politics of the here and now

Donnie's campain rethoric has
jumped the snark




Donnie was
 a trump-rocker
 Donnie was

 Donnie was
 a trump-rocker now . . . 
     sung to the obvious most famous Ramones song

 The Insane Don Posse . . . the artistic response to molestor governance?
 
 If you don't get Punk Rock, who the F cares?
 If you don't get [new artistic or political movement], who the F cares?

 
 When the snark bights . . .
 
 "the line forms
 on the Left dear" . . .
 
    
 
 

But the fact is that the rules of cutting edge music, that appeals to the younger generation, are not the same as the rules of polite politics. When some group says that they will riot if the person who they don't like is elected, and no response from various arms of the election committees or of the law enforcers that we hear about . . . because some of these riotous people are friends of those in high places. The threat to riot ought to be enough to get a visit by an earnest officer, who will have a talking to with you, preferably someone who you relate to, who speaks your dialect and who will let you know that rioting is not allowed. It should remain friendly.

Inciting to riot is still a crime, as it should be. And as far as 'do these people get a talking to?' At least if they say it out loud they are giving warning. But basically such threats are heavy handed and abusive. So now we know this about the people who make such threats.

In any case the rules of a rave are much different than the rules of a political rally. In all place the law is still the law. And anyone who is planning riots should worry about being put up on charges of sedition. Politics is one thing, free speech another, insurrection is lawlessness, outside of politics, done by those who have no respect for the decision of the population. If someone is at that level of disbelief then may be it would be best for them to not be part of the process? Not that they don't get a vote but that when they start raving abot starting riots if people they don't like get elected that everyone just ignores them saying, "It's just lupey-head being lupey-head." Meanwhile probably having someone keep an eye on them if they have any kind of following at all.

Everyone knows that a lot of people use words and rethoric that is just for effect, and that they put no force of action behind their arguments and entreats for riotousness. Perhaps to them it is always just an anallogy. When they use a word, perhaps they use it in a way that people don't understand. As far as hateful rethoric and calls for violence, N-word users, for example. If people say something vulgar maybe you didn't hear them correctly? differences in dialect often result in misunderstanding. And, so, even when it seems as thou total and complete breakdown has occured, and that peple have become openly hostile, sometimes it is best to act as if you didn't hear what you think that they said. You can ask for clarification, if that helps. In a political discussion that should happen. And clarification ought to be provide even before asked for when someone makes what many hear as incindiary calls or entreats for rioting.

It's not that they are calling for a rave. It isn't going to be Loollapalloza. No one is promising Rock bands. The stage show that you love most of all isn't going to be there. No one wants to know your favorite anything. The call for a riot isn't asking everyone to BYOB. It isn't saying "carry in, carry out." They aren't asking you to purchase a Hike Safe card, and assume responsibility. You don't need to take out an insurance policy to go and demonstrate. A riot isn't a demonstration.

I'm all for the kids having a rave. Everyone is there by choice. Usually they have insurance. They pretty much have to pay for security. Dance until your socks fall off.

Forget rioting. It never helps.

 
 
 The best that you could ever say, to anyone at such a rave,
 is that they don't represent a movement but
 only themself.
 
 so if you look at one 
 and make him/her/? an example
 for all of them, and
 then from your
 actuarriall desk (but you don't 
 work for 
 an insurance compnay but
 a poltical agenda-mongering
 arm of a governance (of the secret
 aristorcracy of ideologica nepotism)
 a dorkulous wonk for
 the larger dominatrix-governace
 of the great grand-children of
 the most corrupted from many 
 generations ago (or so it seems).
 
 People who don't care what you
 F in think or
 F in want or say
 and who may not, in fact,
 actually exist?
 So why does my making stories about them
 make you so pa-iss-t
     
Everyone's dancing
just want they wan'
some of these people
drove all the way
from Vermon'
and that's a far way to go
they want to let you know
that you got let it show
let the true love flow.

Everyone's singing
some various tune.
they have the festival each year
this time
come the full moon.
And some of these peole
drove all the way from LA
it's a long way to go
so let's get on our way.

Political
Response

snark aside
or
snarkacide

I don't want to kill snark
but let people learn 
the appropriate comic
use

if you want a snarkacide, then why
would you insert a snarky aside.

Is it snarky, funny snarky or just
lame snarky?

MISSING YOU TONIGHT

a song in the tradition of crooners
and lovers true

words and lyrics by Billy

Missing you
tonight
Missing you
while the moon is bright
tonight
tonight
I'll ne'er be blue
when I'm with you.
Missing you
tonight
sound of the forest
and star light
tonight
tonight
while the river is bright
with the Moon reflecting
as rivers of light

Missing you
tonight
Missing you
while the Moon is bright

the forest sways
the river sasheys
the clouds roll in
but they just augment the sight

Missing you
tonight
Missing you
with the moon so bright
tonight
I'll never be blue
I'll never be blue
if I'm with you

oh my dear
you've been
crying
for change
but
you have to understand
most things
always stay the same
you can't go off riding
on the happy trails to range
far and wide
up to the sky

you're not 
her guy.

Oh my dear
you've been crying
for relevence
but you have to understand
that most hours pass
without anyone noticing
anything
anything
about you
but you still matter
You still matter.
you still matter
even though no body seems to care

Here is today's pretty poem:

  

the little lamb
goes bounding off in gleeful leaps
when he hears the shepard's voice.
 
    

Big moon
in the midnight sky
big big moon
all across the sky
you can see the crowd
as the marching band
marches by
take the crowd a'dancing
off toward the stars.

There's a river
of infinite love
flooding from on high
through the heart of all.

There's a river
of infinite hope
flushing through the gorges
through the heart of all.

Spread your wings and fly away
off into your day
off into your all
