Spirits in the Material
Just listening to the old Police song, "Spirits in the Material" this morning. The words just seem so appropriate today.
There is no political solution
To our troubled evolution
Have no faith in constitution
There is no bloody revolution
To today's problems, there is no political solution -- all the attempts by government to solve problems simply create more and larger problems. There is no faith in the US Constitution -- judges, lawyers, and politicians routinely ignore the Constitution and other laws that are passed because they're not convenient. There is no bloody revolution -- there don't seem to be enough people in America who really care about freedom and rights -- as long as they get to buy what they want to buy, when they want to buy it.
Our so-called leaders speak
With words they try to jail you
The subjugate the meek
But it’s the rhetoric of failure
So-called leaders? Couldn't have said it better myself. They certainly try to jail you -- by passing more laws making more things illegal, encouraging selective enforcement. Go ahead, try and make it through an entire day without breaking ANY laws. I can't. The rhetoric of failure? Hello, can you name ANY successes that government has had ANY part in -- in the last decade?
Where does the answer lie?
Living from day to day
If it’s something we can’t buy
There must be another way
And there is.

I think Sting would be quite amused to have his old song used as a rally cry for a conservative blog.
