Orpheus Goes Electric; Songs by Richard Streeter

Walking around downtown Livermore just as the night life is getting going, reminding myself how weird this town really is.

Just heard a little drum machine driven two man tex mex affair performing in front of a restaurant. "I Will Survive", in a voice like Tom Waits. Best version ever.

I rant therefore I Am.

Unfettered Capitalism is morally unacceptable. Pass it on.

If there were an international prize for being the least self aware person in history & possessing the most selfishly toxic sense of entitlement on the planet, that would be the only "prize" he deserves.

Imagine such a person thinking they deserve anything at all except a firing squad.

No, Richard. Do not post anything. Turn back, repent. No posting tonight. SlapSlapSlap.

Seems like it oughtta be a no brainer.

I just don't know how to feel.

When liberal *IS* liberal, I see no problem. The term "neo-liberal" dishonestly tries to make conservative capitalism sound palatable. Communism isn't a government, it's a social condition. I'm inclined to follow you, but hesitate pending further clarification. If that's not worth your time, OK.

The things the right wants to take away are the *very PRE-conditions* for the *very existence of* Democracy. They're the things a Democracy *cannot even begin to exist* without. Why don't they just admit they hate Democracy?

Pig.

If it doesn't have to be the speaker then hurry up for Christ's sake!!! This garbage has to stop. Mike Johnson is a POS.

Johnson (paraphrased): "The shutdown has nothing to do with deliberately delaying Grijalva's confirmation."

That is an obvious, childish, transparently idiotic lie. And he thinks we're stupid enough to buy it. Just like he thinks we belive he *didn't watch* the military summit last week.

If we ever return to a path towards true democracy, we have MANY holes to plug up in the constitution. Why did the founding fathers assume so much "good faith?" Because they were blinded by their own slave-owning hypocrisy? EXMPLE; Most of what Mike Johnson does should obviously not be PERMISSIBLE.

Why is Johnson PERMITTED to not do his job? WTF IS THAT?!?

Me: Because they didn't. STFU.

If you ask a conservative whether the USA is still a democracy they'll say of course it is, which is objectively incorrect in the absence of free speech & due process. They will answer thus because one or both of the following;

1 They do not know what democracy is
2 Deep down they crave tyranny.

NOT A MATTER OF OPINION. IF YOU DISAGREE YOU ARE *INCORRECT*.

Just noticing that now?

Even worse; stolen carpet.

Love that pic.

Due process for *ALL* comes *before*, NOT *after* YOUR right to Democracy. You don't have the right to even vote without it. No due process = no rights = no democracy. FOR YOU. Remove due process FOR ANYONE, you remove YOUR OWN RIGHTS.

BULLET, MEET FOOT.
