You know this is all your fault right? Rage Against the Machine may be musically superfluous but I haven't the foggiest idea who is saying anything politically relevant in music on any popularity scale.

Rage is not superflous rather its right on point my friends. Lets raise the consiousness limbo stick a little for this event to really have ears that lead to change. Its all layers upon layers, we can't call a pile of manure anthing but future soil, so.. I'm just wanting to check out the "sustainable society, free health care, food, and alternative schools demonstration village.
I feel that things like that are what these kind of giant hoopla events are all about.. Remaking society so that we care more somehow through our actions, developing those roots in trust for others' talents and abilities by coming together and working amazingly well with each other toward some common set of communication, education, freedom of expression goals.
