Rumpus Machine - L.A. Woman

 What is it with these pesky kids!?

Rumpus Machine - L.A. Woman

no seriously CHECK OUT THESE YOUNGSTERS!

Out of the mouths of babes . . . .

 This clip has come back around and it is a favourite . . . . . obviously!



"The differences that so often separate adults are not the ones these kids reach for. Skin color, religion, money, social status, those are distinctions they’re taught later on. For now, some of the main differences lie in what they like to eat, what they like to do, where they live in the neighborhood, and yes, maybe even the size of their toes.
There’s something worth remembering in that we aren’t born knowing which differences are supposed to divide us" The Female Quotient

Person Of The Week!

“If the narcs think I’m gonna stop baking brownies for my kids with AIDS, they can go fuck themselves in Macy’s window!”
Mary Jane Rathbun (1922-1999) was raised in Minneapolis and later became known as "Brownie Mary" in San Francisco as the Godmother of the medical marijuana movement.😳
Lots of people I met in San Francisco were just a little different!
If in doubt be like Mary Jane!
I liked her!
