Too much dope today?


Why do you ask?

Envious, perhaps?

Are you jonesing because they took away your key to the locked opioid section of the hospital pharmacy?

As for the subject at hand: people fear Mamdani because his message is different than the norm; while I don't claim to fully understand his politics I do believe the current American political system is screwed up and needs to be shaken, stirred and reinvented.

We really CAN do much better than this, and at least he's trying.

revolution


If you are touting a revolution, you don't cue up the Beatles song 'revolution'

or maybe you never paid attention to the lyrics. Emphasis mine

>>>

You say you want a revolution
Well, you know
We all want to change the world
You tell me that it's evolution
Well, you know
We all want to change the world
But when you talk about destruction
Don't you know that you can count me out

Don't you know it's gonna be all right
all right, all right

You say you got a real solution
Well, you know
We'd all love to see the plan
You ask me for a contribution
Well, you know
We're doing what we can
But if you want money
for people with minds that hate
All I can tell is brother you have to wait
[pay attention social justice warriors here]
Don't you know it's gonna be all right
all right, all right
Ah

ah, ah, ah, ah, ah...

You say you'll change the constitution
Well, you know
We all want to change your head
You tell me it's the institution
Well, you know
You better free your mind instead
But if you go carrying pictures of chairman Mao
You ain't going to make it with anyone anyhow
[some here should pay attention to that bit too heh heh]
Don't you know it's gonna be all right
all right, all right
all right, all right, all right
all right, all right, all right

If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose.

I don't want a revolution, I am very familiar with the lyrics to that song.

I posted the link as a cautionary tale.

Yes, I want change, but not violent change.

What's so bad about the guy?

Seems pretty earnest, altruistic and sincere, which is refreshing.




See this is what the pretend lawyer does. This is a troll post, he says the exact opposite of how he knows a lot of people here feel because he wants you to get all upset and jump up and down and scream and yell. That's how he gets his jollies, he told me this years ago. Isn't this how most lawyers act in their spare time, like pimple-faced teenagers? This guy is a clown, I've been trying to tell you people forever.

Spike, the only thing you've been doing forever on these boards is filling space with your vapid, inane comments, thoughts, and opinions.

Sure, I troll quite a bit but so do you: I mean, only an idiot or a troll would continue to post umpteen pics of cats and shitty looking meals constructed with ingredients from food banks on a gambling board and not expect people to vomit and hurl feces at you in protest.

You don't want change. Trump is giving you change. All you do is make a jerk out of yourself whining about it.
