Why Protest? " Because ever since I was a baby crawling around the TV set i've been suckered, lied to and propagandized. The kind of psychological abuse i've been subjected to may not be as bad as sexual abuse but, believe me, it leaves lifelong scars nonetheless. I feel empty, soulless, mindfucked...and now its payback time." - Adbusters

I think I may be one of the few people who dislike adbusters...
I can't wait until the day schools are over-funded and the military is forced to hold bake sales to buy planes.

The Rican wrote:the 60's were great, people were awakened or whatever but, they did not accomplish anything. not a godamn thing got done, those protests were just a few reasons to get together and get high. protest is a right, and god bless all of you that do it. but it's a sham, you were told that if you protest, people with authority will listen. that's not true, no one has or ever will listen to you. what you need to do is threaten the political structure by runing for office on your own premise, not taking any money from corporations, by making the demo/republi monster the minority. when you take over the school board, the city council, the state representative seat, and the state senator seats, they'll notice.


my personal take on protest.
Whenever death may surprise us,
let it be welcome
if our battle cry has reached even one receptive ear
and another hand reaches out to take up our arms.


Nobody's gonna miss me, no tears will fall, no ones gonna weap, when i hit that road.
my boots are broken my brain is sore, fer keepin' up with thier little world, i got a heavy load.
gonna leave 'em all just like before, i'm big city bound, your always 17 in your hometown

But atleast you get your voice out there. The sad part, is that very little politicians actually listen.

it's like talking to trees.

it might work, but there's no real evidence that it does.

Yes there is. Talking to plants blows Carbon Dioxide in their direction which is obviously needed in photosynthesis. Our last biology lab was based on that concept.


Besides, if no one protested would anyone other then white males have any rights?

Goodbye you liar,
Well you sipped from the cup but you don't own up to anything
Then you think you will inspire
Take apart your head
(and I wish I could inspire)
Take apart your demons, then you add it to the list.

A much more fun thing to do it to proptest/fauxtesting.

That's going to a protest and protesting something entirely random. Like going to a lesbian rally and protesting Robosexual rights or something stupid like that.

"Romania sucks! Romania sucks!"

"Fur is murder! Fur is Murder!"

"Oh wait, what are we protesting?"

"Romania sucks!"

I have a friend from Romania.

Queens Of The Stone Age-Someone's In The Wolf

Once you're lost in twillights's blue
You don't find your way, the way finds you...

Tempt the fates, beware the smile
It hides all the teeth, my dear,
What's behind them...

So glad you could stay
Forever

He steps between the trees, a crooked man
There's blood on the blade
Don't take his hand

You warm by the firelight, in twilight's blue
Shadows creep & dance the walls
He's creeping too..

So glad you could stay
Forever
