Is it acceptable for one individual or a group of individuals to come together and fight for a common cause? Or are they just seen as young people who are too high on drugs who do not know what is actually going on in the world today?

Lennon was one of the loudest voices fighting the war and he had a massive effect on people. He grew his beard and hair for “Hair Peace” and he was a major icon for Hippies worldwide.

destined to breathe his very last breath in a few short seconds. Unfortunately, Aaron’s story would only become one of the many lives ripped apart during the Oklahoma City Bombing. The world would never be the same. Instead of making the assassin, Timothy McVeigh, suffer like so many others will for the rest of their lives, he got exactly what he wanted; he received the easy way out.
