It has to start somewhere, it has to start sometime. What better place than here? What better time than now?

As AliUptown and I watched Rage Against the Machine’s amazing performance at Lollapalooza last month proselytizing that if Obama is elected in November (and for fucks sake he better be) that they’re going to have to start listening to the people again or (to paraphrase) a lot of angry citizens are going to burn down Washington, D.C., I couldn’t help but feel that RATM had become what the MC5 were to the ‘68 DNC. Mind you, this was a month before the ‘08 DNC where similar comparisons were being made mostly to stir up incident by Fucks News. I told this theory at the time to the few people around me who seemed to shrug in apathy/unfamiliarity. And I think that is the essential problem in the world today. A lack of History.

On NPR this week they interviewed Nobel Prize-winning Economist Joseph Stiglitz who wrote a book about the projected overall cost of this pointless, endless war. On the conservative side it will cost 3 trillion dollars. This is money we should be spending IN AMERICA on schools and healthcare and social security. Why do the nuts always off the people speaking out for peace? I say we off the war pigs and we can plea sanity when they take us to court. Was “avenging” the lives of 3,000 Americans worth our future? How were those people in the WTC more important than the soldiers and innocents that have died since then? (probably over a million)
