We are situated in a place and time that can easily be considered unprecedented. Unfortunately, this place and time is also one in which we are most divided politically and idealistically.
I, personally, am all for the GOP hate that many of us here on Deadsplinter like to post/comment about. I feel it is well-deserved; but I also feel that this is a time for us to put our ideals aside and acknowledge the fact that just because we have ideals, it does not make us right. It only makes us right to ourselves…subjectively.
For as right as some of us think we are, I also think it is important to listen to/reason with those who might not share our subjective ideals. If ever there was a time in our generation to have an open mind, we need to make that time right NOW.
For those of you who know who I am &/or what I’ve done, and for those who don’t, THIS has always been
I’ve tried to convey…and I am not a fan of

De Jeugd Van Tegenwoordig – De Formule

…well, for starters
Give peace a chance. I remember a similar time of discord, Kent State, civil rights, women’s rights, anti-war, tune in, turn on, drop out; the murders of Dr. King and the Kennedys, the rise of George Wallace. I run with a liberal and artsy crowd in a very conservative area. Somehow we all manage to coexist. I can’t wait to see what follows this time of aggression- in the 70s it was disco. Let’s all stay safe and stay alive.
I’m a little under the weather. I think, hope, it’s just allergies. But I can’t get it together to search for a better song. So

The Who – Join Together
That was always one of my favorite Who songs, Dead Daisies did a great cover of it.
I’ve never heard this version before. The singer has got a real Roger Daltrey thing going on.
News got me like:
Some people out there trying to save lives like goddamn heroes and we’re begging other people to just do their part.
What can I say?
