a beach bum lover

He was homeless and home. It was a crumbling boardwalk at Stinson Beach, and we kept making love all over it. One day he went to Bolinas and they killed him there. I took the news with equanimity.

More Parenti [1988 lecture]: Second half of the first mp3 and all of second mp3. Blow your mind. How long have we been screaming about and against and for this stuff? Longer even than this. LISTEN to it! And then look at what we've got. Listen to all the Parenti lectures I've linked, or here he is in a recent Raising Sand broadcast.

I mean, I don't really know why I have to invoke Parenti on you here. Except the man is so incredibly knowledgeable about history, ancient and recent. He just seems to say more clearly what I'm trying to say, I guess, but you should be able the hear it when the truth is coming at you, sense it when bullshit is coming at you, know to always seek to drop what you only think from all this time your school and our media have been conditioning your mind to think what the plutocrats want you to think. You should be doing all that. Every minute of every day. You need the practice thinking critically about your own thinking, all those assumptions you never questioned. Listen to Parenti. Take a look around you. Tell me what we've got.

STOP. LOOK.

I ran across that, and immediate skimmed down to the part about it not being communicable with humans and dropped the whole thing so as not to go screaming naked off a cliff!

I know, I know, they're going to start SAYING they're worried it will mutate into something we will catch.... Price of pork will go through the floor then....

—Viktor Yanukovych

Women really are the other half of the sky.
—John Lennon

Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.
—John F. Kennedy

The trouble with our liberal friends is not that they are ignorant, it's just that they know so much that isn't so.
—Ronald Reagan

Some of us who have already begun to break the silence of the night have found that the calling to speak is often a vocation of agony, but we must speak. We must speak with all the humility that is appropriate to our limited vision, but we must speak.
—Martin Luther King

We're all fucked. I'm fucked. You're fucked. The whole department is fucked. It's the biggest cock-up ever. We're all completely fucked.
—not uttered by anyone in charge lately

Anyone calling Obama a leftist, liberal, or progressive needs to have the stupid beat out of them.
—Old Uncle Dave

As for the Taliban ... their stated grievance is the same as Gen. Washington’s in our war with the British: If you want this war to end, get out of our country.
—Pat Buchanan

Obama-era drone warfare ... in general looks like Bush-era drone warfare on steroids.
—Scott Horton

There has to be altruism in the universe.
—Frank Drake

The morons in Washington are pushing the envelope of nuclear war. The insane drive for American hegemony threatens life on earth. The American people, by accepting the lies and deceptions of “their” government, are facilitating this outcome.
—Paul Craig Roberts

I am a child of the South. Janet Napolitano tells me I need to be afraid of people who are labeled white supremacists but I was raised around white supremacists. I am not afraid of white supremacists. I am concerned about my own government. The Patriot Act did not come from the white supremacists, it came from the White House and Congress. Citizens United did not come from white supremacists, it came from the Supreme Court.
—Cynthia McKinney

No one has to "marry" anyone else politically; no one has to embrace every tenet or belief that an anti-imperialist ally might hold. You simply have to say: "All of us, regardless of our other views, believe this truth to be self-evident: dismantling the empire will bring immediate and enormous benefits to our nation and to the world."
—Chris Floyd

The power of the people on top depends on the obedience of the people below.
—Howard Zinn

...the government only starts listening to its voters once the more corrupt option turns out to be untenable.
—Matt Taibbi

· One out of seven American homeowners will probably lose their homes by the end of 2010.

· Only 4.7 percent of distressed homeowners who enrolled in the modification plan have gotten any help.

· Out of Obama's $75 billion program, only $2.3 million has been spent—or 0.03 percent.

Obama's performance on the foreclosure crisis—along with unemployment, the biggest problem America faces—makes Bush's laissez faire approach to Hurricane Katrina look caring and loving in comparison. If ever there were a cause for impeachment, look no further.
—Ted Rall

As self-appointed champions of civilisation against barbarism, they fail to see that a certain barbarism is the flipside of civilisation itself, inseparable from its smooth operation. For every cathedral, a pit of bones; for every artistic masterpiece, human wretchedness and back-breaking toil.
—Terry Eagleton

Here at home and throughout the world people are fighting back against the forces of wealth, privilege, and militarism — some because they have no choice, others because they would choose no other course but the one that leads to peace and justice.
—Michael Parenti
