HOW TO RESURRECT A DEMOCRACY ON LIFE SUPPORT (PART 2)

Why do we always get politicians who say : "Vote for me and I will do this, this and that"
Why do we never get politicians who will say : "Vote for me and I will do what YOU want"
Then get elected by a landslide, organize a referendum with all the major issues (in a multiple
question format) and go by his day to implement the results...

And my senses newly opened
I awakened to cry-
That the people have the power to redeem the work of fools


("People Have The Power"    PATTI SMITH)





So Aristotle living in an Apollonian environment with utter disregard for the Dionysian
thought he created the perfect system. Which wasn't, as it could be manipulated by the
flawed nature of humans. Manipulated to such a degree that today, it even legitimizes
the crookedness of politicians.
See, if someone stabs me I'd prefer to see the white of his eyes not the smirk on his face.

The living that is owed to me I'm never going to get
They've buggered this old world up, up to their necks in debt
They'd give you a lobotomy for something you ain't done
They'll make you an epitomy of everything that's wrong

Do they owe us a living?
Of course they do, of course they do

("Do They Owe Us A Living?"  CRASS)




I want Crippled Black Phoenix instead of 70's soft porn flick soundtrack
I want Schrodinger's Cat instead of TV reality
I want tit(s) instead of tat
I want fresh fruit instead of rotting vegetables
I want revolution inste....er, sorry, I thought I was young again....

I read somewhere recently and i don't remember who said it (goes to prove I ain't young anymore)
that "Democracy has nothing to do with percentages. It's not a matter 30%, 60% or 80%. Not even
a matter of the (in)famous 50+1%. Democracy is all for one and one for all. Because if it's not all
for one and one for all then, it's all for nothing..."
Wish I could remember who said it to him credit because he deserves it. He's a hero in my book
of sharp minds.

If you didn't care
What happened to me
And I didn't care
For You
We would zig-zag our way through the boredom and pain
Occasionally glancing up through the rain
Wondering which of the buggers to blame
And watching for pigs on the wing

("Pigs On The Wing"   PINK FLOYD)
(Wrong cover but looks great with signatures)

I don't mean to sound biter, cold or cruel, but I am
So that's how it comes out.
