Snoopy
Snoopy is a beagle dog that cartoonist Charles Schwartz features in the most popular comic strip in the world, "Peanuts". Snoopy has also been featured in movies, songs, etc. and is now an American icon. His independent nature has also made him a symbol of the "free spirit" attitude as well as what is good about America and its culture.
1. I've seen "Peanuts" strips in several languages like German, French, Arabic, Russian, Japanese, Greek and many more.
2. In college I saw a collection of items used in Roman Catholic parishes thruout the world. One item of note was a hymnal smuggled from communist China, where religious practices of any kind generally aren't allowed. Each page had Chinese musical notation and the lyrics to a song (of course, I couldn't read the words!). At the bottom of each hymn page was a sketched drawing of Snoopy. He was always looking sad, sitting on a swing and crying, or looking out a window, or in some other sad or melancholy state. No doubt this was a relection of the total lack of liberties and freedoms in China today. In this case Snoopy represents joy, cheer, happiness and freedom, and in a totalitarian state there are none of those things.

The first time I ever saw the Atlantic Ocean (and waded in it) was at Seaside Heights, New Jersey. I was 15 years old at the time.

prom promise
a bullshit declaration that some high school students are forced to sign by their goody goody two shoes parents that says that they won't use alcohol or drugs during prom night. Ah-ha-ha-hahahahahahahahah!
Prom Promise is an idea spawned by extreme MADD-types, Tipper Gore-types and soccer moms. If you resort to having your kids make such chicken shit pledges like that then you don't really trust them and you ain't raising them up in a good way. If you've done your max to rear them right then you have to let them loose.

Up with Hope, Down with Dope
Up with Hope, Down with Dope sounds like a positive notion, but when the children grow up and have to face the problems and stresses of life where dumbasses are in unearned positions of power and they try to influence every aspect of our lives then some may lose hope. Then how do they try to cope and meet demands? You guessed it - DOPE!

KKK
abbreviation for the Ku Klux Klan, a terrorist organization that is legal here in the USA. They intimidate, harass, beat up, abduct and kill people that they hate: blacks, Catholics, Jews, Muslims, Hispanics, Asiatic Orientals, non-white Caucasians, Native Americans, immigrants, labor union people, "liberals", people who are involved in interracial love and sex affairs (and marriages too), socialists, communists and other so-called "undesirables". They also commit acts of arson and bombings against against specific places like homes and houses of worship. If people in government are so devoted to fighting terrorism, then how about getting rid of DOMESTIC terrorism as well?
It's unbelievable that some lawmakers were defending the burning of crosses in people's yards as a legit exercise of free speech! It's intimidating people, so that makes it an act of terrorism. What more can be said? The KKK and similar groups are violent terrorist organizations. A bunch of douche bags is a bunch of douche bags. Period. If it swims like a duck, quacks like a duck...

drugs suck
a catchphrase in the 80s stated by Steve Jones that says it all. He nearly died from drug abuse and he's seen others die from it too. He ain't saying it because "someone told him to". Experience is the best teacher.
In the 80s there were ads on TV featuring rock stars doing anti-drug announcements. It was called Rock Against Drugs (RAD).
Genesis stated that "drugs are a no win situation so please don't it" while their hit "Throwing It All Away" plays in the background.
Another example: Jon Bon Jovi says, "I was given this script to read to you. Drugs are not a part of this workplace. Drugs are bad 4 U ... blah blah blah. Any questions?" Yeah Jon: how much moolah did you get to "read this script to us?"
Steve Jones is tightening a hex nut on his motorcycle. Then he gets up and says, "Hi. I'm Steve Jones. I used to play guitar in a band called the Sex Pistols. A good friend of mine in that band - Sid Vicious- died from drugs. I nearly died from drugs." Then he looks directly at the video camera and says "Drugs suck". He had a song on his 1986 album "Mercy" by that name. Later on New Kids on the Block members wore that slogan on T-shirts because it so "cool" and fashionable and "hip". Soon after that there were shirts that said "New Kids Suck". That they do!
Take it from people who've been there and survived it. There's a lot of things that suck today, including drugs.
