The Seed Discussion Forum / More Trivia
« on: March 09, 2005, 07:43:00 PM »
I lived at 34th street and thomas street.  I remember when the field behind my neighborhood would  flood, before ty park was a park and we would sniff glue, smoke dope and do acid when I was in high school.  I wish none of that happened, but it did. I take full responsibility and have become quite successful as a business man and as a person.  For some reason, all of this means something to me at this age.  I used to play paddle ball and enjoy the beach.  It was a bad place, but a good place.  I transfereed to Cooper City HS my junior year because my parents divorced and my mom  could not afford our house.  I hated it, but did the best I could.  Hard lessons, but good results.  Thanks to God that I made it.  

I tried for years to live according to everyone else's morality.
I tried to live like everyone else, to be like everyone else.
I said the right things even when I felt and thought quite differently.
And the result is a catastrophe.

---Albert Camus

I never entered the Seed though I had several friends that did.  Hollywood was a crazy place in the 70's and despite the "cult" like status of the seed,  I suppose it helped a lot of people.  I moved to Hollywood from Pennsylvania at 13 and grew-up very fast... too fast.  Does anyone remember Brian Marder, Tim Carney, Larry Leibovits or Joe Iorio?  None of them went to the seed, but they were my best friends and could have used some help.  For me, I joined the Air Force at 18 and it was my Seed.  For some reason, now at 48, I still think a lot of Hollywood, though I have not been in touch with anyone since 1977.  I travel a lot now and visit Hollywood beach about twice a year.  I still remember posing as a surfer, playing paddleball and hanging out.  Some great memories.  

Next the statesmen will invent cheap lies, putting the blame upon the nation that is attacked,  and every man will be glad of those conscience-soothing falsities, and will diligently study them, and refuse to examine any refutations of them; and thus he will by and by convince himself that  the war is just, and will thank God for the better sleep he enjoys after this process of grotesque  self-deception."

I remember Zappa, Black Sabbath, Tull at Pirates world.  Also remember several local guys that were very good at guitar.  HH guys who played at great local parties.  I often wonder how I survived with so many drugs. But, I have survived well!

Legalizing drugs would simultaneously reduce the amount of crime and raise the quality of law enforcement. Can you conceive of any other measure that would accomplish so much to promote law and order?
