999: "I care what GfS thinks about the issue. I don't always appreciate the way he says it, but I read his ideas as I do everyone else's. My read is that he's completely fed up with the two-party system, and that seems to be what OWS is saying, although perhaps not in such abrupt statements."

Actually, Little Hawk is more opposed to the two party system, than myself. My key bitch is with the CORRUPTION, in the TWO parties, and how powerful, and misleading they are...and has been for some time, as I know, most of you can dig up, past posts, and see.

As more and more of this is being revealed, I'd think that ANYONE who has endorsed a candidate, (either party), THINKING that they are representing a like policy, or 'political persuasion'(left or right), and has been voting, for their own capitalistic pig-greedy personal gain, because they stood to make, big bucks, as a result of their vote, would FORCE a situation, to sway the market in their favor?????????... because of an insider trading tip, from a private banking/Wall Street broker....who is acting on behalf of a lobbyist!!!???!!!.............I'd think THAT would at least 'concern' ANY thinking person, of either party,.....at least raise an eyebrow........the 'possibly, just maybe, re-examine just why you bought into their rap...Is that unreasonable???........Maybe for a boneheaded, blind, believing devotee, to the dogma!
Personally, I wouldn't hold ANYTHING negative to someone who, at least, thought of re-examining their processing of political input!..or thought about how that may have affected their outlook on things, or other lives...............That's unreasonable????
The only thing that would do, would cause you to access the level of indoctrination through their propaganda one may have bought into.
And what??.....You 'enjoy' living in a deception????..Makes you feel 'important'?

Example:
A lot of people 'think' Hilary Clinton is a true blue liberal, progressive champion of they want things to be...right?.........remember the political hay, the Republicans made of the Whitewater and Rose Law Firm scandal....that fizzled?.............Remember how they charged and questioned(and correctly so, how she made ALL that money, in a stock deal..overnight?????.....and the REASON it fizzled....was because the Republicans, to reveal it, would be cutting off THEIR feeding trough!!!!!...and why rock the boat, eh?
...Oh, I REMEMBER (sniff sniff), "IT'S FOR THE CHILDREN!!!!"

So, IF you think I sound 'cynical' some times..(or even MORE than 'sometimes').....maybe..just maybe, its all in the PERCEPTION!!!!!!!

or to quote Mr. Dylan again:
"I wish that for just one time
You could stand inside my shoes
And just for that one moment
I could be you

Yes, I wish that for just one time
You could stand inside my shoes
You'd know what a drag it is
To see you!!"

FROM: (read it)
                  

                           Positively 4th Street

You got a lotta nerve
To say you are my friend
When I was down
You just stood there grinning

You got a lotta nerve
To say you got a helping hand to lend
You just want to be on
The side that's winning

You say I let you down
You know it's not like that
If you're so hurt
Why then don't you show it

You say you lost your faith
But that's not where it's at
You had no faith to lose
And you know it

I know the reason
That you talk behind my back
I used to be among the crowd
You're in with

Do you take me for such a fool
To think I'd make contact
With the one who tries to hide
What he don't know to begin with

You see me on the street
You always act surprised
You say, "How are you?" "Good luck"
But you don't mean it

When you know as well as me
You'd rather see me paralyzed
Why don't you just come out once
And scream it

No, I do not feel that good
When I see the heartbreaks you embrace
If I was a master thief
Perhaps I'd rob them

And now I know you're dissatisfied
With your position and your place
Don't you understand
It's not my problem

I wish that for just one time
You could stand inside my shoes
And just for that one moment
I could be you

Yes, I wish that for just one time
You could stand inside my shoes
You'd know what a drag it is
To see you
