Marx's musicians friends

This freestyle rap calls for revolution. This music expresses poverty and political issues that go hand in (or -with- I don't know idioms-but something like that) hand with Marx's revolution plan.

Do you live to work or work to live?

That is my brothers e-mail signature. And that is exactly what Marx is telling us. In our society we have been condition to 'work to live.' If we don't work we are lazy, if we don't want to success in this materialistic world we are losers, hippies, un-American because we are not pursuing the American dream, but if we would have learn otherwise, then it will be easier to accept, understand, and agree with Marx's plan "be a fisherman in the morning, a carpenter in the afternoon, a poet at night."

Did anyone attend the $28,000 dinner


down at the Dorothy Chandler Hall? It was a fund raiser for Barack Obama - $28,000 a plate. He had one of these events also in Manhattan on Park Avenue. Watch for SF, Seattle, Chicago, Miami, Washington DC and Boston. In LA, he raised over $4 million in one meal. 10 cities, 10 meals - 30 million easy.

Can a candidate raise money from the bourgeoisie and then assist the proletariat? See http://theory414.blogspot.com/ from Soc 414 to see how they are using their blog.

Confused

What determines who I am? In so many ways I feel that God predetermines who and what I am. That's what the bible says. Marx says my society is to blame. Then I feel like my surroundings play a huge part but I think about my situtation and have to wonder. I'm not like some people who grew up in my neighborhood. Why am I different? Why did my life turn out different? So confused.

We spend 90% of our time trying to be different.

When some one at school confuses me with another girl, my answer to them is, "I am unique there is no one like me." My religon taught me that people outside of my religion are worldly, therefore, we are different. I belonged to the "special group of people who will live for ever in paradise. I was different than the rest of the world." Weber explains that religion has taught their followers a status of distiction which is guarantee by conventions and laws, but specially by "religious sanctions." I don't know what he means by sanctions but I think that religion should be hold accountable for many cathastrophic political decisions that have devastated countries, that have created genosides, that have murder women and children simply because the opposite side has diffent color eyes, skin tone, different opinions, different religion!!. I seems that I am contradicting my self when I say "different religion" (is it a back fire?) But, I think that it proves that religion should be blame for making me believe that I was different than you.
