  • @shugmcglug You cannot remake this.... to do so would be sacrilege. Rest easy.

  • Live..

  • @chalicechiq ~ this is better than Christmas, I dreamed of the day PEOPLE ALL would stand up. We all can stop by our LOCAL BanK of "America".. Now its said banks hold 65% of the Gross National Product. And that means the banks are IN the drivers seat. We need to all be counted, only demonstrating in the STREETS is working..so we have to just be there. Nites, mornings, after hours..everyone Senators wont and House reps Dont support jobs. This is the time of our lives.

  • @TREYOLDHIPPIE Which is why the Occupy movements, starting with Wall Street, are going viral. He was right: the revolution will not be televised. It will be tweeted, shared, texted, emailed, podcast and posted on YouTube. :)

  • some fine rap, with relevance. the revolution is still waiting for the nation as a whole, where people will demand their rights as this nation USA was founded on. For now, it is run by the rich who buy the senators and congressmen. the president is powerless, no matter how fair or reasonable his ideas may be. and the press is owned by a few, they convince us its the president's fault. all of it. and the money keeps rolling in. bring it

  • Gil I just like to know can Detroit still be saved, cause we still are almost losing Detroit today even,,,,like to know your output on it now. still the same huh?
