    Hello.

    There is this understanding that comes with age.
    Abbie Hoffman was running on the lamb for quite a few years in Mexico but simply could not get things started there.
    When he was back in the US he was clearly over 30, and his direction was to not trust anyone over 30.
    John Lennon is something of the same, a person of his generation.
    His fame was the beetles.
    Had he lived he would be largely ignored by the current generation because he would be 70 years old.
    And the cycle would repeat.

    That's animal cruelty. There's no way a lamb could withstand the weight of an adult human being. He should have at least used a full-grown sheep, if not a horse.

    (Rudy, the expression is "On the lam.")
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    Hello.

    Yes, but on the lamb, or sheep, or goat, it does not matter, no small animals are safe with horny Republicans around. ;)
