Blowing It

[LARSSON at VAX1.Mankato.MSUS.EDU]

Christ Stolz suggests:
"i think the "we" of Peter Fonda's quotation refers to America in general.
These guys are rebels but also very much american (America being the only
culture in the world which has a "tradition" of "rebellion"-- this is as old
as the Puritans, who, by the way, had a tradition of youth leaving home to
travel and work as a part of gorwing up (i.e. before being established in a
community)-- which Hopper and Fonda's characters are a prt of)"


Hey, read the Counterforce section of GR.  It's all about Blowing It, but
so is the ending of THE ELECTRIC KOOL-AIDE ACID TEST.  Utopian dreams
require a precision of concentration and a purity of action that are 
virtually impossible to sustain!
