Down Here On The Ground*

April 26, 2010
Saw these two guys/musicians on the train a couple of days ago. One raps the other...then again, they both rap, but one also plays guitar. They have a interesting sound. Don't know their name. Their website is www.wearethecrowd.com. The website features a third member, a female. I guess they call themselves The Crowd. Anyway I'm  just wondering how many of you may have seen them.

Thompson vs Bloomberg

Should a mayor who has bodaciously shown himself to be a megalomaniac by changing the law on term limits just so that he could run again be allowed to succeed?

     The question is not was it racism? By definition race was involved. The question is did it rise to the level that something needs to be done about it and if so what?
     Ironically, the issue he chose to respond to was indeed overt racism. Have u ever wondered why immigrants r often called "aliens?" Afterall, they're from another nation not another planet. I use to wonder until I found myself having to do some of the jobs they and no one else is willing to do. Like, car wash car dryer or parking attendant or cook or roofer or nanny or gardener...Do u know that most often they work for less than minimum wage or that the tips r shared with everyone and still they make less than a living wage or that they work 12 hour days 7 days a week or that the so-called illegals often have to pay someone to help them get to the US and everyday have to worry about their families back home if they don't make the repayment or that they constantly live in fear of exposure to the authorities or that they r what slavery has evolved to now that we don't have slavery anymore. Do u know that our politicians r in denial about all of this?
     They're called "aliens" because it's the way we are suppose to treat them. Not because of where they're from.
