Comment:

A bitter mix. I apologize for my perceived partisanship, but I'm a labeled member of the NorthEastern liberal academic elite. No longer a man seeking justice, or peace, or support for and from my brothers and sisters globally, but an obstacle, an impediment, an enemy of the mandate rather than an American.

Sleep now in the Fire.

Good stuff! A reminder of reasons not to give up (& a worthy addition to the "exhibit" of anti-Bush mixes that

no borders has put together:

Political Mixes1: Anti-Bush-Anti-war.)

I do not agree or disagree with what these songs say. I am giving it a bad review because i do disagree with the fact that as of yet no one has done anything. We as people can sit for a million years and talk about how weve been wronged and say how to change it, and threaten to change it. However so far all the anti-bush or Americanself-haters, all theyve do is talk, they talk of rising up, these songs talk of rising to change, they talk riots, they talk of a war.....were is the war, were is the war that you have promised. It is a countries duty to rise up in revolution when it feels wronged. Silent protests and peace walks will change nothing, that does not scare the man.....but a molotov will.

Just like people talk of doing something.. there are people that talk about how the first group dont do anything. Its not exactly an advanced rhetorical device.
I encourage the expression as a means to work out feelings, or foster and nurture feelings.. either as a safety valve or a seed bed for something bigger. If the massacre at Kent State didnt send us into a massive revolt.. you are going to have to come up with something real nasty to get people out of the cubicle, off the couch and out of the car.. I think the mix is damn fine.
