Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
over specific principles, goals, and policies.

Goddamnit!
WHY THIS?
WHY NOW?
I'm drunk and fragile.

I knew it was coming.
Seirously, this makes me want to cry.
Aaron was such a fucking patriot, and he was such a force in "the movement"
:(
god fucking damnit.
Only the good die "young".
If I opened it now would you not understand?
the Alex Jones - Aaron Russo interview is a MUST WATCH for anyone who is confused about this sad world we live in.
If you think things we say aren't true,
watch the geniune humanity with witch Aaron speaks ...
if you think that man is lying, you may as well kill yourself now.
:(

another pointless bump for Aaron.
This has really got me.

Crashed and on their way
Father he enjoyed collisions; others walked away
A snowflake falls in may.
And the doors are open now as the bells are ringing out
Cause the man of the hour is taking his final bow
Goodbye for now.
Nature has its own religion; gospel from the land
Father ruled by long division, young men they pretend
Old men comprehend.
And the sky breaks at dawn; shedding light upon this town
They'll all come ‘round
Cause the man of the hour is taking his final bow
G'bye for now.
And the road
The old man paved
The broken seems along the way
The rusted signs, left just for me
He was guiding me, love, his own way
Now the man of the hour is taking his final bow
As the curtain comes down
I feel that this is just g'bye for now.

Come to send
Not condescend
Transcendental consequence
Is to transcend, where we are
Who are we? Who we are
Trampled moss on your souls
Changes all, you're a part
Seen it all, not at all
Can't defend, fuck the man
Take me for a ride, Before we leave
Avalance
Falling Fast
Guidin' winds
Happenstance
Off the track, in the mud
That's the moss, in the aforementioned verse
Just a little time, Before we leave
Stop light plays its part
So I would say you've got a heart
What's your part? Who you are
You are who, who you are

A man before his time, unfortunately not sterile or clinical enough for the brainwashed plastic headed masses.

np.
that movie bummed me out in a major way, even while i was the whole time going "thats right", "yep", "yep", "thats how i feel" ...
... i mean getting through highschool, developing "progressive" thoughts and thinking "radical" ... "going green", and reaching for self-actualization ... it all seems so important ... until you finaly solve the problem by realizing there is no solution.
That's the message i think this video really communicates.
Try your best, do what you can, what you gotta do, and try to embrace the pain. Because i truly belive the world is in for it all. Blech.
I say blech, but i actualy get excited about it.
Bring it on, lets go. Lets do it now. I talked to one of my closest friends to highschool the otherday for the first time in about 5 years. We used to, and still do, share so many of the same values goals and outlooks. She asked me about somethings, like if i truly bought in to zeitgeist. Then we talked about oil and political corruption. Then we talked about peak oil, and ecosystem collapses, and other sundries warm and fuzzy affairs.
She asked me what i had come to conclude about it all, what my take was, and how i intended to address it - if at all.
I told her that I simply felt it was insurmountable. That I felt some of the greatest minds on the subjects of sustainability (William McDonough, Amory Lovins, etc) are so pessimistic about the possibility of corporations truly changing in time; that so many of the problems are beyond the ability of "the market" or all of the worlds governments to truly address; that population overshoot is truly unfixable; that oil-culture is inherently doomed and quickly reaching its end ... that it is just not worth trying to address.
The solution is to EMBRACE it. I told her that i was basicaly "just waiting".
Her response kind've floored me more than the rest of our discussion put together. She said, "Why is it that all my friends feel the same way?", and continued, "It's like they all just realize we can't do shit. And they want to just get it over with."
That shocked me. I think it really may be a generational thing. Most of my literate, liberal values, "freaky" 28-32 year old friends are like that, and so apparently are all of hers. That makes me feel a lot less crazy.
Speaking of crazy,
i can't believe how drunk and emotional i was, looking above me at all my Russo rantings.
I think i really was near tears or with water in my eyes that night.
What REALLY bums me is that Aaron said (i think in his Alex Jones interview) that he was planning a NEW MOVIE ... and he wouldn't reveal ANYTHING about it, saying only that it was going to be "really good", a real shocker or something ... if only we knew what that new documentary was to be, and if only he got to shoot it.
:(
If I opened it now would you not understand?
What amazed me, is like yourself, I already had it formulated and the documentary was just confirming what I had already come to the conclusion of. A bit spooky to see it all formally laid out and echoed back to me.
Around 15 I started realizing what was coming from a population perspective. Being older and factoring in economics and the environment with greater clarity is... well...let's just say it is what it is. Until I start seeing a lot people catching up and actually becoming aware, and start thinking more progressively, my optimism will remain somewhat lack luster towards those who are merrily rolling along unabated and unaffected. It doesn't bother me to any great degree, at least once every day I have a good laughing fit about one thing or another, often throughout the day. My sense of humor has not been affected yet. There has always been great feats of adaptation accomplished by mankind.
Now that's optimistic!
