn't hear anything that he hasn't said before. I didn't hear anything that would lead me to believe that he is going to listen to any other views. He continues to be insular and closed off to dissent.

Bush made no mention of the fact that he illegally authorized the government to spy on Americans, which republicans and democrats alike have aired major concern over. Republicans such as Graham and Specter have denounced the program, which Bush has reauthorized over 45 times allowing over 1700 American phones to be tapped. Republicans and Democrats alike are calling for an official investigation into Bush's actions.

If there is one thing we should all be able to agree on, it should be that American citizens should be protected from illegal search and siezure. Even in a time of war, there should be judicial oversight that limits what the president can authorize using executive priviledge. Bush's bypassing of judicial process is a sign of blatant disregard for the Bill of Rights, and our democratic system.

Summer quarter at Evergreen was always a little slow, and the College took the opportunity to lease part of the facility to outside groups during the June-August time. At some point in the second half of the 1970s, someone with either a sick sense of humor, or political cluelessness, leased the campus out to two groups simultaneously. One group was a camp for overweight girls, and the other was a training school for high school cheerleaders. It just made the place a little bit more surreal than usual.

What'r Celtic Body Prayers??? If you wanna know follow me here: Lie flat on yer back on the dirt and visualize emptiness. Then visualize yer earliest thoughts. Then wiggle your toes and begin sensorizing your senses from your feet up your calves into your hips onto the chaka and all the way up to the head, then begin to grow from the dirt like a tree. Lift your hips into the air real slow. As you rise into the air say: "I am the strongest tree!" Then be standing and begin to gently sway like the strongest tree. Sway with the wind. Connect your mindframe to the essence of your tree. Become the tree, because you are the tree. Feel your ancient roots. Wiggle your toes while you stand and send tingles up your tree-like-bones. Next start waving your arms up and down like a bird and proceed to "unground" yourself as you prepare to fly into the air and say: "I am the purest bird!" Fly with your arms then drop your arms back to your sides and visualize the most beautiful flower imaginable. Be that flower and begin to bud. As rain blesses your flowery existance begin to open your "bud" by raising your arms into the air again. Breathe in through your nose as your arms open and slowly breathe out through your mouth in a constricted elongated fashion and as you exhale be the flower closing like at night. Enter the night with peaceful breathing as described above. Close your eyes to see the peacefulness of night. Then lift your brain into the air (mentally) and go all the way up to your favorite star in the heavens. If you do not have a favor star you will mentally find one and then one night you will actually see the star that you found in your prayer and that star will become your guiding light. Now that we are in space it is time to dissolve our energy into the air like dust. Scatter your love and energy all over space and feel the energy that already fills space. The dark energy in space is your fallen friends. Say: "We are one in eternal peace", and you will be reunited with your fallen loved ones forever.

How did primitive humans survive in the primitive wild for any length of time without a Cerebral Cortex in a world filled with fully evolved hungry beasts? A human without a Cerebral Cortex is incredibally stupid. Seriously. No memory to say the least. No vision. No thinking. Uhhmmmm,,, yeeeaaaaaaaahhhhh, I believe humans were able to raise babies, hunt, and reproduce without a Cerebral Cortex.....YEAH RIGHT! I'D RATHER EAT CAIMAN FODDER THAN SWALLOW THAT SCIENTIFIC IMPOSSIBILITY!!!!!

I recently had to quit my job because I refused to join the union. I refuse to pay a third party for a 'break'. I DON'T NEED A BREAK!!!! I don't need a moderator to collect my cash!!! I don't need a third party to earn a higher wage!!! Unions take advantage of overworked Americans! If a worker is unable to receive a fair wage in the United States it is because of a deeper problem like poor educations, poor teachers, poor diets, and poor health. Unions allow the US to continue to be the most overworked society in the Galaxy! OOOHHHHH, the union earned me a break....wow....maybe on my 'break' I will go beat-up all the punks that want my money. I'll stomp anybody out who tries to take from me. My kids will stomp anybody out who tries to take from them. We are fighters. We stand for ourselves. We do not need third parties to help us like crappy band-aids. We do not even need a crappy service job at all! We were raised deep in the northern wild woods and we were taught how to fetch food and energy without help from anybody. Next time a union tries to stick their dirty fingers into my pockets she or he will get stomped out like a summer campfire. EF BAND-AIDS!!!! EF THIRD PARTY MODERATORS!!! LEARN HOW TO SUCCEED ON YOUR OWN! LEARN HOW TO FIGHT. LEARN HOW TO ELIMINATE THE MIDDLE MAN. LEARN HOW TO TRADE, HOW TO BUILD, HOW TO HUNT, HOW TO BREATHE, HOW TO RELAX, AND GET OFF THE UNION DOPE!!!!!!!!!!!

Great food is dirt cheap. Think ramen noodles are cheap? All that comes in a ramen is a fistful of noodles, a teaspoon of spice, and a throat full of heartburn which for smokers leads to cancer. I don’t care how many packs you get for a dollar, it aint as cheap as bulk organic noodles and spice. Ef insurance; get fruit. Try this one: bulk organic pintos cooked on lo overnight with butter salt and water, cut-up some organic bananas that you bought with your blue card and put them on the plate next to the refried beans that you just whipped-up from your giant pot of roomtemp pintos, and dazzle the banana slices with yer melted cocoa. Now comes the fun part: slide yer fork under some beans and and chew for a Lill bit then stab a cocoa-nana slice and add it to yer mouthful of beans. Yuuuuuuuummmmmmmm and dirt cheap. Oh yeah, Huff cooked the beans and fixed the cocoa on the wood stove that heats his love shack. The beauty is that you don’t even need a drink to get the pintos downs since the cocoa-nanas are so naturally wet and cool. You don’t even need a glass of water. However Dr. Huff recommends that everybody drink lots and lots of natural-temperature pure water every hour of every day, but that’s because Huffer is buffer than Terminator cuz Huffer stays bumbin constantly (thus the name Huff), and Lill is not the case as many people are already aware. Even Huff’s dreams are filled with activity that melts into a lovely pot of original medicine that stretches the pleasures of life even further than plastic!!!

Yeeeeaaaahhh BABY!
