The End Posted March 15, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2004 I have this song playing at ELEVEN. Backstreets. by B.S. One soft infested summer, me and Terry became friends Trying in vain to breathe the fire we was born in Catching rides to the outskirts, tying faith between our teeth Sleeping in that old abandoned beach house, getting wasted in the heat And hiding on the backstreets Hiding on the backstreets With a love so hard and filled with defeat Running for our lives at night on them backstreets Slow dancing in the dark on the beach at Stockton's Wing Where desperate lovers park, we sat with the last of the Duke Street Kings Huddled in our cars, waiting for the bells that ring In the deep heart of the night they set us loose of everything To go running on the backstreets Running on the backstreets Terry, you swore we'd live forever Taking it on them backstreets together Endless juke joints and Valentino drag Where famous dancers scraped the tears up off the street, dressed down in rags Running into the darkness, some hurt bad, some really dying At night sometimes it seemed you could hear the whole damn city crying Blame it on the lies that killed us, blame it on the truth that ran us down You can blame it all on me, Terry, it don't matter to me now When the breakdown hit at midnight, there was nothing to say But I hated him, and I hated you when you went away Laying here in the dark, you're like an angel on my chest Just another tramp of hearts crying tears of faithlessness Remember all the movies, Terry, we'd go see Trying to learn to walk like the heroes we thought we had to be And after all this time, to find we're just like all the rest Stranded in the park and forced to confess To hiding on the backstreets Hiding on the backstreets Where we swore forever friends On the backstreets until the end Hiding on the backstreets Hiding on the backstreets Hiding on the backstreets Hiding on the backstreets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It appears so far they want the market higher on the terrorist victory in Spain. A big victory for the darkside bringing down the government.

Guest Posted March 15, 2004 Report Share Posted March 15, 2004 If the public gets too upset then regime change is an option... It did not matter who won in Spain...both outcomes can be spun for maximum effect... To fool the public into thinking something is happening... Anzar down, Bush and Blair next Nothing will change...just a period of false victory to sedate the masses... Yes, if Shrub goes down, then in comes another piece of neoconservative filth, Kerry. I find it noteworthy that the moment the neocons obtained some official political power was with Raygun in 1981. This is also when borrow and spend went on steroids -- out with Volker, in with Greasepan. It's much like the point when a pilot circling an airport that cannot take landings safely, decides he must land, consequences be damned, and starts his descent. If I remember correctly, you call this point, about 23 years ago, the start of the final death march toward debt deflationary implosion. What we call neoconservative is the outward political expression of this death march. In your postings, I'd like to read more of your thoughts on usury, which in my opinion is the motivation behind running the world on a monetary system that is literally designed, and hence at least once intended by the few at the top, to implode. I agree that it's certain arithmatic logic, simply flowing from the interest attached. When a subgroup of a society leaches off the rest, and greedily sucks as much blood as it can, it eventually produces economic implosion. This was true, and happened in history, even in the less-sophisticated days before centralized fractional reserve banking. Thus, today's organization and self-justification of the top - plutocracy - is essentially the same thing as the more primitive priestly theocracy of Mesopotamia circa 6,000 B.C. Both still use metaphysical and/or philosophical sophistry, supplemented by armed thugs, to lord it over and suck off of everybody else, while creating the illusion they are good, positive people who are doing no such thing. It seems to me that for us humans to get out of this now 8,000 year old cycle, we need to learn how to organize ourselves in a civil manner that discourages and disincentivizes usury, in any and all of its possible forms, to the greatest extent possible. Stating the solution is simple. Create an order that makes it difficult to gain claims on societies resources in any way other than by performing value-creating activity and/or value-added product. Doing this as a practical manner, and in a way that does not involve a powerful state, and the parasitic class that always comes attached, is quite problematic and never been solved.

The End Posted March 15, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2004 I don't believe we, as humans, will ever get out of this cycle. Power corrupts. Period. That will never change IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 15, 2004 Report Share Posted March 15, 2004 I don't believe we, as humans, will ever get out of this cycle. Power corupts. Period. That will never change IMO. Most unfortunately, you may well be right, as discouraging and depressing as I find it. I fully understand why you and many others believe that. I enjoy trying to think of solutions, or at least improvements, anyway, even if doing so is completely impractical, just for the sake of my own spiritual wellbeing.

The End Posted March 15, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2004 The next album in my computer ain't too bad either. V.H. Fools Well, I ain't about to go to school. And I'm sick and tired of golden rules. They say I'm crazy, from the wrong side of the tracks. I never see them, but they're always on my back. Well, I'm sick and tired of cleaning room. And it's the final bell for pushing broom. Damned if I do, and then I'm damned if I don't. Won't someone tell me what it is they all want? It makes me blue! Ooh, I live with fools! Ooh, it makes me blue! Ooh, I live with fools! I just can't take it! My teachers all gave up on me. No matter what they say, I disagree. And when I need something to soothe my soul, I listen to too much rock 'n' roll. Don't want no class reunion. This circus just left town. Why behave in public if you're livin' on a playground? It makes me blue! Ooh, I live with fools! Ooh, it makes me blue! Ooh, I live with fools! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
