Get right down to it

(the subtle nitty-gritty),

everything politics

is anti people,

anti arts,

so

we are

relegated  to

livin in a perpetually

anti people, anti art existence

“Political rights do not originate in parliaments, they are, rather, forced upon them from without. And even their enactment into law has for a long time been no guarantee of their security. Just as the employers try to nullify every concession they had made to labour as soon as opportunity offered, as soon as any signs of weakness were observable in the workers' organizations, so governments are always inclined to restrict or to abbrogate completely rights and freedoms that have been achieved if they imagine that the people will put up no resistance. . . . Political rights do not exist because they have been legally set down on a piece of paper, but only when they have become the ingrown habit of a people, and when any attempt to impair them will meet with the violent resistance of the populace.”                                      ~~ Rudolf Rocker ~~

who believes the tide is turning?

That the sum total of all human knowledge

Is pulling this intellectual state into a new Renaissance

Of human thinking and being.  If so, then the worst that man can

Effect upon his fellows and those down in the pig mines doing time on a dime

Is weeping and gnashing and panicking in one last explosive perverted twist of dillusion

& people like your Gores & your Gore Vidals & your Paul Newmans are on the upswing

& all the worst possible shit that the bastids can unleash on the peepes are on the outs

[yeah right, grimace]
