Fight!
Topic: Daily Info

With precision you feed me
My witness i'm hungry
Your temple it calms me
So I can carry on
My slaving sweating the skin right off my bones
On a bed of fire i'm choking on the smoke that fills my home
The wrecking ball rushing
My witness your blushing
The pipeline is gushing
While here we lie in tombs
While on the corner
The jury's sleepless
We found your weakness
And it's right outside your door

Now testify
Testify, Rage Against The Machine

First, a big resounding FUCK YOU to Ohio. Lemme say that another way. FUUUUUCK YOU Ohio. You can all eat shit. Fuckers. Are you blind? You are one of the worst off states due to Bush. Given that you believed otherwise against clear and present facts, I have a few bridges and parks you may be interested in buying.

Ya' done fucked up, America. Congratulations on endorsing a group of people that want regression.

I have changed my mind (Yes, I can do that, dogged, concrete thinking is a sign of mental instability, ask a psychologist). I shall stay here, and I shall fight hard with every ounce of my being. I will point out every logical inconsistency. I will point out out every flaw and every contradiction. I will make it painfully obvious that this decision was wrong. I shall be front and center at every protest. We may have been defeated, but the margin was not that great. We may have been defeated, but this does not mean we have to roll over and take it.

I encourage all of you who feel down-hearted and disenfranchised to stand up and fight. We can keep these things on everyone's minds, we can keep pressing. Nothing is more powerful than an unrestful populace, so we must remain unrestful. Remember, there are another set of crucial elections in 2 years, and there we can hope to yank control of the legislature away from the regressors. Two years is long time, but we can make it. We just have to be willing to stand up and be strong.

It would be nice if there were healing but that would require a step away from the fundamentalism that is running this country. And if what is meant by healing is embracing or tolerating fundamentalism, I never want any healing. I want to shred that wound open and rout out this infection.

We may have lost this day, but the margin is not large enough to be called a mandate. So we must question and fight at every turn. Questioning your elected officials is the most patriotic things you can do, and let no one tell you otherwise. I will continue to be hypercritical of all my elected officials, and I will not let them lie to me. I will not stand down. I will not concede. And I encourage you to do the same. We will win forth in the long run, but to do that, we cannot back off now.

Power to the people.
