Subject: Malcolm-X  and  The Regenesis of the American Dream
Date: 27 Aug 92 22:26:00 GMT

I think Spike Lee got the right idea, but the wrong date.

Instead of releasing the Malcolm-X movie on November 20,
it should come out on November 3rd.

And rather than folks just-taking-off, by all means have a SICK-OUT.
Everyone should take off from work and school that day, -*Everyone*-.

And while they're out, headed for the movie, whichever movie,
stop off and -=VOTE=-. Then reward yourself for doing so.

You gotta get registered now though, if you ain't -- cause it takes
a while. And if you can't figure out who to vote for on election
day ('cause the major parties only offer the same-old-puppets,
and the same-old-super-huge tax-dollar-sucking government-pork),
then write your own name in -- even if they're gonna junk it.

The reason is that voting, like prayer, starts as a hope. And
when you start to conceive of a better way, or think about who's
a better person, or how to get something done which you think
oughta be taken care of -- then that hope starts to grow. When
you vote, or even plan to vote, the change that you want starts
in you even before it affects anyone else, and that's the best
reason to vote. If you can't trust anyone else -- then at least
vote for yourself.

Even those of who you still really enjoy the competition of
voting party-line, so you can grind other folks down into the
mud, and win no matter what -- to prove you're more macho, or
holy, or slicker than all those other "scum" out there, who in
your mind you wouldn't be caught dead calling "neighbor"... you
oughta keep voting too. Cause it's the 10-20% of party activist
who routinely vote, (... and redistrict, and restrict voting
laws...) and who are responsible for all the $4 trillion TAX-dollars
of live snortin' pork we now have -- called The Federal Debt.
And I want to see you try to defend your greed, when we start to
cut it away.

By the way -- the *total* government debt burden is a good deal
bigger when you figure in state and local too. Yep, even party
activist, who push competition over cooperation, should also vote
-- while you still can -- cause that pit of usury you've created
can rightly be called HELL. You are the same ones who seek to
keep others out of the political process by having elections on
Tuesdays -- such as on November 3rd.

You're also the ones who would object to a routinely used
-= mail-in vote =- which would actually give everyone a voice.
Or even a vote on the weekend.

Spike Lee is right -- and perhaps inspired; so please get
him to move that movie release date up to November 3rd.
I'd like to see it myself -- if white folk are welcome.

Everyone please take a sick day then and go vote -- our nation
needs a cure. The actual results won't matter nearly so much as
the change that comes in your heart when you start lookin' for a
better way, which can start by deciding to vote.

The old American Dream is dead and laid to rest -- Amen. But you
can bring it's Regenesis -- by deciding to vote the change is
will be reborn again in you.
