Many towns bear the same name, like Columbus or even Paris, Tx.

In the case of Woodstock NY vs GA, it’s North vs South, progressive vs regressive.

To sum up a life, now infamous of Robert Long’s “pizza, guns…”

Upstate New York gave us a three-day festival of Love, Peace and Music.

What’s been happening since?

In a span of 52 years, we morphed, from free love to free killing, from the brotherhood to KKK hoods.

I was leaning against the movie theatre seat, eyes wide opened watching Woodstock, the movie. I was impressed at the skills, the sensation and the side-shows (the crowd – among them, nudists and mud slide).

What on Earth!

American youth, un-chained.

Same youth, 2021, in his defense , was “addicted to sex” “wanting to eliminate temptations”….

On the one side, we witness unbound possibilities of what Love can do. On the other, son of a church lay leader on the hunting trail.

What we teach matters.

What politicians and preachers say matters.

We are products of our times and systems.

Woodstock, NY saw a bunch of kids whose parents had become well-off in peace time (late 50’s) – to the point of suffocation ( Revolutionary Road). Woodstock, GA in our times, advocates guns, gods, and gardens.

The stark differences have long been in the making: our culture morphs from One Nation, under God…to two nations, divided (AWS kicked out Parler, now picked up by an Armenian-own Web service).

In defense of his killing, Robert Long, now 21, wholly responsible adult under the Law, said he was an addict, sex that was.

Like any addict, he was in re-hab (with his Pennis locked-up???). Opioid addicts did not go on the rampage killing the Purdue-farm family. What made Robert Long a divinely appointed “eliminator”? To “drain the swamp”? to act out what adults of his world, his church and his town have longed to do?

I know how he feels. At 21, I just want to act out what others were talking. I failed to grasp the meaning of harmony and socialization. People vent, complain, blame-shift and scape-goat to grease the wheel of conversation. But the conversation stops there. With Long, the fantasy has been brewed to blow off the lid.

Everything starts with the Why. The doctrine and dogma. Of being told you are special, chosen and selected by God, and someday will be re-united with Him in Heaven. With that, you can endure prison, even execution in martyrdom. The 9/11 terrorists were told similar tales. So were the ISIS’s, or other home-brew ones. Robert Long is no different. He conveniently framed Asian women as of lesser morale and by extension, of a less refined race. With inferior origins and occupations, they are discounted as second-class, soft targets of his moral outrage. He did it for his community as much as for himself (although his support system immediately put out statements of denouncing).

On the legal front, he might be covered by upfront admission and defense (not Hate Crime). But on other levels, we know he is no Woodstock fan of Music, Peace and Love .

Today, you go on Google, you will find Woodstock, NY with a sign which says “You are entering the Land of Love”.

Who wouldn’t want to enter there. Who wouldn’t want to have a warm embrace. It soothes the soul and warms the heart.

And God will wipe the tears from their eyes…in this case, Asian slanted eyes (God’s self-portrait).

Ask me. So, you want to lean back and watch Woodstock, NY festival movie? or the killing rampage of Robert Long, Woodstock, GA? Despite their similar name, I know you know the answer. Peace, brother/sister. Love, brother/sister.

Does anybody know what time it is?……..
