The Writings of Punk Johnny Cash in Opposition To the Federal Imposition

I found this, and loved some of it.

My views are not reflected in this but some of it I completely agree with, and it is a better political message than what is out there.

I found it Here

Oh happy day.  The future has come and I feel a bright and shinny tomorrow.  The Federal Government is here to serve us.  What a relief.  For a minute there I was scared they would make me have to be responsible for myself, provide for myself and fend for myself.  Thanks to the new found Hope our Federal Government is thriving, not only thriving, but growing.  I see my income is decreasing, and I am unable to spend as much, I must make budget cuts, but thankfully through all this.  With the 21st Century here I decided to give you five helpful tips  on how to continue with American Life in this young century.

As long as it is profitable CNN & Fox will continue the fear mongering. The masses tune in to see the next thing to fear.  Congress is buying into all the new doomsday scenarios.  We love to be scared, so we turn it on.  Advertisers still pay top dollar to get that 30 seconds into your line of view.  Now if you turned your attention to C-Span or began to use the internet with places like www.house.gov.  You may be able to pull the information out and figure out for yourself what you think and come to a serious conclusion.  But as long as you allow corporate sponsored hype dictate your world view you will still continue to buy into this nation of fear.

I was on a hiatus from the Marine Corps.  Most civilians would call it AWOL (absent without leave), in the Marines it is a U.A. (unauthorized absence).  I was frustrated and irritated with the powers that be and the imposition on my person so I decided that instead of showing up for formation the next morning I would go off to LA, Hollywood.  I was stationed in twenty nine palms California.  This sounds luxurious but it is nothing more than the butt crack of the Mojave Desert.  I gathered a few items, shoved my cash into my jungle boots threw on an old Never Mind the Bollocks T-Shirt a pair of jeans and my jacket to head out.

A man walked into a diner wearing a red jacket adorned with the logo and emblem of a certain sports team, the team of an out of town school. The conversation between the waitress and patrons began to evolve into a competition between what school team they supported, and how the school they attended was superior. This odd competition seems to be common place in society.  Human history is speckled with this mindset. This concept is seen in the micro with local towns and school competition to the macro as seen with Adolf Hitler and the rise of the Third Reich and the desire to put one race above all others. Somewhere within culture man has developed a concept of “Us vs. Them”. Karl Marx saw the problem arise in the bourgeoisie, a group of capitalists seen as evil and exploitative (Marx, 02). This is also seen in the nomadic tribes throughout ancient Mesopotamia, and support for their gods, or at a level of a local inner city gang who defends their colors and traditions.

I love this nation of fear. Caution is everywhere. Smoking kills. Butter gives one a heart attack. Sex, Aids, killer tomatoes and peanut butter all saturate the evening news. Mad Cow disease, Anthrax, and killer bees are nothing compared to the great deadly threat of post 911 terrorism. No place is this seen as well as our nations airports. It is often difficult for me to keep my composure in situations like these. I tend to be manic, animated.
