Whitee - Purveyor of Fine Beats...Provider of Lyrical Treats
Music, culture & politics. We'll also update Whitee's recording progress.Friday, March 10, 2006
Wednesday evening I went to an anti-war demonstration / commemeration of International Women's Day. I guess I'm being a bit crotchetty here, but a few things came to mind:
- Having a demonstration in the most leftie suburb in the area is kinda preaching to the choir. No one has these kind of things in the hood. They have anti-gang/police/violence/drugs demonstrations, but it's as if there are no anti-war or pro-women folks in that part of town.
- There really were some clueless people honking their horns in support as they drove by...in their huge gas-guzzling SUV's. They didn't see the irony.
- Those who were disrespectful to us looked like the only thing they've ever stood up for is to scratch something.
- Someone who claims to be an anarchist is usually just someone who hasn't developed the social skills to play well with others. Most usually cause tension in meetings, slow things down to a grinding halt and eventually "agree" with group decisions only to do their own thing later and screw everything up.
- I overheard at least 2 "lefties" tell others how they bought X & Y at Walmart & K-Mart. Yeah, I'm being judgemental & hypocritical here, but even if I had been one of them, I wouldn't have told anyone that I went there. I don't shop at those places, but I do get stuff that I'm sure was made by 3 year-olds in Indonesia, but I am trying to do better.
