Hooligans

Hooliganism. You saw it at the Tyburn posts as they hanged the common thieves. You see it at soccer games, you feel it in the public houses and in the projects. A wish for wilding from those long supressed.

Now all those newly elected conservatives with their icy asses have unleashed a young mob in the waiting for years. Britain for a short while did the right thing with their wealth. Maybe the dole should have never existed or health care or care for the kids but it did. Now you want to take it away to satisfy the ricos, the markets and the ruling class, again? Yes, it does feel good to trash, burn and take. We don't care, let them kill us all. No supression will be tolerated. In Tunisia, in Egypt or Syria the mob does not want to rule but simply wants the weight off its chest. If we die we die before the eyes of the world. Supression cannot hide behind a curtain. Technology is a weapon, knowledge is power and information stimulates action.

It will take longer in America because we have built a better lie. The tea party was just the first of the bitchers, the most selfish and needy of the privileged middle class. When will the millions of unemployed wake up? When wil the kids get sick of being pissed on? When will the elderly refuse to pay for the benefits of the rich? It is a numbers game and the latino immigrant citizens, black Americans and working class whites will eventually overcome the crushing specter of wealth that passes as ' business as usual'.

As a young man I watched the black riots in '69 and felt both attracted and repulsed. I watched the K.C. Plaza flood and wanted to go on a loot and now my old crippled legs want to march to Washington and thrown the bums out and lock the door on any new gerymandered creeps.

I want to die for my country on my own block not in Afganistan, Iraq or Vietnam. Even with our revolutionary history we only remember civil war We so fear this civil discord that we bow to power but there should always be a discourse between power and function. Citizens in a so called democracy will soon become tired of being powerless and our distant rebellious natures will reemerge.

Put me down like a dog but do not tell me those same tired lies. We are keeping count and at the tally end a price will be paid. Anarchy and discord prompted by silly prigs in power. David Cameron faces the music today. America will soon have a tune to play.
