B. gotta please His boys making payments on ferraris So stop please, ya f%$kers get off these I got no need for this greed that you spread like a disease Probably concieved underground at the CDC by hitlers brain in the body of Chandra Levy This is a call to action For all the people sttanding around waiting for some one to save them. Seeking satisfaction Having the brain to complain but lacking the sack to fight this corruption. We need a new direction Oh the thing that is strange is why can't we change campaign financing. It's become an auction Are you gonna stand by and watch as we auction off the country to corporations. Oh-is more violence the solution Whish you could see what I see Oh-it's more violence than colution Is it too late to pray for peace A burning bush is a symbol of god, right? So pass me a light we'll start religion tonight, I might be detained on my way through LA 'cause airport security called in the DEA But my thought's free not even these nazis can stop me The cops thing I'm gonna take a shot at democracy Hypocracy abounds, how long before George has a crown I won't be down, 'til they find a way to put me in the ground Until then, I'll still be making passes at these facsists The ashes in Manhattan should get the masses off their asses We gotta fix this from within, what if this s@#t happens again I got a baby boy what kind of world we leaving for him When public opinion ain't so good no more You get a texan come a-knock on your dorr Sayin' boy we gonna ship your ass off to the war feel like we been here before.

I took myself a blue canoe
And I floated like a leaf Dazzling, dancing Half enchanted In my Merlin sleep Crazy was the feeling Restless were my eyes Insane they took the paddles My arms they paralyzed So where to now St. Peter If it's true I'm in your hands I may not be a Christian But I've done all one man can I understand I'm on the road Where all that was is gone So where to now St. Peter Show me which road I'm on Which road I'm on It took a sweet young foreign gun This lazy life is short Something for nothing always ending With a bad report Dirty was the daybreak Sudden was the change In such a silent place as this Beyond the rifle range I took myself a blue canoe |

No problem regarding a war for oil, but it is a bit more than that. If the bad guys get hold of all the oil producing countries in the Middle East, we are truly screwed and there are some nightmare scenarios that would occur with a western world without cheap oil, or oil in general.
It is essential to the survival of the west that we can assure continued crude oil flow in the free market until we come up with VIABLE alternative energy sources. |

Cheap oil is soon to be over my friend. The easy **** is all gone. Big new economies are on the rise. What we should be doing is taking the 200 billion bucks we just pissed down an Iraq rathole and spend it on a new energy source. Its the old story of the grasshopper and the ant. We been grasshoppers for a long time, and winter is finally coming. |

Peter No, I try to mind my business, that is, no business at all Terry When it's time to function as a feeling human being, will your Bachelor of Arts help you get by? Peter I hope to study further, a few more years or so. I also hope to keep a steady high Terry Will you try to change things, use the power that you have, the power of a million new ideas? Peter What is this power you speak of and this need for things to change? I always thought that everything was fine Terry Don't you feel repression just closing in around? Peter No, the campus here is very, very free Terry Does it make you angry the way war is dragging on? Peter Well, I hope the President knows what he's into, I don't know ooh, I just don't know Terry Don't you ever see the starvation in the city where you live, all the needless hunger all the needless pain? Peter I haven't been there lately, the country is so fine, my neighbors don't seem hungry 'cause they haven't got the time haven't got the time Terry Thank you for the talk you know you really eased my mind I was troubled by the shapes of things to come. Peter Well, if you had my outlook your feelings would be numb, you'd always think that everything was fine everything is fine |

