Pornography is any act that has no artistic merit and causes sexual thoughts...Sounds like almost every commercial on TV to me.
They tell us "Rock'n'roll is the devil's music." Well, let's say we know that rock is the devil's music, and we know that it is, for sure ... At least he f-kin' jams! If it's a choice between eternal Hell and good tunes, and eternal Heaven and New Kids on the f-kin' Block ... I'm gonna be surfin' on the lake of fire, rockin' out.
I was always 'awake'...Some part of me clamoring for NEW insights and NEW ways to make the world a better place.
They Want You To Be A Docile Apathetic Consumer
I love talking about Kennedy assassination...a great archetypal example of how totalitarian government...sorry, wrong meeting.
How about a positive LSD story? Wouldn't that be news-worthy, just the once? To base your decision on information rather than scare tactics and superstition and lies? I think it would be news-worthy.
Shut up! Go back to bed, America. Your government is in control. Here's Love Connection. Watch this and get fat and stupid.
To me, Texas is Austin, a bunch of cool people trying to make a difference.
not all drugs are good.. some of them are great
I guess what surprised me the most was the discrepancy in casualties: Iraq, one hundred fifty thousand casualties, USA...seventy-nine! Let's go over those numbers again, they're a little baffling at first. Iraq, 150,000, USA 79. Does that mean we could have won with only 80 guys there? Just one guy in a ticker-tape parade, I did it! Hey!
I'm tired of this back-slappin' "isn't humanity neat" bullshit. We're a virus with shoes.
Rock stars against drugs--that's what we want, isn't it? Government-approved rock-n-roll? Woo! We're partying now!
Go back to bed America, your government is in control again. Go back to bed America... you are free to do as we tell you... you are free to do as we tell you...
I get a kick out of being an outsider constantly. It allows me to be creative.
