Now is the time for us to make revolution.
What a boring old-fashioned message.
Nothing will ever change.
Nationalism has failed us.
The Government will not save us.
The United States has collapsed.
The End Of The World has already happened.
Those of us who did not notice were presumably watching TV or wandering the shopping malls and the stupormarkets.
Every revolution that has preceded us has been entirely successful at bringing us to this moment.
The revolution only seems to fail because every time we attempt to project our ideologies onto reality we are faced with the contradictory nature of reality.
When we look at the world, all we see is the world. One day, we hope, we will see the world we see in our head.
This day will never come.
Thank God/dess that every ideological revolution has failed.
Even the revolutions that have failed have caused great violence in our precious world.
The United States of America is supposed to be the revolution of modern industrial democracy. It is a mistake that we, as a species, must repent and resolve.
There are no real barriers to the beginnings of sanity on this planet, only our own feelings of inadequacy.
"I don't deserve love because I am a naughty boy with perverse thoughts."
Therefore I will run for President of the World.
I have the perfect idea in my head of how the world should be and I intend to impose this perfect idea on the problematic reality of a chaotic world through the organisation and force of some institution, centuries old, brand new, revolutionary, conservative, secure, morally perfect.
We have created The Law, which we acknowledge does not exist but we promise we will enforce it as if it does exist.
We are prepared to use the violence that you are unwilling to carry out in the sanity of your loving homes.
We will require some of you to step out of your apathetic pajamas and into uniforms appropriate for the task of suppression of dissent.
We hate with the utmost love. Please, love us with the hate of your ability to make a living at the expense of others.
When I die, I will be remembered as a hard worker, working hard to make other species extinct.
We've had a lot of revolutions, a lot of extinctions, a handful of apocalypses, wars to end all wars, and the trajectory of human development is a progressive genocide of all races on the planet in favour of Indo-European people.
Nothing will stop us from doing what we're not quite sure what it is yet.
The most advanced species on this planet is telling you to not panic and to remain within the realm of the culture you grew up in.
You are either a member of the correct, dominant culture, or your culture will be violently removed in as humane a manner as possible at the correct moment, with or without the desperation of your retaliation.
China does not exist.
The American Flag is the greatest religious symbol of our age, followed by the Coca-Cola Ribbon and the McDonald's M.
The world is not divided between Christianity and Islam or between Democracy and Communism. The world is divided between Coca-Cola and Pepsi.
This was clear to me when I rode the bus through the highways of Guatemala and Mexico. Every tiny poor village has a tienda and every tienda sells junkfood to the poor locals who really don't need money and every tienda is decorated with either a Coca-Cola or Pepsi logo.
One day all the world will be free and everyone will have the money to pay for carbonated soft drink.
Nothing you do will make any difference.
I disagree, I can make change.
When I quite smoking I intend to start dancing.
I intend to set up a huge organisation to stop corruption in Government and Industry.
I stopped paying rent when I was 24 years old. I stopped paying for food when I was 26 years old. Now, I feel utter repulsion at the thought of paying money to live.
I can hear your logical justification for paying money to live and I hear the gas released from your anus. In both cases I heard you and I empathise with your difficulty in releasing the ideas and foods you have consumed. I wish you all the best in your internal cleanse.
I contradict the ideologies of the culture I was raised to serve as I reject the poisons that were advertised at me.
I reject McDonald's and Coca-Cola and all the less-successful advertising campaigns disguised as food.
I reject heterosexual monogamy and every new sexual permutation devised to define the perversity and love emanating from my soul.
I reject the fools in uniforms who tell me that this food isn't mine, that I must pay before I can bring it home and share it.
I am only an animal of Planet Earth, I cannot be anything that I am not.
I cannot be a Capitalist, regardless of how much I am educated in its normality.
I will always be an animal.
I will die an animal as I was born an animal, from my mother's womb.
I am the result of the loving coitus of my parents and I have grown up in this world largely because of the sustained love of the people around me.
It is not food or money that has kept me alive, but love. If there was no other way to die from lack of love, I would have killed myself by now.
I have never gone hungry nor lacked warmth and shelter. I have never lacked the love of my family, my friends and my tribe.
It is this network of love that makes life worth living and it is the strength of this love that makes things happen.
