![We come from the days when rap used to agitate the mainstream. Now it's more buddy-buddy. That doesn't sit well with me.

And nothing can agitate you more now than a terrorist threat.](/assets/img/quote-photos/we-come-from-the-days-when-rap-used-to-agitate-the-mainstream-now-its-more-budd.jpg)

rap school careers
I am a political recidivist. An incorrigible, repeat voter. A career lever-pusher. My electoral rap sheet is as long as your arm. Over the course of three decades, I have voted for presidents and school board members. I have voted in high hopes and high dudgeon. I have voted in favor of candidates and merely against their opponents. I have voted for propositions written with such complexity that I needed Noam Chomsky to deconstruct their meaning. I have been a single-issue voter and a marginal voter. I have even voted for people who ran unopposed. Hold an election and I'll be there. Ellen Goodman
