H:
A Friday night, we'd meet
and if I felt like it was okay for you
to come out, I'd let you follow me home.
If I felt like there was something
about you that I didn't like,
I'd say, "we'll meet again",
and I'd never meet with them again.
"We don't do
this right off the bat. Sorry."
When I met Mr. Hands,
we did talk on the phone a little bit.
And that's when he lived in Seattle.
He was basically curious,
like everybody was curious.
And he had a good personality.
So I invited him out.
Coyote:
I was just astounded at the beauty.
You have that wildness,
but then you have civilization too.
They're just kind of meshed together.
Happy Horseman:
Us humans are so conditioned
from the time we are born
to start categorizing.
And even if they're unconscious,
or even subconscious,
we start categorizing.
Animals just not going to do that.
Flight attendant:
We'll be landing in Seattle in just...
Happy Horseman:
You're either a good person or a bad person.
Woman:
[ On radio ]...The biggest of all munitions companies,
Lockheed Martin Corporation,
playing an important behind-the-scenes role
in developing support for
Bush's war with Iraq.
Man:
[ On radio ]Yes, they did.
They played a very influential role in, uh...
In various organizations
that looked like they were simply
public interest,
public education organizations,
but which had long
advocated a war with Iraq
ever since the 1991,
uh, the first war with Iraq.
It's been to their...
That is, war is the business.
What I mean when
I say it's not private enterprise,
is that it's much more like
state socialism.
You have only one customer.
The customer
is not particularly interested
in getting the best
possible use of his money.
He's much more
interested in simply...
Getting the contracts filled.
Moreover, there is
a huge circulation of elites today
in the sense that most
of the operating positions,
appointed positions in the Pentagon today,
are executives
from the military-industrial complex.
Whereas, by contrast,
any number of
the high officials in these companies
are retired high-ranking
American military officers.
Woman:
[ On radio ]Well, I want to thank you
for being with us, Chalmers Johnson.
His piece appears
in this month's... "Harper's".
It's called "War Business:
Squeezing a Profit from the Wreckage in Iraq",
As well as David Bacon whose piece appears
in "Progressive" magazine.
Chalmers Johnson's
piece ends:
"this is the futurewhen war becomes the most profitable..."
H:
I'd get about 8 or 10, 15 people at the house.
Big party, watch movies, play games.
Happy Horseman:
Kind of a potluck supper kind of thing.
Some people would
bring over some beans or chips
and a meat entree or something.
And of course, lots of beer.
And once in a while
there was a few mixed drinks.
It was kind of fun, throwing
all kinds of stuff into the blender
and churning out things
that kind of had a slushy flavour to them,
that about six or seven
of them would knock you on your ass.
You can only put so many
bottles of rum in some of this stuff.
There was no special flashy...
Nothing going on
that was all that strange and unusual.
I mean, this goes on in hundreds
and thousands of places all over the country.
Age was never
really all that important.
As long as you
were old enough to drink,
you weren't senile
and could talk coherently,
conversation would always ensue.
Do you wear boxers or a thong?
[ Laughter ]
Happy Horseman:
It was pretty much a classless society
of our own little small world.
No one had any kind of
different statuses
and who was this and who was that.
There was no alphas and omegas and betas
running around anywhere.
Coyote:
Being able to get away,
just let everything hang.
Anything I can bring up
or want to talk about,
it didn't matter what was on my mind,
these were people I could trust.
I could just let my hair down
and not have to
worry about things.
H:
There was things in him
that he really
didn't want people to know.
He wouldn't tell you.
He wouldn't tell you the truth.
It took me a long time
to find out his real name.
And it was about a year before I knew
Mr. Hands' real name.
It was just always Mr. Hands.
"I go by Mr. Hands."
Man:
[ On television ]Okay, Jim, it was quite a ride,
But we got it done.
Roger. You're five-by, Jim,
and we're sailing free.
Coyote:
The flag and stuff that they put on the moon
and it looks like it's waving in the breeze,
what do you know?
Of course, there's no atmosphere
on the moon at all.
H:
People would come out,
and we'd walk out into the barn
and I'd show them my horses
and I'd show my bulls,
and they'd ask me
different questions about them.
I'd tell them what this
was and what that was.
"How come his legs
look like that?"
"It's because he's resting."
It wasn't the fanciest place
in the world.
It had cows in it,
so there was crap all over the floors.
There was horseshit
all over the floors.
The horses would come in and out,
and the bulls would come in and out.
And it was just, like, "hey, let's go
out to the barn and pester the animals".
"Well, there they are. Go ahead."
"Just be careful, because
if you stand too long in one place,
It's going to happen."
If you just stand there,
they'll walk up behind you
and put their head on your shoulder
and talk to you.
They're going to pick up that pheromone
that your body's putting off,
and they're going to mount you.
If you don't move, you're bred...
[ Chuckling ]
And I mean bred.
There was times that people'd
come over expecting it,
and no, it never happened.
Jenny:
We had one horse that we called Chance
when we brought him in.
He was blind.
And he was in this area where
it was just nothing but blackberry bushes,
so he kept poking himself in the eye.
We ultimately had
to remove both of his eyes,
because he had re-injured himself
so many times trying to forage for food.
I mean, it touched
all of us very deeply.
When we took that horse
to the veterinary hospital,
we were advised to put him down.
But our feeling and
our experience has been
that just because it has
a problem like blindness,
that's not a good enough reason
to just end their life.
Man:
[ On radio ]One of the things we found fascinating about the story
is that the news media in the Puget Sound
would not reveal the name of the victim.
We believe we have
the name of that man.
We talked to somebody
who worked with this guy.
We talked to someone who got a memo
at work about the death of this guy.
We talked to people
who told us that...
Federal employees
were coming in saying
this name was
never, ever, ever to be given out.
Woman:
My name is Pam Roach,
and I'm the State Senator that covers the
area of Enumclaw
and all the lovely area
