new music.<br /><br />Listening to nowhere man on the Rubber Soul album right now- it's never sounded better.<br /><br />So you think MMT was the turning point leading us to hell?<br />haha. did you ever notice that the Beatles pretty much stayed away from any protest music- and briefly promoted drug experimentation which they quickly rejected once they got that out of their system.<br /> Happiness is a warm gun is about as political as they got.<br /><br />...Of course there was "Taxman" but it sounded pretty much the same lyrics as I would have written.<br /><br />frankly John Lennon was about as conservative as I am in a lot of ways, but some people just can't get by the optics of long hair and counterculture habits.<br /><br />Mexico was a wonderful nation full of wonderful people before the drug war began.. now it's a hell hole of terrorism and it's directly attributable to the ongoing drug war that has broken the nation, left us with a police state and allowed tyrannical overlords to populate the Oval Office.<br /><br />..and the problem is worse than ever here in the US.. a reasonable person might want to try the Portugese approach if we ever want to make progress.. but no chance of that in this political environment eh?- we will continue to erect illogical laws and build prisons never stopping to think maybe it's our fault we need those prisons.<br

/><br />Reading,listening to either serious music or talk radio takes a degree of concentration and the brain is forced to interpret and translate information.<br /><br />Visual stimuli on the other hand presents you with all that pre-digested and ready for consumption- all that's left is to choose either to accept or reject it.<br /><br />I know people who get all their political information on TMZ- not exactly deep thinkers those- sadly they vote.<br /><br />..we have developed a totally dependent, visually oriented society that has embraced the shunt that bypasses what foundational based logic used to filter out.<br />..It's no wonder the old "look, a squirrel" tactic works every time- the average JSP and his heina have the same degree of concentration and self control as the average Chihuahua additionally enslaved through a compulsion of easy credit.<br /><br />..Engineered stupidity as a result of a squandered educational process coupled with the rejection of the Principle of Natural Law has left us with a society that needs only choice in who it will be to fill those needs or in other words who it's master will be.<br /><br />..enter the nannystate government- "I'm from the government and I'm here to help"<br /><br />Ask yourself what example does history hold up of a great civilization that has allowed itself to be corroded from within, can you name one that has pulled back this close to the brink once critical mass has been exceeded?<br /><br />I sure as hell can't.<br /><br />..and what's worse, I missed the 5 O'clock express to Willoghby

agree. Just read some of the crap on the <i>Republic Politics</i> blogs from some of these diehard Obama lovers; especially the women like Gratehouse, Erfle, and Bombach and idiots Bodo and Mike. To them our imitation president is their hero. It just shows that going to school doesn't necessarily make one smart. Common sense can't be taught.<br /><br />Speaking of Mike, he hasn't been on for about a week. He must be on vacation or he is tired of nobody reading his crappola. Same with sauerkraut boy.
