The Chambers Brothers - Time Has Come Today Lyrics

Time has come today
Young hearts can go their way
Can't put it off another day
I don't care what others say
They say we don't listen anyway
Time has come today
(Hey)

Oh
The rules have changed today (Hey)
I have no place to stay (Hey)
I'm thinking about the subway (Hey)
My love has flown away (Hey)
My tears have come and gone (Hey)
Oh my Lord, I have to roam (Hey)
I have no home (Hey)
I have no home (Hey)

Now the time has come (Time)
There's no place to run (Time)
I might get burned up by the sun (Time)
But I had my fun (Time)
I've been loved and put aside (Time)
I've been crushed by the tumbling tide (Time)
And my soul has been psychedeli...

The '60s were wonderful years, especially to be in San Francisco. Great music, and great smoke, Acid, Hash, and Mescaline to really get into it.

This was one of my "trippin" favorites:

We can add Obomba to the montage of tolls of the Beast with blood on their hands due to his escalation of drone attacks on Pakistan. Innocent blood....Arrrgh!
Does nothing EVER REALLY CHANGE????

I guess if you mean are there ever any permanent solutions, then no. But I think there are moments in history where there is a window of opportunity for meaningful social change; hopefully they don't pass us by.

I'm talkin' about perpetual war but then I always am. Looks like Obomba is going to keep on doing what the Military Beast/corporate profiteers want.

It's what I meant also. I don't know if there are any permanent solutions to the violence between human beings. War certainly can be a defensible activity under some circumstances; and not responding to may result in greater evil than war itself. (the theory of a just war).

When the people leave war fighting to professional soldiers we often lose the active response to injustice which should be a response to extreme danger instead of the interests of a few.

Does anyone know what we're doing in Afghanistan? Why are we there? What is our mission? Are we trying to win anything? Trying not to win anything - just keep it going? Are we protecting the Poppy Fields? Destroying the Poppy Fields?

Obama said Afghanistan "is the right war." What does that mean? Is this bullshit election recount, which is going to end up with the same results, only a delaying tactic to save Obama from making a decision as to whether to send troops or not send troops? Is it really his decision to make?

Somebody help this ignoramus out - PLEASE!

Well for one, it's NOT to protect women --see this LJ entry from a friend of mine for a great perspective:

We are there for the continuing of Empire and all that ensues--throwing our weight around the world and making MONEY for the corporations involved in making the materiel for the war machine.
We are NOT there for freedom, but we are there for the CIA to make beaucoup $$ in business with the Karzai Bros. in the opium poppy trade--see todays NY Times.

The New York Times exposé pins the blame on Karzai, but fails to explain that one of the primary reasons behind the 2001 invasion of Afghanistan was the United States’ agenda to restore, not eradicate, the drug trade.

Before the invasion, the Taliban collaborated closely with the U.N. to reduce opium production down to just 185 tonnes, a figure at least 2000% below current levels. The notion that the “Taliban benefits from the drug trade” and that the U.S. is trying to stop it, as both Bush and Obama claimed, is the complete opposite of what is actually happening.

As Professor Michel Chossudovsky has highlighted in a series of essays, the explosion of opium production after the invasion wa...
