Power to the People! Yeah, give it to em, al.

 

However, you might have it back asswards, as Anna might say: Society

is full of shit b/c you and I are full of shit, and not the other way

around. Perhaps.

 

Who knows? I'm still thinking about the electric chair brochure and

radio ad.

 

In any event, " wear the chair. to show you care. "

 

God Bless.

 

In Jesus' Mighty Name,

I and society are the same thing. Power in a social sense is about the

future. Power in a real sense is about the present moment. You don't

know what power is.
