I dropped by the Farmers Market in downtown Santa Cruz yesterday afternoon. That's a weekly event where the hippies temporarily abandon their meth labs up in the hills and swarm into town to consume less lethal nutrients. There were the usual assortment of booths vending everything from veagan "meats" to fruits and flowers. That's if you could get to them.
First you had to navigate a guantlet of political proselytizers and their petitions. These people are more annoying than carnival barkers -- and less subtle. "Keep corporate money out of politics." "Require solar power." "Free the Area 51."
Hey, shut up already. And get away from me!
Yes, the back to nature movement is well represented at the Farmers Market. And yes, aboriginal man was a hunter and gatherer. But he wasn't gathering signatures for a stupid petition! So stop hunting me. Besides, dogs aren't allowed to vote in Santa Cruz -- yet.
I've got to pee now.
