    what gets me is that our political ancestors revolted for having to pay taxes to restock the treasury which was depleted when england waged (and won) a war on our behalf when we were still a colony - and that in fact the citizens in england were still paying more in taxes than the american colonists!

    and all this shit about "taxation without representation" is a bunch of idiological hypocritical bullshit. for instance citizens of washington D.C. pay taxes like everyone else but are not represented in congress. and minors have to pay both income and sales taxes but have no vote. not to mention a lot of other screwy scenarios.

    basically the country is very screwed up in a lot of ways, and these grievances of mine are the very least of them.

    dont get me wrong, i do love my country, i love where i live and the people i associate with. there is a lot of good in the US, not just bad.

    but i dont like an awful lot of things about it...

    hey Nesta, does that word actually exist or is it a clever portmanteau you thought up?

    this is where i'll be with my family celebrating our global unity
    this thread just proves my point.. people arguing over something that happened long before you were born & has no affect on you
    except you identify yourself as us or them (uk/usa)

    Who is Will Smith? the brother of Adam Smith or the cousin of Joseph Smith? or is it the Smith one that bang Angelina Jolie after trying to kill her?

    And where is Boston and whats a tea party?
    Is it a bingo night for average 70 old ladies?

    The alone place I know is Dublin, from JAMES JOICES Ulysses, and Stonehenge, from the other days solstice-gathering.
    Also london but theres no smith and no independance day in England. All the english are still unfree from what I heard.
    Only The scottish are free, since Wallace came with his Braveheart and free them.

    But lets not get bad at one another, I've got this huge spaceship, you see, and if you've got some pot we could make some happening for two, and greaze the weel over tea, changing the world and so.
    I know some real cool void, est from Boston and north from Orion, and there you will enjoy the view! and i can even warranty you that we can be there before the 4th of july.

    Want to join in?

    actualy that pic was taken by rob savoye from www.welcomehome.org & that isnt the national gathering here but 1 of the international ones, this 1 was from ireland in 93 i believe
    & thats actualy a smaller one

    as for numbers, the guesses are always innaccurate & impossible to guess
    usualy around 20-30 thousand but some times can get near 60 (at a guess)
    its hard to say this year many were hesitent to go so far south, but also seems to be a huge influx of 1st timers this year as well, so it certainly might be a really big 1
    the last 3 or 4 did seem huge (with the exception of west virginia)
    & i think it will continue to grow over the years to come

    idiological is simply perfect.
    I write it in my book to remind me to use it in the next chapter.

    idiosyncratie, is an actual winner, ismatically bored is good too, a porte manteaux for idiotic cover stories, can unveil them all, but ideoligy becoming idiology, is simply magical.
    Long live the voice of the Universe, even if it sounds flad seens in the fact the voice is eternal.
    No it isnt. Sorry, it is comparativaly eternal to us, but in the strict sense of it it goes away when eternity comes in, the few micro seconds that eternity exist, I eman when time cease to exist, so its a bit uncomfortable to tlak about microseconds there, but thats true anyway, as any length of time taken our of time and space is eternal.
    So we are all eternal before we exist, when we exist in space and time, we aint eternal but what the hexk, we are alive, and we got a damn long time before going back to eternal state, like an eternity and an half if you ask me.
    Which makes me thursty to drink a beer. Just the name.

    Sorry, we were talking about independency and little private gathering soemwhere.
    Ah oui! Nesta rule! and said the cleverest (sounds like mont everest) lol! - sorry - thing ever in this thread and discovered a new conceptiv word, who we ensure wil be the next big trend in big apple within 8 weeks. After which the effect will alter and vanish a bit.

    Idio logical , i already feel familiar with it. Its like staying within the family.
    its ante must be wisely emotional emotionaly wise, or open hearted and honnest.
    or foolishly naive and in love. Well thats kind of say itself. I made 5 pleonasms on a row.
    I can do worse. If I wanted.
    Right now i want to drink some strawbery with grand Marnier and an erstatz for an australian half and half. yeah, the irish one.
    Then I will go and bite a tree, or drink some bark.

    I am going slightly crazy, is the magical mechanism already started?
    That expalin.
    Sorry guys, I ma now setting course to The Magician land, wont be back ever, I wish.

    Goodbye! Love you all! :)

    It looks like dream land for me! you are all going to have a huge surprisingly fantastic and splendid time! Magic is happening right now as we speak in the universe and in a week from now, you are all going to feel as if you were somewhere else entirely, inside out, and beign there, will suit perfectly everybody.
    I cna say that all that are coming there are in for a huge turn of event and once in a life time experience. At all levels.
    I will be with you all, you cant miss it, its like already there, on its way, you are all blessed.

    Have a deep and wonderfull time!

    :) May all celestial magic and favors be upon you all.
