Thread Name: Do you play in a Police State?
Subject: RE: Do you play in a Police State?
So are we saying that a police state is a bad thing? How boring it would be for folk music if we weren't all so horribly oppressed. Some of the less enlightened may feel a slight sense of loss after the revolution happens, and we get rid of all this evil, corporate sponsored technology. President Ted Kazcinsky will make sure there aren't any computers, so you'll have to post threads on recycled hemp paper, and people will have to deliver them from place to place on foot, because it will be against the law to use an internal combustion engine. No horses or pack mules either, because we certainly wouldn't want to be exploiting animals.

Of course the upside to the new world order will be no police brutality because there will be no police. (I have it on good authority that the revolution won't be over until "the last police officer is hung by the entrails of the last yuppie") There won't be a need for laws because all the people will live in harmony. By Jiminy, just imagine a world so in tune with the great soul of the universe there will be no need to protest, because everybody will agree on everything and all the world's resources will be shared equally among all of mother earth's creatures. (Imagine no possessions...)

But folk music will suck.
