Uh-Oh! A political and a race discussion all at once. Dare I Speak? I am origionally from the deep south and hyper sensitive to being labled a racist/conservative/republican. I should just go ahead and STFU. I am definately not a republican, and really not a dem. Bushie isn't good at speaking and just can't seem to got a point worth a shit across that apeals to the working class. (was pleasently suprised though at his speach at the NAACP conf. yesterday) But as much shit as there is to lay on him and his party the other side has plenty of blood on their hands too. LBJ was a dem. Failed social welfare programs, corecting past atrocities by legalising descrimination against people three and four generations later with quotas, The Clinton admin's healthcare reforms. ($350/mo for me and a spouse with my employer paying a chunk for health insurance, before I even get sick, then there is the copays, deductibles,etc) What a crock. I would rather vote for some one who had to hustle to get by, to make a buck. A congressman cries about his office being raided after he is caught red handed receiving bribes. Calls it racist? Please. That card has been so over played that people actually start to believe it when they shouldn't and ignore it when it needs to be noticed. Don't get me wrong. We all bleed red, we all want a better life, but for some one to get rich by stirring up trouble is disguesting. Our City Council here is aweful. Five members serving federal time in the last ten years. All seperate incidents. All will come home to better jobs than a person who was convicted of having an oz of weed. It's a crazy situation. But in the end, I have traveled all over the world and as fucked up as this may be I don't think there is another country I would rather live in. I guess the music here is just that much better . It seems to be a bond that can tie together across any and all cultural lines. I welcome anyone who is willing to be a fuctional part of our society and pay their fair share. Peace |
