I live up in the hills, and i don't have any cable, and i have really slow satellite, so that does it - because being on the internet is okay, but it takes a long time. i have a prediction that at some point, there will be a backlash. like at the end of the '60s, there was that back-to-the-land movement, and i'm guessing that people will start consciously saying, "i'm not taking the phone with me," or "i'm only checking email x number of times a day," or "i'm not ever gonna self-google," for example.

I just don't need cable news. there's nothing that happens on cable news that i don't already know. i'm talking about just the acquisition of information, learning things. what is on cable tv is not that. cable news isn't news. what is happening on cable news right now is a political assassination of not just donald trump, but of ideas and cultural mores that i believe in.

Every time a militant islamist terrorist shoots somebody up, what does barack obama do and the democrats? they come out and they demand that there be no backlash against muslims. so any time a police officer shoots a black suspect - without knowing why, without knowing the circumstances - why doesn't obama stand up and warn against a backlash against cops? if we are to guard against backlash against muslim shooters, where is the sameness?
Police Black Cop
The backlash against women's rights would be just one of several powerful forces creating a harsh and painful climate for women at work. reagonomics, the recession, and the expansion of a minimum-wage service economy also helped, in no small measure, to slow and even undermine women's momentum in the job market. but the backlash did more than impede women's opportunities for employment, promotions, and better pay. its spokesmen kept the news of many of these setbacks from women. not only did the backlash do grievous damage to working women c it did on the sly.
Jobs Powerful Opportunity
We don't believe it's possible to protect digital content. what's new is this amazingly efficient distribution system for stolen property called the internet-- and no one's gonna shut down the internet. and it only takes one stolen copy to be on the internet. and the way we expressed it to them is: pick one lock--open every door. it only takes one person to pick a lock. worst case: somebody just takes the analog outputs of their cd player and rerecords it-- puts it on the internet. you'll never stop that. so what you have to do is compete with it.

When i began writing poems, it was in the late 60s and early 70s when the literary and cultural atmosphere was very much affected by what was going on in the world, which was, in succession, the civil rights movement, the antiwar movement, and the women's movement in the 60s, 70s, and into the early 80s. and all of those things affected me and affected my thinking, particularly the vietnam war.

A war for a great principle ennobles a nation. a war for commercial supremacy, upon some shallow pretext, is despicable, and more than aught else demonstrates to what immeasurable depths of baseness men and nations can descend.
