Waiting for the Beat

Your mind will be punched in a card and shut away in a little drawer.

When they want you to buy something they will call you.

When they want you to die for profit they will let you know.

So, friends, every day do something that won’t compute.

From
Manifesto: The Mad Farmer Liberation Front
by Wendell Berry

I didn’t know she was into tattoo’s… this one in Latin has some interesting meanings.

quod me nutrit me destruit - what nourishes me also destroys me

or more commonly

quod me alit, me extinguit - what feeds me, extinguishes me

or maybe it has the same roots as the Friedrich Nietzche quote

what does not kill me, makes me stronger

as always we come back to  dan le sac VS scroobius pip.

thou shalt always kill

In this case someone has definitely used poetry art and music to get into Angelina’s pants… but who wouldn’t.

If scroobius pips reference to tommy cooper left you wondering…

At first I didn’t take these lighthearted attempts at humor seriously.  Some members of my own family like to accidentally confuse Obama with Osama.  I knew it was racism but I was sure that reason would win.

Unfortunately these “jokes” have now taken a very ugly turn and the sentiment is becoming so prevalent that I’m starting to get scared.

There is enough racial tension in this country without the news media, political opponents and potential running-mates inciting violence.

In the past All it took to assassinate a president was one crazy man and today we have what appears to be a concerted effort across the entire white race to get Obama murdered.

I’m not a McCain supporter but I’ll never wish that those who tortured and imprisoned him be congratulated.

I may want to see Bush on trial for his war crimes but even if found guilty putting him to death would be as wrong as the death he has spread to other people.

This isn’t about political lynching anymore.  This is about real lynching.  A large part of white America hates Obama as much as they hate Osoma and the want to see them both killed.

How can this be?

I grew up in a completely white community but was taught to honor and respect people from all races. It seems that my teachers have abandoned their ideas of love and have embraced a strange form of white power.

What is wrong with this country?
