PP actually has the best page and information about it thus far.

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.

    never heard of him
    Makes much more sense, to live in the present tense.

    A truly liberal person is conservative when necessary.

    Pro-life by choice.

    NOooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooo!

    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".

    btw,
    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.

    :(

    don't need a helmet, got a hard, hard head
    don't need a raincoat, i'm already wet
    don't need a bandage, there's too much...blood...
    after a while, seems to roll right off...hmm...
    whipping, ah...they're whipping, ah...
    ...they're whipping, ah...they're whipping...
    don't need a hand, there's always arms attached
    oh, don't get behind, i can't fall back
    why must we trust all these rusted rails?
    they don't want no change we already have
    they're whipping, ah...they're whipping, ah...
    ...they're whipping, ah...they're whipping...
    don't mean to push, but i'm being shoved!
    ohh, i'm just like you, think we've had enough
    i can't believe a thing they want us to...oh...
    oh, we all got scars, they should have 'em too...
    oh, they're whipping, ah...they're whipping, ah...
    ...they're whipping, ah...they're whipping...
    they're whipping, ah...they're whipping, ah...
    ...they're whipping...yeah...they're whipping...

    Tidal waves don't beg forgiveness
    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.
    If I was to smile and I held out my hand
    If I opened it now would you not understand?

    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
    If I was to smile and I held out my hand
    If I opened it now would you not understand?
