JOE HILL

The true story of Joe Hill, IWW activist and songwriter.
(IWW = the folks that brought us the "weekend", and the 8 hour day, and bought it for all of us with their blood and prison time.)
A history lesson in a song... written by Phil Ochs, performed by Billy Bragg.

AMAZING AIN'T It ?

Less and Less information about liberal or left politics via Google.

Try Sacho and Venzetti from Google, then try another Search Engine.

Funny isn't it ?

Time to go underground friends.

try spelling Sacco and Vanzetti properly and you might get better google search results... or better still open a book... :-)

"...the greatest change we need to make is from consumption to production, even if on a small scale, in our own gardens. If only 10% of us do this, there is enough for everyone. Hence the futility of revolutionaries who have no gardens, who depend on the very system they attack, and who produce words and bullets, not food and shelter."

I am from Utah. I never heard of Joe Hill till today when I watched a KUED documentary on his life and execution. He was an innocent man convicted on the phone just of events is constitutional rights violated and railroad to death by Utah. It is definitely dark spotting Utah history.

Why is that?

Mormor means maternal grandmother.

"mormor"? You still don't make sense. No one calls me Randy. Punching someone in the face is a stupid way of making an argument. You're from Chicago and you don't know what I am talking about or even how to write? Don't you ever watch or read the news? "Coming out of the closet" refers to a guy who finally admits he is gay, like famous evangelical preacher Ted Haggard. Your repetitive use of "fag" makes me think you are one who won't admit it, like Haggard who did the same.

i really don't know what you're talking about. i think maybe my page got hacked, i haven't watched this video since september 2012. if your my buddy randy i'm gonna punch you in the face, if you're not that randy gotta repost cause i have no idea what you're talking about. as far as a swede goes i am very much from chicago, my mormor was the consulate general. i have no idea what you're talking about with art and what not

[randall2020]

Well something that could make you write sense. What do you have against "restaurateurs", which is French, not English, for restorers of art works, though the word is the same for restaurant owners, and what do either of them have to do with fags? Anyway, I with your vocabulary, I think it is time you came out of the closet like Ted Haggard.
