recipe for revolution...

1. revolt against remote, oppressive authority imposing laws restricting freedoms...

2. declare a representative form of gummint with a relatively progressive and complete guideline to maintain a self-correcting system of governance that benefits most people...

3. resist natural impulse of each branch of gummint to accumulate power; maintain transparency, oversight, and control of gummint institutions; and modify laws to comport with modern mores...

4. ensure that a free, unfettered, unintimidated, non-corporate media performs their fiduciary duty in keeping the citizenry informed of gummint/etc actions and policies...

5. immortal, immoral, super-rich, faceless, unaccountable, fictitious legal entities (ie korporations) work like termites 24/7/365 to undermine and subvert the above measures to accumulate power/money in excess of what is beneficial to society...

6. unchecked, unquestioned, unlimited korporate power/influence dominate the social agenda, corrupt gummint, evade or overturn legal safeguards, and otherwise dismantle civil/human rights for the 'goal' of a 'stable' (ie oppressed), 'peaceful' (ie quiet and compliant), 'profitable' (ie rich get richer), and 'safe' (ie no dissent) society, which puts a price on everything, and values nothing...

7. the sheeple stop their grazing and look up...

...to find they don't recognize 'their' (sic) country anymore

8. repeat as necessary... (police state permitting)

come the revolution, korporadoes will not be lionized...

abstract, schmabstract...

wallpaper, i call it...

whether a 4 year old or a 90 year old, i wouldn't spend a dime on a piece of canvas with semi-random acrylic splashes on it, no matter how 'sophisticated', 'pretty', or 'genius-like' the result...

the potential (even unconscious) con game story is interesting, but the attendant story of the fraud that is modern/abstract art is more revealing and telling of our hollow, korporate kultur running an upscale scam...

come the revolution, abstract art will be too, well, abstract...

sweet geebus, can't we send all the shrill prudes and stiff pricks to singapore...

the disassociation with reality that many (most?) saloonists appear to be a victim of (without benefit of 'drugs'!), is truly astounding...

hee hee hee

i wonder that you can get through a day without narcing on someone, or making a citizen's arrest on some reprobate you deem unworthy, or otherwise jumping to hysterical and unfounded conclusions based on bit-brained (on/off, good/bad) propaganda you've internalized... *snort*

ho ho ho

i also wonder about inexperienced nekkid apes who don't have a clue about the differences between various drugs and their effects; really, not well informed sheeple at all... please, stop proffering your ignorant opinions and rigid prejudices on this subject...

ha ha ha

come the revolution, 'pure', calvinist scolds will be told to piss off...

...in fact, why wait: piss off, you faux moralizers...

is don tilde tilting at imagined windmills ? ? ?

...or making the harsh judgment self-satisfied saloonists are too frightened to contemplate ? ? ?

if 'our' (sic) gummint is broken; if 'our' (sic) kongresskrittes are ineffectual (at minimum); if 'our' (sic) media has deserted us; if 'our' (sic) voting is rigged (or our choices constrained to korporatocracy kandidates); if fascistic, authoritarian, repressive police state actions, attitudes and policies ARE the law of the land; if the courts have become coopted, complicit, and aconstitutional in supporting and approving these outrages, WHAT recourse is left to the citizenry ? ? ?

didn't jfk talk about how when all public institutions are not responsive to the will of the people, when officialdom has become corrupted, when there is no outlet for dissent, then what the hell else can you expect but revolution ? ? ?

we talk about the blood sacrifice of our youngest and stupidest being spent unnecessarily in innumerable 'police actions', 'interventions', 'preemptive wars', and other illegal, immoral, ineffective, destructive, inhumane actions we have taken in our his story; but to mention that human blood might have to be shed to restore the ideals, constitutional rights, and protections of a society of laws, is not allowed...

would we have had our first american revolution given that attitude ? ? ?

wasn't it jefferson (and others) who averred that we would probably need a re-revolution every couple hundred years to reestablish the will of the people ? ? ?

do you think he meant that blogs would settle such future dilemmas, and bloodshed had become a thing of the past ? ? ?

when IS IT 'worth it' to win back with blood what our brave and principled forefathers paid for in blood ?

does this generation have the stomach for it, or is it all downhill from here ? ? ?

come the revolution, i'll be on the same side of the razor wire with you, tilde...
