I never thought about the universe, it made me feel small

Never thought about the problems of this planet at all

Global warming, radio-active sites

Imperialistic wrongs and animal rights! No!

Why think of all the bad things when life is so good?

Why help with an 'am' when there's always a 'could'?

Let the whales worry about the poisons in the sea

Outside of California, it's foreign policy

I don't want changes, I have no reactions

Your dilemmas are my distractions

I never looked around, never second-guessed

Then I read some Howard Zinn now I'm always depressed

And now I can't sleep from years of apathy

All because I read a little Noam Chomsky

I'm eating vegetation, 'cause of Fast Food Nation

I'm wearing uncomfortable shoes 'cause of globalization

I'm watching Michael Moore expose the awful truth

I'm listening to Public Enemy and Reagan Youth

I see no world peace 'cause of zealous armed forces

I eat no breath-mints 'cause they're from de-hoofed horses

Guessed a couple of times, lol I had no idea London's subway is bigger

than Munich's...I've been on Munich's. In fact we got lost down in the

subway system in Munich, not a lot of fun.

Is London's color coded like Munich's was? It seemed like the end

stops were listed but if you needed anything in between you just had to

guess...we finally found the Olympic stadium on the fifth try...after

riding the other four from one end to the other.

i assume someone answered this by now

but, yes, the lines are all color coded...

the london metro was a breeze, and went near everywhere we needed to go (even if we did walk everywhere anyways when we could)

much easier public transpo then here in the bay area...

Well if you think the Bay area's rough, and I heard the same from Jess,

it still beats here, we have NO public transportation at all, county-

wide.

 

Jess used to commute from Compton into SF daily, and was less than

thrilled with riding under the Bay. LOL
