Government is Ineffective
LST 03.06.96: White House officials have issued a press announcement wherein
the President admits, "Government is stupid," and added, "We can't do
anything to solve the nation's problems." When asked if this meant he was
not considering running for re-election, the President was unavailable for
comment.
Yet another car manufacturer has announced their intent to sell cars on the
Internet. A spokesperson said, "We'd like to bring you the automobile that
will break you into the fast lane of the Information Superhighway!" When
asked how his company intended to survive in the competitive Internet
auto-market, he replied, gesturing to the floor of the showroom, "Well, I've
never been to cyberspace, but when I go I'll want to be driving one of
these."
Elsewhere in the oil industries, Corporate Petroleum Tyrants tucked away yet
another patent of free energy technology. It was the 918th such patent to be
acquired by petroleum companies since free energy technology was first
invented by Nikola Tesla in 1928. When asked if he planned to do anything
with the patent, the CEO of the recently merged oil company, EX-ECO,
replied, "Not until I have to."
Hey! Ain't that the news?
don't believe the newspapers... NOBODY trusts the politicians anymore... the
idea that there is ever going to be a fix is just a carrot stuck in front of
our face by the newsmedia. Why?
TO SELL MORE NEWSPAPERS
The key to changing the world is changing your mind. Stop consuming and
start creating media. The idea that "amateurs" are somehow uncool on the web
is so uncool - it defies a cool putdown. Make your own homepages. Say
something.
APPROVED by the FUTURE SELF OF GAIA
It's beginning to happen. The splitting of the worlds.
The Free Speech Online Campaign will prove what everyone already knows:
Government is ineffective and must go away...
we can take care of ourselves.
This is a cool planet.
We really like it.

This is a rant-
it's one of the things that makes the internet a powerful means of
communication...
Because I'm free to speak my mind, you're going to get something true...
something tasty - so, if you're afraid of the contents of my mind, then now
is an excellent time to click 'back' and go back to wherever you came
from...
that said -
THE WEB IS THE ACID OF THE 90's
If you are between the ages of 8 and 34, then you probably feel like some
kind of revolution is coming... and if you're older than that, then you KNOW
it for sure. It doesn't matter what side you are on...
THE CHAOS IS COMING
The weather is flipping out because the human race has been living in denial
for a couple of generations now...
Thanks so much for thinking of us, we'll try not to hold it against you.
Besides, we don't have time to hold grudges,
we've got to heal this planet.
Here's how you can particpate:
Absolutely stop consuming the garbage that is published for you by popular
media - newspapers kill trees and start wars...
You know, all of this talk about the universe being fractal and time ending
and the eschaton arriving like the second coming or whatever might give
someone the impression that the people behind this movement actually believe
all of this... don't be fooled, we're far too intense to waste our time
believing - we go for the throat... we experience this reality.
Besides, a hyperdimensional model of reality sure beats Big Bang theory...
which, if you stop to think about it, is actually a theory that the universe
was born with a great male orgasm that ended World War II.
Do you agree with the following statement?
I'M BORED
If so, then now is the time to throw away everything you think you know
and surf the chaos!
The web is nothing less than the collective imagination of our species in
digital form. It's not a billboard - it's a vision quest. If you think it
sucks then please do us all a favor and get a homepage together and freak
out!
Here's something you can debate, but sooner or later it will be obvious...
Revolutions happen when there are more people who want change than who
don't.
There's a young generation growing up right now, born in the 80's. (Hi
Kids!) Whatever it is that's being sold to these kids, it's not what they
want. What they want is to not be sold. They want the chance to be dignified
individuals like the people of past generations. Soon they'll learn to
resent the headtrip that's been thrown on them by big bucks advertising.
And when there are more of them than there are product peddelers LOOK OUT!
Another thing...
we'll see this movement a lot sooner than you might think... know why?
Because consumer culture has been treating children like adults in the hopes
that they'll spend money like adults. When you treat a child like an adult,
the child acts like an adult - and that's why you've got 8 year olds
screaming REVOLUTION!
YO GEN-X PUNKS!!!
If you're into self-destruction,
find a clue,
nobody is listening...
Come on, it's obvious there's more 'them' than 'us'
so why are we killing ourselves?
Is it because we secretly adore yuppies and fear that we might threaten
their lifestyle if we aged past 30?
What are we some kind of wimps pining for KISS to put their makeup back on?
Whattup anyways?
Dontcha know that Kurt was the second coming of Christ?... yeah, he died for
our sins so that we don't have to!
Besides Rolling Stone is for old people, so who cares if you can score
heroin in Seattle?
If you haven't expressed yourself, you're missing the boat, mann!
These people just a little bit older than us think we're hilarious!
They'll even pay us to imitate them!
At least this gen has got a sense of humor, eh?
Bottoms up!
(back to the rant)
WE ARE WAKING UP SO LOOK OUT CORPORATE MOTHERS!
Our revolution is come alive
and coming at you -
the greatest DROP-OUT ever!
Consumer culture boycott
We'll make our own money and give it away at raves...
FEED THE WEB!
SCREAM!
The future is watching you
so don't let us down...
Mutants, grab the reigns
NOW is the time to reprogram your mind!
Take television out of the equation
and you'll see that there ARE alternatives to being
labelled a consumer...
like this...
I am not a consumer
I am a human
and I am alive
on my planet
which i love
So if you do not love and respect
this planet
then build a metal spaceship
and get the hell off...
We will evolve without you
this is NEW AGE PUNK -
so LIGHTEN UP OR FUCK OFF!
This revolution is gonna happen.
Yeah.
The revolution has begun and we've already won,
cuz
THE REVOLUTION IS WITHIN
