“Good evening, London. Allow me first to apologize for this interruption. I do, like many of you, appreciate the comforts of every day routine- the security of the familiar, the tranquility of repetition. I enjoy them as much as any bloke. But in the spirit of commemoration, thereby those important events of the past usually associated with someone’s death or the end of some awful bloody struggle, a celebration of a nice holiday, I thought we could mark this November the 5th, a day that is sadly no longer remembered, by taking some time out of our daily lives to sit down and have a little chat.

There are of course those who do not want us to speak. I suspect even now, orders are being shouted into telephones, and men with guns will soon be on their way. Why? Because while the truncheon may be used in lieu of conversation, words will always retain their power. Words offer the means to meaning, and for those who will listen, the enunciation of truth. And the truth is, there is something terribly wrong with this country, isn’t there? Cruelty and injustice, intolerance and oppression. And where once you had the freedom to object, to think and speak as you saw fit, you now have censors and systems of surveillance coercing your conformity and soliciting your submission. How did this happen? Who’s to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you’re looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror. I know why you did it. I know you were afraid. Who wouldn’t be? War, terror, disease.

There were a myriad of problems which conspired to corrupt your reason and rob you of your common sense. Fear got the best of you, and in your panic you turned to the now high chancellor, Adam Sutler. He promised you order, he promised you peace, and all he demanded in return was your silent, obedient consent. Last night I sought to end that silence.

Last night I destroyed the Old Bailey, to remind this country of what it has forgotten. More than four hundred years ago a great citizen wished to embed the fifth of November forever in our memory. His hope was to remind the world that fairness, justice, and freedom are more than words, they are perspectives. So if you’ve seen nothing, if the crimes of this government remain unknown to you then I would suggest you allow the fifth of November to pass unmarked. But if you see what I see, if you feel as I feel, and if you would seek as I seek, then I ask you to stand beside me one year from tonight, outside the gates of Parliament, and together we shall give them a fifth of November that shall never, ever be forgot.”

Tonight, I have the honour of attending a Guy Fawkes party here in LA, hosted by a British friend of mine. Looking forward to the bonfire!

“home” - edward sharpe & the magnetic zeros

this is my new favorite song.

I wish the whole album was this amazing. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a good record, but this song is just perfect.

See what happens when you enrage your liberal customer base by trying to block health care reform!

venezianijournal:

Shares of Whole Foods (WFMI) are plummeting this morning as the company announced lower-than-expected earnings per share of $1.05 to $1.10. The Street’s estimate was for $1.11, which has caused a…

On come on now.  Let’s not stretch the truth here.  John Mackey certainly did not try to “block” health care reform.  What he did was put forth ideas for health care reform that are different from the left.  What pissed the Liberals off is that they don’t really want a conversation that encourages ideas for health care reform, they just want everyone to shut up and accept their way.

Correct, halcyon. Whole Foods has been on the downward trend since Oct of 2006, for the record. Before health care was in the media or Congress. They actually provide great health care to nearly all their employees. I personally know 3 people that have worked at Whole Foods for many years…they love their jobs, their company, everything it values. Some of his ideas on health care reform were not off the mark either.

Their issues regarding stock price and earning is based on the overall economy more than anything else. Its considerably more expensive to shop there, especially in regard to produce. But those fortunate enough to have one in their town understands the quality of goods that can be purchased there. But people are hurting right now and many are forced to go to other grocery stores.

Whole foods believes in fair trade with their suppliers as well as operating their company in environmentally friendly ways. And let’s not forget…they also promote healthy eating. Organic food, whole grains, few to no preservatives. All of which makes people healthier and need less health care. To throw a company like this under the bus because they don’t just lap up all of Washington’s bullshit is not right. But this is what I have become accustomed to seeing. People who don’t understand situations making unjustified remarks. the left and their supports are so great at calling out Fox news and the right on it…you’d think they would be smart enough to not practice what they preach against, but I guess that’s wishful thinking. Until that changes…I’m still keeping out of politics.

Switchfoot - “Mess of Me”

Their new single/video…and it simply rocks! I’ve been a fan for a very long time & although I enjoyed their last couple of albums, it felt like they weren’t growing or maturing their sound at all. Hearing this song however? Wow, can’t wait to hear the whole thing. Love it.

Sounds like their break has really helped focus & progress. Jon Foreman’s solo EP’s and work in Fiction Family has all been great as well, but I’m loving the return to rock & roll form.
