Woodstock Peace Economy: "Zip just got an idea for his next hippy punching"

Howard Zinn

"I'm gratified that citizens of Woodstock and its environs are organizing to transform the production of components now used for frightful weapons to peaceful and sustainable purposes. The bucolic setting of Woodstock is such a contrast with the ugliness of arms production. It is especially horrifying that this is taking place in a town whose heritage is peace and harmony. I support your work and hope other people will rally to your campaign to remove this blight from your areas, and perhaps other places in the country where war materials are produced will take up the struggle for a weapons-free, peaceful world. Thank you for what you and your friends are doing."

David Swanson

"Woodstock Peace Economy is providing the necessary answer to the claims of senators and congress members that they cannot shift funding from weapons to human needs because weapons mean jobs. While we know theoretically that non-military investment creates more and better-paying jobs while avoiding all the damage done by unnecessary weaponry, until local communities demand conversion from swords to ploughshares, and local workers demand conversion from swordmakers to ploughmakers, mere facts are not going to get in the way of legislators' loyalties. If other communities follow Woodstock in pursuing a peace economy, we just might all live to tell about it."

If I were running Ametek Rotron Inc. I would tell the old hippies in Woodstock, "Okay dude, since you don't want military parts manufactured in your wonderfull little liberal town I'm moving my plant to a town that wants the jobs. Now go protest that assholes".By Russ O'Neal http://boortz.com/nealz_nuze/2008/12/reading-assignments-27.html

Sad little pee spot in the snow that woodstock is... let these anti-American, anti-defense slobbering leftists wallow in their own excrement. Let THEM defend themselves...We culture people like this like I cultured bacteria in biology classes. And now that I think of it, they are a lot like many bacteria. Parasites of a sort with no redeeming social value that make you sick. They couldn’t exist without others to do their dirty work for them.Let these freaks defend themselves then.Sheep.Why waste energy caring about people too stupid to care about themselves. These people are sick, but hey, they are Progressives, and they just got elected to run the country. Woodstock can rot in hell with the artsy-fartsy, washed-up hippy crowd. Woodstock, NY - World Headquarters for oganic shoelaces. Failed hippies. They remain stupid. I suppose if you are a liberal parasite you have trouble understanding the productive.They should be sent to north Africa to live.Morons.Words fail me. I am simply stunned at stupidity beyond comprehension.http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2148319/posts#comment

To bad that "they deserved Killin" isn't a good defense in court in these progressive times.

Ugh. Woodstock is a pretty town overrun by mostly freaky liberals. I visited there once and don't think I'll ever go back again, between the people meditating on the sidewalk, the protests along the road, and...well you get the point. This sounds like something ludicrous this town would do.

Let the hippies make wiffle balls and scented candles. REAL Americans can make the stuff that keeps our troops alive and successful.
