Obviously Choctaws ain’t no different from forked tongues.
“We must all hang together, or we will surely all hang separately.” – Ben Franklin
Seems to me that ol’ Ben wasn’t talking about getting along with most anybody calling themselves a Democrat.
One favorites from Ben Franklin was his description of mobs: “many heads, no brains.”
Could describe lots of groups.
A couple of quotes from Plato:
I exhort you also to take part in the great combat, which is the combat of life, and greater than every other earthly conflict.
He was a wise man who invented beer.
My Brunehilde says Valhalla is for women and dogs only. Some consider Plato wise in spite of being a man. Gives some hope she is wrong for once.
“Let’s all get along” is what the victors say to the vanquished as the victors relieve their victims of all they have.

These posts remind me of the hippies of the 60s and 70s–and that’s an excellent thing. However, the hippies grew up to be the fucking boomers that put bushie into office and they care more about money than they care about others. Obviously, some turned out okay–but some had money hungry kids that also vote for the evils.
Some of my best draft dodging friends are now ex friends because of politics. Enough with the words and pictures–more disruption in the streets is needed. We need a new Tea Party–and a new Democratic Party. Bob Dylan and friends failed to end Nam quickly–street demonstrations did.
Don’t take this too personally–I’m in a very pissy mood. As of now, I am a citizen of the world’s most destructive country. It’s been a long time since I wore tie dye and was intimidated by cops. I thought that day was done–I’m old and I’m bald–my drugs come from a pharmacy, not a kid on the corner–I’m retired from the job that got me my draft deferment. The enemy only knows force–beauty is not in their vernaculum.
i ramble and rant–my bad.
of my community radio’s rock and roll nightime program and requested Lynard skynard’s ‘Free Bird’. We rocked the night away, not on the front porch, the dsignated place for elederly women of indeterminate age, but over the raduio waves.
When I used to do a reggae program in my local community on Sunday nights i used to take a break and go out and gaze beyond the stars to the infinite universe and beyond and believe that in indeterminate aeons from now my voice was still sending Bom Marley’s Redemption Song and Robbie robertson’s Broken Arrow to influence and explain this strange extinct race to those who will surely arrive to sift though our ashes some day.
An old rocker. Reggae rules. Rasta live.
have to go now, my grandson, his team is called the Hawks is playing basketball. My presence has been requested. My Daddy used to tell me, rocking on his knee ‘there is no such word as CAN’T’
wait til i tell you all about my next adventure, it is simmering in the pot.
leave the midnight hour wihtout blasting the skies, whether the moon was full over the mountain or the skies were cloudy with snow, or bright with tomorrow’s blistering heat. it was the incomparable Ruben Blades and ‘Nothing but the Truth’. It has always been my soul anthem.
That to me would be the anthem of change we are all paying homage to.
