Every gathering has its moment. as an adult, i distract myself by trying to identify it, dreading the inevitable downswing that is sure to follow. the guests will repeat themselves one too many times, or you'll run out of dope or liquor and realize that it was all you ever had in common.

This is a gathering of lovers. in this gathering there is no high, no low, no smart, no ignorant, no special assembly, no grand discourse, no proper schooling required. there is no master, no disciple. this gathering is more like a drunken party, full of tricksters, fools, mad men and mad women. this is a gathering of lovers.

My wife says, and i agree with her, that what would be really great for maine would be to legalize dope completely and set up dope stores the way that there are state-run liquor stores. you could get your acapulco gold or your whatever it happened to be - your augusta gold or your bangor gold. and people would come from all the other states to buy it, and there could be a state tax on it. then everybody in maine could have a cadillac.

We have a common enemy. we have this in common: we have a common oppressor, a common exploiter, and a common discriminator. but once we all realize that we have this common enemy, then we unite on the basis of what we have in common. and what we have foremost in common is that enemy - the white man. he's an enemy to all of us. i know some of you all think that some of them aren't enemies. time will tell.