Everything I do is the result of the strength of love in my heart, in my body and in my life; because I have been loved and because I do love.
The ideologies and religions that impede us exist only in our fluffy minds. They define our behaviour as long as we allow them to define our behaviour.
The institutions and laws that impede us exist only in our fluffy minds. When we cease to dedicate our lives to their perpetuation they cease to exist and the people and resources that constitute these institutions can instantly be used to promote the cause of life on this planet.
I am not scared of pain or death. I am not afraid that I will go to Hell or go to Prison. My God/dess will not dessert me and s/he does not need to exist to be constantly in my heart.
Everyone who loves me will stand beside my grave as my naked body is lowered into the naked grave within which I will nourish the soil that has always nourished me.
Nothing will stop me from fully experiencing the life into which I was born.
There is no substitute for love, passion, beauty, pain and great death.

Advice For Geraldine On Her Miscellaneous Birthday: Poem by Bob Dylan
Stay in line. Stay in step. People
are afraid of someone who is not
in step with them. It makes them
look foolish t' themselves for
being in step. It might even
cross their minds that they themselves
are in the wrong step.
Do not run
nor cross the red line. If you go
too far out in any direction, they
will lose sight of you. They'll feel
threatened. Thinking that they are
not part of something they
saw go past them, they'll feel
something's going on that
they don't know about. Revenge
will set in. They will start thinking
of how t' get rid of you. Act
mannerly toward them. If you don't,
they will take it personal. As you
come directly in contact face t' face
do not make it a secret of how
much you need them. If they sense
that you have no need for them,
the first thing they will do is
try t' make you need them. If
this doesn't work, they will tell
you of how much they don't need
you. If you do not show any sadness
at a remark such as this, they
will immediately tell other people
of how much they don't need you.
Your name will begin t' come up
in circles where people gather
to tell about all the people they
don't need. You will begin t' get
famous this way. This, though, will
only get the people who you don't need
in the first place
all the more madder.
You will become
a whole topic of conversation.
Needless t' say, these people
who don't need you will start
hating themselves for needing t' talk
about you. Then you yourself will
start hating yourself for causing so
much hate. As you can see, it will
all end in one great gunburst.
Never trust a cop in a raincoat.
When asked t' define yourself exactly,
say you are an exact mathematician.
Do not say or do anything that
he who is standing in front of you
watching cannot understand, he will
feel you know something he
doesn't. He will react with blinding
speed and write your name down.
Talk on his terms. If his terms
are old-fashioned an' you've
passed that stage all the more easier
t' get back there. Say what he
can understand clearly. Say it simple
t' keep your tongue out of your
cheek. After he hears you, he can
label you good or bad. Anyone will
do. T' some people, there is only
good an' bad. In any case, it will
make him feel somewhat important.
It is better t' stay away from
these people. Be careful of
enthusiasm, it is all temporary
an' don't let it sway you. When asked
if you go t' church, always answer
yes, never look at your shoes. When
asked what you think of Gene Autrey
singing of hard rain's gonna fall say
that nobody can sing it as good as
Peter, Paul and Mary. At the mention
of the president's name, eat a pint of
yogurt an' go t' sleep early. When
asked if you're a communist, sing
America the beautiful in an
Italian accent. Beat up nearest
street cleaner. If by any
chance you're caught naked in a
parked car, quick turn the radio on
full blast an' pretend
that you're driving. Never leave
the house without a jar of peanut
butter. Do not wear
matched socks. When asked to do 100
pushups always smoke a pound
of deodorant beforehand.
When asked if you're a capitalist, rip
open your shirt, sing buddy can
you spare a dime with your
right foot forward an' proceed t'
chew up a dollar bill.
Do not sign any dotted line. Do not
fall in trap of criticizing people
who do nothing else but criticize.
Do NOT create anything. It will be
misinterpreted. It will not change.
It will follow you the
rest of your life. When asked what you
do for a living say you laugh for
a living. Be suspicious of people
who say that if you are not nice
t' them, they will commit suicide.
When asked if you care about
the world's problems, look deeply
into the eyes of he that asks
you, he will not ask you again. When
asked if you've spent time in jail,
announce proudly that some of your
best friends've asked you that.
Beware of bathroom walls that've not
been written on. When told t' look at
yourself...never look. When asked
t' give your real name...never give it.
