If You Liked School, You're Gonnnnna Lovvvvve

As A Human Being With Notoriety And A Big Mouth, I've Felt Most Threatened During The First Bush Administration. Whenever There's A Bush In The White House, Many People Die, And The Rest Of Us Are Threatened. I Just Didn't Think It Would Happen Quite So Quickly. The So-called Usa Patriot Act, And The Announcement Of Trying People In Military Tribunals If Bush Or Rumsfeld's Or Ashcroft's People Think They Somehow Qualify As Terrorists, Basically, This Is Mccarthyism Run Amok.

The Sonics I Found Later And That Was Pretty Important

I Was The Kid In The Class Who Was Looking For The Angles To Question Things Or Make Wise-ass Remarks, Not Knowing Enough To Be Afraid Of Being Myself Or Showing Intelligence. But I Wasn't The Only Kid Like That In My Classes Because Of Where I Grew Up. I'm Really Thankful I Grew Up In A Town Where There Were A Lot Of Other Mutant Kids. I'm From Boulder, Colorado, Which Went Through A Lot Of Dramatic Changes When I Was Growing Up.

My Attitude Is If Somebody Blunders Into The Level Of Popularity; At Least Remember The Human Factor. These Guys Are Still Human Beings And Hopefully Still Have Hearts And If You Keep In Touch With Them Rather Than Vilify Them You May Be Able To Encourage Them To Go In The Right Direction. What I'm Hoping Will Eventually Happen Is That They Will Grasp The Amount Of Power And Financial Clout That Is Now At Their Fingertips And Use Those As Tools To Help Real People With Real Things The Way Punk Politics Was Always Designed To Do Before, But Nobody Had Any Money.

Especially In Local Elections, Because Hardly Anybody Pays Attention To Those - But It's Really Important Who's Mayor And Who's On The City Council, County Commissioners, Sheriffs, District Attorney, And Of Course The School Board.
