new post, same war

"vote for debs. don't try to decide the election. don't choose between the two evils. vote for that sweet, good, passionate lover of mankind who offers hope and service, and leave the rest to god and the rest of us."

"i will vote for debs as a protest and as an encouragement to the third party idea. i couldn't vote for either of the other parties."

lincoln steffens on voting for debs. make of these quotes what you will.

no mention made of my giving out answers. i knew i liked ugly betty.

a student today on turning 18 and being able to vote. "the candidates they say a lot of shit but they never help the poor. all they do is help the rich. fuck the rich. the rich lick ass." best political commentary i've heard in a while.

listening to rollins and dizzy play a slow blues called "sumphin." it's from an album called duets but luckily does not include an 80 year old sinatra performing with bono. stitt is also on it. pinko, i must send this to you at some uncertain future date, before the power elite brings us to the precipice of destruction.

they still really haven't found something to replace the orgasm, have they?

when you think of it, the students are right in all their arguments with teachers...

the material is boring and has no connection to their daily lives.
they are not allowed to be themselves.
their knowledge is not incorporated into their learning.
teachers are often shallow, ignorant, racist, and just plain boring.

and, it's all bullshit.

they will learn of andrew johnson, but never be told of tina brooks. they will learn science out of a book while the earth around them remains unexplored, and is destroyed with each passing second. they work on math but are never asked to add the dead bodies. they take music classes without listening to music. they are still taught that reconstruction was a failure, that john brown was a maniac, and worse, they are taught nothing at all of so much of the truth. a somali kid just came into the room today and said how great black hawk down was. just like an indian rooting for the cowboys. we offer them nothing than criticize the results. we expose them to nothing and then degrade the little they have been able to find out on their own.

same old deal.

we are fucked.

now say cheese...

click.

the picture never changes.

just look around.
