Eco Greenies

So awesome!! Watch at what goes on when people try to make laws!! Incredible. Who knows what else lies out there, what kinds of brutal ignorance become justifications for laws that control our lives. At least the speaker challenged him and tried to make him look like a jackass.



It's funny, right? Like it's funny that Representative Frank Nicely is so poorly spoken and knows very little about his topics of choice. On the other hand, he proposes and votes on laws that legislate people's lives. He gets paid to do this. People chose this man. They have chosen him (House member of the 96th, 97th, 104th and 105th General Assemblies) and there is no particular reason why they will not again. Enough people identify with this man, what he does, what he says and what he votes for that they have repeatedly propelled him to a position of substantial power. A cursory search of his name will reveal that he stands for all the kinds of things you would expect from a man of such intellectual stature.

And all this bullshit he talks, do people really know it's bullshit? Perhaps more importantly, would people really care that it's bullshit were they to find out? Finding out is the hard part. Cause Frank Nicely, his colleagues at all levels and all the corporations for which he works, those are the people who define the terms of our society. They construct our realities. We let them. Every day, we choose to live within the boundaries they have set. Some may step out from time to time, but not too far. They will be pulled back in or expelled. These people who have installed themselves above us, they make the rules, they teach us what is what. Lots of individuals and groups can make statements and push for all sorts of things, but in the end, the limits of what can be achieved are dictated by those who control the laws, as long as they are allowed to do so.

As long as they are permitted to control us, people who think like I do and then proceed to act upon those thoughts and beliefs in ways that have been smeared as undesirable, illegal and immoral (all of which mean "effective") will forever be terrorists. No governing body in an industrial society will ever support freedom for the land on which it exists, nor for any of the life that inhabits that land.

Free the fucking land by any means necessary.

i'm fairly certain that the FBI has labeled the KKK as the largest threat of domestic terrorism...
