are we just tilting at windmills? can we really make an effective change to our society? i feel people have to connect on a one to one level before we can change anything. communication is the key, we have to talk to one another and  really accept people as people without reservation so we can reach that point.  i have as much worth as you and you have as much worth as me. I and Thou, I & I . we really are the same inside appearances and bias block a lot of real communication. i really have mixed feelings about people in this community cuz i've been saying the same shit for at least the last 3 years since i moved back here and it seems that now people are starting to listen to me a bit. and i wonder why they didn't listen a long time ago. i tried to  do alot of stuff over these years and i received little or no help from any one. i was tilting at  windmills all alone, telling people about what was going on and actually people la de da'd and ignored me. i will give you one instance. when they  were doing all the anti war stuff i went to the protests cuz war kills people. well the cops said alot of stuff to me that was unconstitutional and basically harassing me. telling me stuff  like "don't go to those protests" saying stuff "like what are you here for the free food"
or using their catch phrase "out of sight out of mind" when i was the only poor person (read that word i hate "h-----ss")  well it was getting so bad i had the brainstorm to taperecorder the cops. I told all those lefty fucks about it but none of them could seem to find e a recorder. I finally got a tape recorder from another poor person and was able to make one recording. well people in the pirate radio got ahold of the tape and started just playing parts of it without me even being able to put my side of it out, i mean i was there and i wanted to explain what exactly went down before during and after. but they just started playing that tape indiscriminately without my input!!! the first time i heard it on the radio it was like they played part of the tape and then some guy starts talking like "yo yo yo thats some shit bla bla kinda like a rapper sound" i was horified. my story never got out and still to this day have not got to tell everybody why all this was really wrong for the cops to do. drew of cop watch kinda knows that side of it cuz he gave me a tape recorder months after the fact butwas  then it was too late. cant record the pigs if they know you did it before. I got one tape but if these lefty little fucks would of helped me i would of got way more and then what i did get  was put on the airwaves without my input effectively  losing the real message.
