This might seem like I’m waxing sentimental. It could also be viewed with a certain amount of derision from readers of a particular age category (namely those twice my years). However, here’s what I think about the habit of writing about music artists from the “underground” as it were: it’s a slew of bullshit. Whatever impetus it is that drives journalists to write about something like a punk artist in flowery terms, I have to say it’s not overly flattering. There’s the statement, now we’ll get to the substance of what I mean.

Capital is only the fruit of labor, and could never have existed if labor had not first existed. Labor is the superior of capital, and deserves much the higher consideration. – Abraham Lincoln
A friend asked me about this post, the flow of invisible money, then asked me, which plan was better, was it, less corporate taxes, to help the people and the economy (the republican plan) or was it tax breaks for the poor, then for good measure he tossed in the mortgage crisis. (democratic plan)
And the problem is …It’s complex. We are dealing with what most economist like to pretend doesn’t exist: people don’t have perfect knowledge, and they act irrationally, even with damn good evidence.

The philosophy of the school room in one generation will be the philosophy of government in the next.– Abraham Lincoln
Soon enough you’ll hear a story that you want to be false. This involves usually horrific things (like fathers keeping their children in basements and getting them significant children. ) I bring you another. Incase you can’t ready the link, the article is about a group of Highschool Kids in Gloucester, Massachusetts who allegedly made a pact to get pregnant, and raise their children together. 17 are confirmed pregnant). Now, i don’t know if the pact is true which is why i’m not really commenting on it, but more on the state of the human condition which makes such acts possible. More on page 108
