Before Class, I Give You These Things for Your Pleasure

I belive there is a Boredoms album happening independently of the band's members outside my window. West Lake Street in Minneapolis, Minnesota is a pallet of esoteric noise. I hear a theremin, ride cymbals, low fidelity bass and a banjo. I know what you may be thinking, and no, I am not stoned. That was last night. But I digress.

A fellow associate at the Home Depot last explained to me why there is inflation in America today. He was right about every point except his hyperbolic stink on Socialism. Socialism as the West sees it, along with its cousin Communism, is evil - this is true. It is very hard to realize an idea as good as Socialism in the real world. On paper, as any college student with half a brain and an over-developed sense of righteousness will tell you, Socialism is a great idea. But the margin for error is too large: humanity. Again, I digress.

Through American eyes, Socialism is an institution where the government controls everything about a person's life. They tell you where to shop, where to go to school, where you can go to get yourself healed and what to think. Socialism is pretty much an monarchy. In theory this is definitely not the case. Socialism is supposed to be a Utopian principle to take care of all the people all the time. But it is against the United States constitution. The Declaration of Independence even sets itself against Socialism. In its body of grievances against the English crown, it establishes that any institution which suffers a person's life, property or freedom is one to be fought. According to popular American thought, Socialism is such an institution. Why we haven't recognized this fire under our ass in the past and thrown out Grant, Wilson, Hoover, Nixon, and W. Bush is beyond me. Comfort is the foundation of the modern American way of life, and we have sacrificed our rights for it. Amazing.

Any way, here's a link to a pretty thing: http://www.examiner.com/x-7389-Pittsburgh-Horror-Movie-Examiner~y2009m9d9-Plan-9-From-Outer-Space-remake-teaser-trailer

So if you haven't gotten the new Weezer, Dinosaur Jr, Mos Def, or Eels albums yet, do so. That is all.
