Still more, in case you can’t understand my skepticism<\/a>: <\/p>\n

A year ago, Barack Obama addressed a group in Selma, AL commemorating the 1965 voting rights march. He credited the event with giving his parents the idea that they could have a child. The result was him–Barack Obama, Child of Destiny. The only problem is he was born in 1961. <\/p>\n

“What happened in Selma, Alabama and Birmingham also stirred the conscience of the nation…This young man named Barack Obama…came over to this country. He met this woman…(who) had a good idea there was some craziness going on because they looked at each other and they decided…it might…be possible for us to get together and have a child. There was something stirring across the country because of what happened in Selma, Alabama… So they got together and Barack Obama Jr. was born. So don’t tell me I don’t have a claim on Selma, Alabama. Don’t tell me I’m not coming home to Selma, Alabama. <\/p>\n

I’m here because somebody marched.” http:\/\/www.barackobama.com\/2007\/03\/04\/selma_voting_rights_march_comm.php<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I WAS THERE! My daughter, Siouxsie, was conceived there! But by whom I will never know! Woodstock was not just a concert, but a way of life, it was a breakthrough where we as a whole community fought to revive peace & love! Not War!!! <\/a>We were NOT rebellious, just anxious and curious! Most of us were teenagers, but we were very smart and knowledgeable about the politics that were corrupting our world in 1969!!! Woodstock lives in my heart FOREVER! I will never forget the music, the people, the drugs, the mud, the smell (it stunk!), and the peace and togetherness of us all! Jimi Hendrix is (was) a wonderful person to chat with! I drank with him a few times! I was a groupie! So I met alot of famous singers! Including Iron Butterfly, Jefferson Airplane, The Who, ETC! Woodstock was a fun memory and it still lives in our hearts forever! PEACE! and Love your Neighbor man!! P.S. Since I was a traveling hippie, I was also at the famous Monterey Pop Festival in San Fransisco, CA. where all my hippie road dogs still live today! PEACE, ATLANTA