Seantor Petard
By REBECCA KNIGHT 798 words
7 July 2006 Financial Times Asia Ed1 Page 5 ServiceLine (c) 2006 The Financial Times Ltd. The legendary fair winds off Nantucket Sound are blowing up a commotion these days for some of America's most prominent politicians. The political battle over a proposal to build a 24 square mile (62 sq km) wind power installation along the coastline of Cape Cod, the beloved seaside resort of Massachusetts' liberal elites, has drawn opposition from some of the best-known political leaders in the state, including Senator Ted Kennedy. Some observers say the fight smacks of a not-in-my-backyard mentality. "It doesn't appear that there's any compelling reason for opposing this other than aesthetics," says Bruce Wallin, a political science professor at Northeastern University in Boston who studies Massachusetts politics. "On an emotional level, this is an important part of the world for Kennedy and his brothers, but it does seem rather narrowminded." The Dollars 1bn (Euros 784m, Pounds 544m) project, proposed by Cape Wind Associates, calls for 130 windmills whose turbines and blades would rise nearly 420 feet above the water and would significantly change the iconic view of Nantucket Sound. The cluster of windmills would be about eight miles from Mr Kennedy's home in Hyannis Port But Mr Kennedy is not the only politician in the state who objects to the plan. Mitt Romney, the Republican governor considering a run for his party's presidential nomination in 2008, is against the wind farm. So too are most candidates running to succeed Mr Romney, including Tom Reilly, Massachusetts' Democratic attorney general. The dispute over the project, which is now working its way through the regulatory pipeline, has been going on locally for more than five years, but received national attention recently after Mr Kennedy tried to advance federal legislation that would have given the governor "of the adjacent state" - Massachusetts - power to veto it. The site of the proposed wind farm, an area known as Horseshoe Shoal between Cape Cod and Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket, is unusual because it is federal land surrounded by state waters. Mr Kennedy, who says he is a supporter of wind energy, maintains he is not opposed to the plant because it would be near his Cape Cod home. Rather, he believes the project poses dangers to the area's ecosystem, maritime navigation and the Cape's tourism-based economy. He has since withdrawn his support for a governor's veto in place of giving the Coast Guard the final say over whether the wind farm is constructed. That authority was approved by Congress last week Cape Wind says that the gusty Massachusetts coastline is the perfect spot for the first offshore wind energy project in the US. It says the wind farm would bring high-paying jobs to the area, reduce harmful air pollutants including greenhouse gases and generate three-quarters of the electricity now used on the Cape and the islands The company portrays its detractors as well-heeled, well-connected elitists who may support renewable energy in theory but take a not-in-my-backyard stance when it comes to the scenic view from their oceanfront homes. "At its core, the basis for a lot of the opposition is aesthetic," says Mark Rodgers of Cape Wind. "There's a tendency for opponents to use other issues as proxy issues because they're self-conscious about not wanting to be seen as 'nimby'. Charles Vinick, the president and chief executive of the Alliance to Protect Nantucket Sound, which was formed to oppose the plan, insists that opposition to the project is not purely aesthetic. "Of course that's part of it, for the land owners and the home owners, and for the people who use the beach. It's a very important issue but it's not the only issue." He says many organisations, including local chambers of commerce, commercial fishing groups and boating associations, have voiced opposition because the proposed project poses threats to public safety and tourism. "Nantucket Island is a designated historic district and when we begin to industrialise it, we change its character." While polls say the majority of people in Massachusetts support the project, opponents, who include residents and business leaders with ties to the Cape and islands, have raised millions of dollars for their cause. They represent a "well-funded operation", according to Sue Reid, a lawyer at the Conservation Law Foundation, an environmental group that supports the project. "They have been able to buy influence way beyond what any other grassroots organisation could possibly do. We are up against aparticularly wealthy constituency that has the ability to wage a scorched-earth battle." |

In days gone by, when the world was much younger
Men harnessed the wind to work for mankind Seamen built tall ships to sail ore the ocean While landsmen built windmills the corn for to grind And around and around and around went the big sail Turning the shaft and the great wooden wheel Creaking and groaning, the millstones kept turning Grinding to flour the good corn from the field In Flanders and Spain and the lowlands of Holland And the kingdoms of England and Scotland and Wales Windmills sprang up all along the wild coastline Ships of the land with their high canvas sails And around and around and around went the big sail Turning the shaft and the great wooden wheel Creaking and groaning, the millstones kept turning Grinding to flour the good corn from the field In Lancashire, lads work hard at the good earth Ploughing and sowing as the seasons declare Waiting to reap all the rich, golden harvest While the miller is idle, his mill to repair And around and around and around went the big sail Turning the shaft and the great wooden wheel Creaking and groaning, the millstones kept turning Grinding to flour the good corn from the field Windmills of wood all blackened by weather Windmills of stone, glaring white in the sun Windmills like giants all ready for tilting Windmills that died in the gales and are gone

In Xanadu did Kubla Khan
A stately pleasure-dome decree : Where Alph, the sacred river, ran Through caverns measureless to man Down to a sunless sea. So twice five miles of fertile ground With walls and towers were girdled round : And there were gardens bright with sinuous rills, Where blossomed many an incense-bearing tree ; And here were forests ancient as the hills, Enfolding sunny spots of greenery. But oh ! that deep romantic chasm which slanted Down the green hill athwart a cedarn cover ! A savage place ! as holy and enchanted As e'er beneath a waning moon was haunted By woman wailing for her demon-lover ! And from this chasm, with ceaseless turmoil seething, As if this earth in fast thick pants were breathing, A mighty fountain momently was forced : Amid whose swift half-intermitted burst Huge fragments vaulted like rebounding hail, Or chaffy grain beneath the thresher's flail : And 'mid these dancing rocks at once and ever It flung up momently the sacred river. Five miles meandering with a mazy motion Through wood and dale the sacred river ran, Then reached the caverns measureless to man, And sank in tumult to a lifeless ocean : And 'mid this tumult Kubla heard from far Ancestral voices prophesying war ! The shadow of the dome of pleasure Floated midway on the waves ; Where was heard the mingled measure From the fountain and the caves. It was a miracle of rare device, A sunny pleasure-dome with caves of ice ! A damsel with a dulcimer In a vision once I saw : It was an Abyssinian maid, And on her dulcimer she played, Singing of Mount Abora. Could I revive within me Her symphony and song, To such a deep delight 'twould win me, That with music loud and long, I would build that dome in air, That sunny dome ! those caves of ice ! And all who heard should see them there, And all should cry, Beware ! Beware ! His flashing eyes, his floating hair ! Weave a circle round him thrice, And close your eyes with holy dread, For he on honey-dew hath fed, And drunk the milk of Paradise.
