The mainstream comes to you, but you have to go to the underground.- Frank Zappa- - - If patriotism is the last refuge of scoundrels, political rhetoric is a cubbyhole for dullards.- Jim Goad, "The Underground Is A Lie" (could very easily be directed at the young Green Day-loving, designer-clothes-wearing, cellphone-toting anarcho-communists infecting most universities today )

They Live is definitely worth another look if you haven't seen it in a while. The depiction of slack jawed humans engrossed in their favorite pastime - television viewing - has never rung more true. When so many in our culture run home every night to watch the newest reality show it raises disturbing questions. Why in the hell do people want to sit in their own home watching other people live? What does are society get out of watching some rich [man] getting [sucked up to] by a group of people that he "fires" every week? Or some rich tart that goes around making a mockery out of herself and blue collar working families? These mindless shows keep people from reading, conversing and going out into the real world. When the television is turned off people are forced to communicate and ideas are exchanged - a dangerous thing for a society as obviously corrupt as ours. Charles Manson said it best when he was asked if he was starting a revolution - he proclaimed the revolution can only begin when people turn off their television sets. Amen! - Debased.com review of Cult Movies, "They Live"

- change must start with the individual.
Don't look for a leader. Don't look for a better political party. Just look to yourself - and make a conscious effort to live free, and leave others alone. ( Be responsible for your action.)

Tyranny could be stopped right now - by one simple act - if everyone simply said "no".

That society is a concrete organism the Anarchists do not deny; on the contrary, they insist upon it. Consequently they have no intention or desire to abolish it. They know that its life is inseparable from the lives of individuals; that it is impossible to destroy one without destroying the other. But, though society cannot be destroyed, it can be greatly hampered and impeded in its operations, much to the disadvantage of the individuals composing it, and it meets its chief impediment in the State. The State, unlike society, is a discrete organism. If it should be destroyed to-morrow, individuals would still continue to exist. Production, exchange, and association would go on as before, but much more freely, and all those social functions upon which the individual is dependent would operate in his behalf more usefully than ever. The individual is not related to the State as the tiger's paw is related to the tiger. Kill the tiger, and the tiger's paw no longer performs its office; kill the State, and the individual still lives and satisfies his wants. - Benjamin Tucker, "Liberty and Taxation" (Liberty magazine, 1881-1908)
