Where have all the Hare Krishnas holding flowers gone?

[CHNOPS]

It used to be you couldn't go to an airport or mall or public event without an army of placid looking pod-persons with Mohawks and togas offering you flowers and good wishes for a fabulous future.

Now you never see them anywhere. What happened to them? Don't they want me to have a fabulous future anymore? Did the religion change and now they all just go bowling?

Whither the Hare Krishnas?

Seems like I saw them at LAX last year or year before. I remember seeing them but not positive on location.

 

[neci]

i fucking hate LAX.

never again.

what a shit hole.

 

[CHNOPS]

Right about the time the Hare Krishnas started disappearing, all the white dog poop in the world started disappearing, too.

I'm starting to think that wasn't dog poop.

You were in LAX last year? Fuck you very much.

I would route myself through Burbank while it is *under construction* rather than go to LAX ever again. It sucks that bad.

Yes, Image, peace.....

Just about every time I go to LA, I fly through SNA, but one time I did Burbank. It was pretty rank, but LAX was waaaaay worse. I do remember going to Anaheim once and going to an airport where we exited the plane on the fucking tarmack (by design!). I can't remember which airport that was. Maybe Long Beach?

 

[IndieSnob]

GEG bitches.

Yeah, the Spokane airport is amazing.

Amazingly boring and sucky.

When I lived in Victoria, BC I hung out with the Krishnas from time to time.

They were all great people. They laughed at themselves as much as everyone else laughs at them.

Every now and then my friend and I would join them in the park for a picnic.

Good people, good food.

I fly around a lot for various things. I'm probably in LAX two or three times a year depending on how flights are routed. For some reason I never get a straight shot anywhere. Part of it's because I'm cheap but part is the universe getting back at me for something. I'm not sure what.

Interesting point, I've wondered that myself a few times in recent years. There seemed to be such a rich flowering of spiritual vigor in the 1970s and it seems like its gone today. Part of the problem is the left's embrace of radical atheism and anti-religion bigotry. The Hare Krishnas, along with many of the more open minded cults drew much of their members from the New Left, but the New New Left as I call it hates any faith or spirituality at all. We are just supposed to worship the Democratic party establishment and Hollywood entertainment rather than quest for a deeper meaning in life. Its pretty sad if you ask me.

I can't believe it had to come to this. You had to post about dog shit for me to agree with you on something.

Seriously though, I do remember white turds when I was a kid, I remember my friend and I always seeing it around our neighborhood, it was even the topic of a pretty horrendous argument between her and I at one time. Anyways, you're right. I haven't seen a white shit on the ground since I was a little kid. Where the fuck did it go?!

We both live in the same area of the same province now, and we both used to live in Victoria B.C. I bet we know each other, at the very least I am sure we know people who know each other.

The Krishnas in Vic were awesome, so were the sikhs. The years I spent in Vic were off and on the streets. We used to go to the Sikh temple for free food. They had such great food.

Ahh Victoria. I miss Victoria. I miss Weekend trips to Salt Spring, too.

9/11/01, American airports restricted access to concourses so that only employees and people with airplane tickets could be there. I was cut off from one of my favorite restaurants on that day.

As for the white dog turds, most people feel obliged to pick them up before they get the chance to turn white. Around the area lakes there are lots of white goose turds, for those who care to seek them.

Where are all the pretty little hippie girls wearing peasant dresses with flowers in their hair?

They're in their 60's, married and about to retire after 40 years of working for The Man.
