My Attitude Is If Somebody Blunders Into The Level Of Popularity; At Least Remember The Human Factor. These Guys Are Still Human Beings And Hopefully Still Have Hearts And If You Keep In Touch With Them Rather Than Vilify Them You May Be Able To Encourage Them To Go In The Right Direction. What I'm Hoping Will Eventually Happen Is That They Will Grasp The Amount Of Power And Financial Clout That Is Now At Their Fingertips And Use Those As Tools To Help Real People With Real Things The Way Punk Politics Was Always Designed To Do Before, But Nobody Had Any Money.

I Don't Think It's Too Hippie To Want To Clean Up The Planet So You Don't Wind Up Dying Of Some Kind Of Cancer When You're 45 Years Old. It Enrages Me That These Big Cancer-research Organizations Can't Be Bothered To Man The Front Lines Of Environmental Protest.

You Can Spend The Money On New Housing For Poor People And The Homeless, Or You Can Spend It On A Football Stadium Or A Golf Course.

Especially In Local Elections, Because Hardly Anybody Pays Attention To Those - But It's Really Important Who's Mayor And Who's On The City Council, County Commissioners, Sheriffs, District Attorney, And Of Course The School Board.
