My father said to me
When I was two years old
That I could walk on my own
And as the years went by
He said don’t ever stop
Until you find your way home

He said life is a journey
Every step is a choice you make
Sometimes you slip when you land
And all we leave behind
When everything’s set and done
Fades like a wave on the sand

Live all you can, and understand
If the world didn’t suck, we would all fall off
Whatever comes up, must always come down again
If the world didn’t suck, we would all fall off

And when I fell in love
He walked me down the isle
And I could see in his eyes
The love he’d given me
Is what had set me free
To let me follow my heart

Life is a journey
Every step is a choice you make
Sometimes you stumble and fall
Get up, be strong
And set your feet on the road again
Soon you’ll be standing tall

Live all you can, and understand
If the world didn’t suck, we would all fall off
Whatever comes up, must always come down again
If the world didn’t suck, we would all fall off

History repeats itself, repeats itself, repeats itself
History repeats itself, repeats itself, repeats itself
History repeats itself, repeats itself, repeats itself
History repeats itself, repeats itself, repeats itself

Do you get the way we’re connected
That we’re all a link in the chain
How the love we give to each other
Echoes through our children again

Gotta keep your feet on the ground but
Through your mind and learn to accept that
That we, that we, that we, that we, that we

We live all we can, trying to understand
If the world didn’t suck, we would all fall off
We give what we got ’cause we only get one shot
If the world didn’t suck, we would all fall off

Whatever comes up, must always come down again
(History repeats itself, repeats itself, repeats itself)
If the world didn’t suck, we would all fall off

Voting doesn’t work 1-2-3
It’s time you know your enemy
I won’t pledge allegiance to hypocrisy
Your democracy, is not for me
So, when we try to change this place
Courtroom pulls an about face
Fantasies of the master race
Our elections they erase
See once upon a time we were all free
When we lived in tribal societies
Peace and harmony
And everything for the good of family
Yeah, cancer people can smoke weed
People voted to be free
But the fascist rule decree
Pigs arresting you and me
Voting doesn’t work
Why?
When they don’t like what we say then they stop it in the courts.
President this, president that
Represent the ruling class
One says this, one says that
Sounds the same what choice is that
See voting doesn’t work 1-2-3
Coming from the NATION OF THE CHEROKEE
How can you choose when you don’t have a choice?
How can you choose when you don’t have a voice?
Yeah, interest games, their interest rates
Secret power fueled by hate
Fear for cash, cash for fear
Greenspan is the ruler here
Yeah, a pig is a pig
And they took it away
And I don’t give a fuck about the things they say
It don’t mean shit to me
Voting doesn’t work, it’s easy to see, that
Voting doesn’t work
Why?
When they don’t like what we say then they stop it in the courts
Voting doesn’t work, I have seen
Along with piles of broken treaties
Your reality produces poverty, spiritually
In a nation of greed.
Well who is working, who is not
Think votes count, well I think not
Doesn’t matter what we say
Things will always go their way
Power to the people is just a fantasy
And they sell it to us as an American dream
Well, your vote counts 1-2-3
Living in democracy
Everybody here is free
Cuz it’s built for you and it’s built for me.
Voting doesn’t work
Why?
When they don’t like what we say then they stop it in the courts

The leader of a breakaway Amish group allowed the beatings of those who disobeyed him, made some members sleep in a chicken coop and had sexual relations with married women to “cleanse them,” federal authorities said Wednesday as they charged him and six others with hate crimes in hair-cutting attacks against other Amish.

Several members of the group carried out the attacks in September, October and November by forcibly cutting the beards and hair of Amish men and women and then taking photos of them.

Cutting the hair is a highly offensive act to the Amish, who believe the Bible instructs women to let their hair grow long and men to grow beards and stop shaving once they marry. One victim told the FBI he would rather have been “beaten black and blue than to suffer the disfigurement and humiliation of having his hair removed.”

Happy Thanksgiving?????????

Over the past 20 years China has become the world’s biggest exporter of consumer goods. But behind this apparent success story is a dark secret – millions of men and women locked up in prisons and forced into intensive manual labor.

China has the biggest penal colony in the world – a top secret network of more than 1,000 slave labour prisons and camps known collectively as “The Laogai”. And the use of the inmates of these prisons – in what some experts call “state sponsored slavery” – has been credited with contributing to the country’s economic boom.

Thoughts???

Do guns help improve the safety of society?

Does an individual have a “right” to gun ownership? Who would you say can not own a gun?
