Vulture Stalking a Child Life is bare bones on the Lakota reservationclipped by: kkcapricornclippers remarks: By John King CNN Chief National Correspondent ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "All it is is logs, glue -- dirt and water put together -- then cement and the chicken string," Hale says of his home. "Long as the windows dont break, its nice and warm in here." The roof leaks a bit, and the floorboards are rotted in one corner, but Hale isnt one to complain. "Its home," he says, almost under his breath, as he invites a visitor to have a look. Firewood is stacked in one corner inside, and more outside as Hale uses the summer months to stockpile for prairie winters, where 20 below zero is not all that uncommon. He also pulls bunches of long weeds in the prairie grass, to dry for use as a firestarter. "I have to be careful," Hale says matter-of-factly as he pulls a few fistfuls. "Sometimes there are some snakes. Rattlesnakes. Nothing to mess around with." ~~~~~~~~~~~ This makes me cry. It is their country!!!!  Herbert Hale lives on a check of a little less than $17 a week and whatever he can pick up from odd jobs. CHERRY CREEK, South Dakota (CNN) -- The tiny one-room house rests on a hill; no electricity and no running water. A creaky metal cot and a rusting wood-burning stove is all the comfort Herbert Hale says he needs. He is 54 years old, a veteran of two Army combat tours in Vietnam, a member of the Lakota tribe and part of two stunning statistics, even as communities across America deal with the pain and challenges of recession: After the Army, Hale worked 16 years as a firefighter. But he began having some back problems in the early 1980s and then, "cancer caught up with me. I have a brain tumor." On the odd jobs in town, $1 here and $5 there adds up -- not too much, but his goals are modest. Tags: poverty Is it time for another Woodstock ?clipped by: leevardiclippers remarks: 400,000 people in one place with one collective consciousness...love, peace and fun..AWESOME Here is Yasgur?s entire speech, with the camera cutting to Lang on stage along with him ? and it certainly is an inspiring event to watch: [Video] Though Yasgur was not at all supportive of drug use, he believed the young people had the right to peacefully gather. He embodied the father / mentor / wise man archetype when he took the stage and gave everyone there his approval, telling them they had a right to belong? to enjoy their own free will however they so chose. At over 400,000 in attendance, it became the largest gathering of people in known history for its time. Woodstock was a seminal event in modern history ? crystallizing the movement for change and freedom that ultimately ended the Vietnam War. This 400,000-person gathering also helped raise public awareness of the corruption in the system, revealed soon afterwards in the long, drawn-out battle over Watergate ? which ultimately led to President Nixon being forced to resign. Woodstocks 40 year Cycle Is Almost Completeclipped by: leevardi
The original Woodstock Aquarian Exposition had a major effect on global consciousness 40 years ago. An intriguing set of synchronicities suggest that we are the ?new generation? who are now finishing the job! A TIME OF GREAT AWAKENING Woodstock was a seminal event in modern history ? crystallizing the movement for change and freedom that ultimately ended the Vietnam War. This 400,000-person gathering also helped raise public awareness of the corruption in the system, revealed soon afterwards in the long, drawn-out battle over Watergate ? which ultimately led to President Nixon being forced to resign. In a deeper sense, the community, inspiration and unity that was demonstrated at Woodstock is still seen as a mystical event of nearly religious significance in Western musical culture.
