Who the hell lives in Ubud, except if you are a neo 68 generation who missed out on Katmandu, Woodstock 1969, loves meditation, relaxing massages, smoothies and rice field view ?

I remember someone once said, the best way to control people is to instill FEAR into them. Then they become putty in your hands. You can get them to hate their neighbors, friends, even family. I believe we are in a new WAR, but this one doesn’t use bullets, or bombs. It uses peoples fear to get them to do whatever you want. It’s a tried and true tactic that has been used for a long time, and it still works. I heard from my local friend that he got stopped six times yesterday going between Karangasem and Celuk. That’s only next to Ubud. Luckily for him he had his PAPERS! To prove that he got the vaccine. I guess the Gestapo was disappointed they couldn’t get any Baksheesh to fill their already bulging pockets. How sad for them. They will just have to wait for the next fool. So it is up to everyone to do what they feel is best for them. Just don’t shove down other’s throats. Including religion!

Sorry I was a wee bit young for Woodstock, but would have loved to be there. I love Jimmy Hendricks, Traffic, Eric Clapton, Grateful Dead, Richie Haven, Etc. It was a wee bit too raining for me, but what the hell, get covered in mud, Drop some Acid smoke some weed, and dance like theres no tomorrow, with a beautiful topless young girl. I could have handled that. Tell me you couldn’t?

Good answer !
