Interesting point about the JFK - MLK conspiracy differences... So, where are the 'positive' conspiracies? Was the 'Jesus' one of those? After all 'he', (whether he existed or not) as told in the tales, espoused compassion, empathy and selflessness. And Guatama Buddha, there's another benign...

Really? <b>Empathy</b> is the only act which completely affirms our humanity. Great art <i>can</i> come from empathy, the only genuine source of all beneficient actions. Empathy reaches out and offers a helping hand when the shit hits the fan. Empathy is the recognition that we are in it...

As I said, after the 'artist' has done something genuinely usefull (like fix a pothole, or tend to food growing or making hay, whatever) for the community, he or she is welcome, IMO, to create whatever they like. But creating art is not in of itself implicitly usefull to the community. Whereas...

art, truth and power. As regards 'art' it's a load of cobblers. Rockefeller, and others plunged a fortune into creating an art establishment that made abstract art the most important, well paid form of expression, across the various media, simply to pre-empt the art of honesty, the art of...

music you hate! Any and all commercial music, whose prime aim is to earn a living or to gain a profit. Back in the day, yer average native could sing, play and perform as and when needed. And do it brilliantly. All these pussy types, who 'earn' a living from entertaining, and do fuckall else...

In a dysfunctional family, the members fall into various roles, the scapegoat, the black sheep, the perfect child, the nagging mother, the distant father and so on. They all PRETEND that their family is FINE, both to themselves and to others outside the family. They will do this unconsciously...

tagging Just to note that I totally disagree with tagging asylum seekers, as described above. It is dehumanizing, and it is the beginning of a process that will dehumanize us all. These kinds of processes have been engaged many times in our sad history. It was not much fun being Irish in London...

According to The Power Inquiry http://www.powerinquiry.org the 'apathy' of the UK citizen is an illusion, a smokescreen if you will. They say this because there are 20 million adults who are involved in actions ranging from emailing MPs, to visiting prisons, to community volunteering, to...

Iran Considering what is acutally happening, and has been happening for some time : low level nuclear war, in Iraq, it is now, more than ever incumbent upon all adults who have an audience to speak up, to put the truth, the truth that needs to be said to power, on the table, clear for all to...

That is exactly what I was talking about - shite like that has nothing to offer anyone, other than re-inforcing prodoundly negative stereotypes and is NOT in any way representative of the original motivation, awarness and aspirations of hip-hop. "I love my bitch" is as much use to humanity as...

Best Newspapers? The best Newspaper is the one you use to wipe yer arse - finally it finds a genuinely usefull ;) application. And gets recycled! lol!

What I meant, and I hope this came through, was that they wanted to raise consciousness, to motivate people to take steps change, to reclaim their power as people .... and thus rather than escapism, it was about facing the reality full-on ..... and that is what the corporate mind is terrified of...

rephrase I should rephrase my closing line from the entry above : UK/US have ALWAYS been one political/financial entity...... :eek:

Style or content? To put it simply - content is far more important that genre or style! ;)

Hip Hop? or reality Check~! Hip Hop if ya read Changs book was in the beginning an expression, a protest, about a grim 'reality' that ghetto black/hispanic and white people in Kingston, Jamacia and NY and other huge US cities were subject to and it expressed an attempt to rally people to change...

Rebellion - stay in bed! The one law everyone seems to miss, a law that is not on any statute books anywhere, is this - all workers deserve an equal share in the profits/rewards of the business or enterprise they are working in, an equal share whether they are Executives or Janitors. Anything...

The UK It's amazing whats happening here! The UK Executive (Prime Minister) is as we write attempting to pass a law that will allow him to repeal, reform any old laws without reference to parliament! It will also allow him to create new crimes, with a levy of up to two years in the nick, any...

Jobs, wages? Gimme a break! Who needs a 'job' if they can grow their own food, draw their own water, build their own shelter? Do the bushmen of the Kalahari 'need' jobs? Did the Native Americans need jons? Do the ABoriginals of Australia 'need' 'jobs'? The problems in Africa stem from one...

Money or meaning? Interesting discussion ........ this is how I frame it for me ...... I am a singer/songwriter, dj, producer and have performed to over 10,000 people in the last three years or so, I have had 12,000 visits to my site last year, over 5000 downloads of my music from there plus...
