Eavesdroppings: Overheard in Athens

Everything I've published on this thing so far has been my own words and experiences. But this is my last day in Athens, GA where there are always interesting things to hear other people say. I figured I'd open it up to the vox populi let today's post write itself. Here's a snapshot of what happened within earshot of my wanderings downtown...

Aging Hippie Guy on Freedom:

Guy with Shaggy Mullet on Rubbernecking:
 
 "I don't know what everybody's gawking at. It's not like they need the jaws of life over there or anything."

Two Heavily Tattooed Women on Legalization:

 
"I smoke cigarettes, but I can't stand the taste of rolling papers. How effed up is that?"
 "I'll be honest. I'd pay extra for Pharmeceutical grade"

Guy in "Fraggle Rock" T-Shirt on Evolution:

 
"We're as diverse as the animals we came from. Why take everyone and stir them up in the same pudding?"

Two Guys Who Scare Me on Politics:
 
"Lovey-touchy liberals, they don't want to hear anything about the issue, but that issue is the conveyor of the issue. Damn states' rights, man. Every state doesn't need Uncle Sambo telling them what to do."
 
"It's not gonna change because everybody was raised in the ideology of insanity. Liberals want women's rights but good luck with that when we're answering to their God. The feds should stop pissing away resources on the right of the state to have lesbians and whatever."

New Graduate to Unshaven Friend on Maturity:
