We are here to warn you
Innocent shopper buyer
We are here to warn you
They’re gonna say buy or die
Business is on parade
Corporate scam charade
Crumbs for the poor
Rich man’s profits soar
Government by the rich
Poor man’s life is a bitch
Don’t believe what the politicians do
Don’t believe what they say
All they wanna to is fuck you, get fat on their pay
- Lyrics for Business on Parade by MDC.
I am a punk, albeit an old punk that avoids slam dancing anymore (I just don’t heal like I used to:-), but I still maintain an anarchistic/libertine streak in me.
Deep down inside I want to see a violent and bloody revolution wherein the American people rise up and literally burn the whole fucking thing down and start over. Unfortunately I don’t see this happening anytime soon. We as a culture and people have grown comfortable and complacent and there isn’t a single thing/common cause that can unite us...yet. So I will bide my time and teach my children well. But until my nirvana comes to pass I need to participate in our governmental system regardless of how distasteful I find it, because I feel pretty confident that there is not a politician alive that is looking out for our best interests.
For me the only difference between a democrat and a republican is that one starts with a d and one starts with an r. I don’t like politicians not any. I think they are nothing but a bunch of lying self-serving cretins that are only interested in; how to enrich themselves and how to stay in power, they certainly don’t represent everyday/normal/average people. They are multi-millionaires or at the very least multi-hundred thousandaires and hold people like you and me in contempt. Let’s face it, they are really rich and will do whatever is necessary to increase their power. Okay there might be 5 or 6 honest (?) politicians out there but power does corrupt so they won’t be honest for long.
Many of you by now may be wondering what is this guy doing here? Doesn’t he know that dkos is here to elect democrats? Yep I know that. I’ve read some of the FAQ’s but the anarchist in me says... I guess that I am really looking for interesting people to have conversations/arguments/debates with. The right wing sites I have visited are painfully boring. Not that there might me some interesting people floating around on those sites but they aren’t talking about anything that interests me. So I have come here. Lucky you huh. I have posted a few comments, some have been good others I have fucked up. I don’t get too many replies or recommends because there is a 15 to 18 hour time difference from where I work and the States, so I catch the tail end of discussions and read a lot. Subsequently I have no mojo (and yes that was a blatant solicitation for some).
There may be some of you who would like to know how I intend on voting. My first choice was Edwards, then Hillary and now... maybe during the convention I can stage a coup de’tat because I don’t like the presumptive nominee, (for any government agency that may be monitoring this, FISA sucks and fuck you I’m just kidding about the coup, at least that's my story and I am sticking to it). Since I would be able to pull that off then I will vote for the demolican, er I mean the repuglicrat um I mean Barrama oops Nadain. I will vote for one of the crappy choices we have. Obfuscation is my intent, damn I shoulda been a politician.
