I wanna see a fair fight! No weapons! Fight fair or stay out of it!" My friend Mr Beer is an old DOA associate too. Shithead is still a good guy. <BR/><BR/>Sister, take me seriously about that 'old' stuff. We're getting to the point where we bring a wealth of experience with us. We are part of an unbroken chain. When I was a kid, I met old time Wobs and founding members of the CP. I've met guys who were in the sit down strikes and like I say I have friends who were on Haight Street before the "Summer of Love". What we have, and must pass on is continuity. You gotta get old(er) to have much of that. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for dropping by.Your driverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06406948739451124566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6291232662827929830.post-12581262410835363392008-08-27T20:06:00.000-07:002008-08-27T20:06:00.000-07:00Hey Jon, thank you for commenting on my Republican...Hey Jon, thank you for commenting on my Republican convention post...I remember the DOA set, and the fight. There was a fight in Detroit AND New York, as I recall. (DOA really brought it out of them, didn't they?)<BR/><BR/>We likely crossed paths several times. <BR/><BR/>And great post, too! :)Daisyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16354486841414802245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6291232662827929830.post-53806288082344776082008-08-18T19:24:00.000-07:002008-08-18T19:24:00.000-07:00Thanks Renegade Eye.

I ...I never really had a problem with having a job. I mean we call the system the system because it is a system. There's no way to live along side it but separate from it. The question is what do you do about it? You're in it. Now what? The idea that you can be a green consumer or some such shit strikes me as being naive. Not a bad idea, but no big deal. Then there's the thing about being proud of your consumption habits. Look it is nice to behave responsibly, but that's what you're supposed to do, you know, I never smoke a bunch of speed, get really drunk and fire my guns at random into the darkness, so I'm a superior person. Right? Finally, there's the thing about alternate careers. It's nice to be able to do something different. The grind is educational, it builds character, but sometimes it is just a fucking grind. What we're really talking about though is SOCIAL CLASS. What? Like "I'm a revolutionary because my parents had money and I have a groovy job, but you're a capitalist because you work in a saw mill hacking up the cadavers of our mother the earth's precious trees." ?? Dude, are you buying that shit? Because I'm not. <BR/><BR/>I sort of realize that I am almost incoherent, but it's the best I can do at the moment. I suppose I could be nicer. In theory at least, they're just kids. Really some of them are at least thirty and it's hard to take them anywhere near as seriously as they take themselves. Don't take me seriously.Your driverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06406948739451124566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6291232662827929830.post-88508499779400889792008-08-17T11:44:00.000-07:002008-08-17T11:44:00.000-07:00As I learned many years ago - the world may just d...As I learned many years ago - the world may just depend on police departments, armies, and every sort of capitalist enterprise employing Anarchists. Turning on and tuning out are generally good ideas, dropping out is optional. There's only room for so many Paul Watsons. There's lots of room for Bugsy Watsons.Mr. Beer N.
