Ain't no new thing, Norm. The powers that be are a drag. Some folks had faith in democrat Andrew Jackson or democrat Lyndon Johnson. We gotta get back to the spot where we turned towards the idea that individuals can speak for the masses. We gotta turn the other direction. If you go left or right in a swamp, you're still in a swamp. Back to go forward, I say.
may peace prevail on earth~wouldnt it be nice to live as one in harmony~ sharing and caring and loving and daring and being fully consiously responsible by living in the heart~ peace dear brother~ we are one
26,30,62 Books should never be cooked. Financial records should not be falsified. Books should never be burned, even if they don't sell. Not even the Holy Bible, Revelations, Thessalonians, the Dalai Lama's 4 Noble Truths, the Runes, 50 Simple Things You Can Do to Save the Earth, or Karl Marx on the Jewish Question.

45-50 The Who song "Won't Get Fooled Again" prays aloud that we won't get fooled again by right-wing political parties pretending to be on the left. But we did. The Who sang it at half-time of the 2010 Super Bowl, decrying the same bog' bullshit by the Republicrats that I'm protesting here. (The Who songwriter/protagonist Pete Townsend is often a preacher in his lyrics; so Biblical allusions throughout this poem relate to that dynamic.)
56 The boll weevil (Anthonomus grandis Boheman [NOT Bohemian]) is a beetle pest that infests cotton. In the 1920s it hurt all cotton farms in the US. Politically, Boll Weevils are right-wing Democrats. Most of them were White and in the South, hence the name. Now, all Democrats in the Federal Government are extremely far-right-wing, bordering on Fascist.
56 "bombed back to the stone age" was what 1960s neo-Fascist US Military Chief of Staff Gen. Curtis Lemay wanted to do to North Vietnam. It's what Bush Administration neo-Fascist Richard Armitage threatened to do to Pakistan in 2005. (Armitage is the traitor who committed Treason by outing US spy Valerie Plame.) Others said that Kosovo was and Iraq will be "bombed back to the Middle Ages." Right-wing neo-Fascists always want to bomb somebody.
57-60 In Christoph Gluck's 1762 opera Orpheus and Euridice, retelling the Greek myth, the ruler of the Underworld agrees to let Euridice follow her lover Orpheus (the poet-musician) back to the land of the living, IF he doesn't look back.
62 To assert that you are correct about that which someone else doubts, wager on it ("Wan' BET?!" or "BET?!"). If they still doubt you, tell them that it "Says it in the book." This debating strategy was popularized by my cool cousin Eddie Pond in the 1960s.
65 Running for President, Barack Obama claimed to be a "fierce defender" of Gay rights, but he was lying: As President, he has fired over 1,000 people from the US Military just for being Gay. He claims he needs Congress to pass some law so that he can stop firing them. That's a lie. He pretends that he needs some study or permission from the Military.
That's another lie: As President, he is Commander and Chief of the Armed Forces, and, just as President Truman ordered the Military to stop discriminating against Blacks, Obama can order an end to discrimination against Gays. But he won't do it, because he's a liar. How bog'!

@xyylil?
violence has not always, or all ways been perpetuated (by man)
the tide ends with each awakened being who stops being fooled.
