3.. 2.. 1..

When the turn of the decade
Is also the turn of the century
And is also the turn of the millennium
People may turn on each other

 


Pat Buchanon-

Same old tired totalitarianism.
Sure, the trains may run on time, but this is
NO comfort to those who remember
the trains to Auschwitz and Dachau...


 

Stop Endless Debunking!

The rallying cry of the next century:

New ideas and innovations
are constantly being shot down
by the phrase,
"Oh, that won't work here!"
 
Just listen...
When the subject of solar power comes up
When ideas on how to halt global warming are discussed
When someone suggests national referendums in the US
When people realize they will have to change themselves
 
Just listen for the phrase,
"Oh, that won't work!"

 


 

Game Over, Name Over

There are too many rules in America
Too many fools run the show
 
How did so many morons get so much power?
And why do we trust what they know?
Is it better than what we know?
How could it be?
 
We vote them in and hope they do the right thing
That's not democracy
Who's steering this committee?
 
Every year there are new restrictions
On what I can think, do and see
I want to believe in something real
I guess it will have to be me
 
God and country... both have failed, miserably
 
When they come pounding and hollering at your door...
When they act surprised when you ask "what for?"...
When they rip you from your peaceful existence...
When they haul you away to an over crowded prison...
When you witness the brutality of close confines...
When they ignore your oath that you'd never hurt a fly...
When they hammer out new restrictions and laws...
When they ignore what people believe in their hearts...
When they claim all the new cops are here to keep you safe..
When they claim it all in the name of 'national security'...
 
Remind them they forgot to change the name
when they quietly overthrew this nation
 
This isn't the USA anymore.
Be honest.
Change the fuckin' name.

 


 

According to my spell checker,
the most common mis-spelling of 'united' is 'untied'.

 


 

The Problem with Fundamentalist Christians...

They have absolutely NO respect
for people different than themselves.
They are possibly the least accepting
of all 'God's Creatures' and
they want you to become one of them.
 
They think they're on a mission.
Some even refer to themselves as 'missionaries'.
Missionaries travel to foreign lands
to make people they've never met
(whose language they hardly speak)
into Christian fundamentalists.
 
but the WORST thing is...
 
Many practicers of Christianity
who don't even consider themselves fundamentalist
behave and postulate like fundamentalist Christians do.

 


 

There's a simple way to
distinguish good beer from bad beer...
(without even tasting it first)

It goes something like this:
If the beer you're drinking is advertised on TV,
chances are... it's CRAP!!

 


 

Promotion Denied

We're not ready to be humans yet.
We are territorial, greedy animals.
It's in our psychology because it's in our biology.
 
We're not ready to be humans yet.
We like to kill each other.
Our social order allows us to kill each other.
 
We're not ready to be humans yet.
We don't take responsibility for our actions.
That would take a wisdom we don't have.
 
Put us back in our cage.
Feed us once a day.
Put us out on the leash.
We're naked 24 hours a day.
 
Let someone else clean up our shit that lays in the master's yard.
It's easier to point fingers and blame.
