... and nobody was shot, tasered or beaten to a pulp by overzealous rozzers. Love the bloke at 0:57, by the way.

1st. The state is us, the citizens.
2nd. The government is the state government, an employee of the state, established by the state and for the state. The state government owns no property and has no authority, it only manages our public assets, and acts in our authority.

Those things you mention were changed by protest.
People exercising their 1st amendment right to assemble and petition the government, assembled, and were a royal PITA to a lot of other people.
In time, that forced the hand of those who had been elected to placate those that protested, to get rid of the nuisance.

Since then, the right to assemble has been 'interpreted' as a secondary right, and the right to petition the government is the primary.
This empowered the government to require permits for protests, and subsequently just remove protesters.
Now you can only write a letter asking for change. The right to petition has basically been neutered, by removing the one effective method of coercion that the state [common man] had over the government.

Elections are not democracy.
How you come up with your representative is irrelevant.
Elected, appointed, born, whatever. It's absolutely irrelevant.

Democracy = People's rule.
Representative democracy = People's rule by a representative 3rd party.

The representative is not a leader.
He is an agent obligated to represent (i.e. listen to and obey) his constituents.

So long as a representative is actively representing, then he is executing his office, then the state has democracy.

If the representative goes off and does what he wants, and ignores what the state wants, then the state has no democracy.

We in the U.S. have no "leaders".
We the people are the leaders.
The people we elect are employed by us to represent us, in a government of our creation.

Whether or not the people in government care to do their jobs or not, is a separate issue.

Right now, someone will get elected. Even if they only voted for themselves.
There is no requirement to have a positive rating from the people, in order to get elected.
Regardless who gets elected, they all get paid by the same lobbyists, and pander to the same financial interests.
The only way you get change for the common man, is when it incidentally aligns with what's good for the entrenched interests.

eg. If Obamacare works out in the end. Great. If not, oh well, another 'meh' program that in the end just provides state unemployment labor. Whatever.
Either way, it didn't happen for a love of the common man and his health. It happened because insurance companies were lobbying for it.





I would like to add that "the other" is generally a really poor propaganda based impression.
Every country on earth, it's not as great their media says it is, and it's not as bad as other's media says it is.

Here a cop will shoot a little old lady half a dozen times for picking a fight with a random other person (this just happened locally).
In a crap ton of ex-soviet countries that people love to grimace about 'how bad it is', you can argue with the cops till they let you go. And you don't have to assume they will beat you to a pulp for it.

People's impression of "police state" is what they imagine from movies. A 1984 caricature. But that's not what a police state look like in reality.
It's a place that's generally normal, unimposing, and only time to time when you step on the wrong person's toes, you end up 'going away for a while'.

Here in the U.S., 1 in 18 men is in jail or on parole.
Good luck finding another country that even comes close.
The policing is out of control. Way too much 'getting tough' on irrelevant things that shouldn't even be a bother, let alone be considered crimes.

20 years ago I raved about Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction to anyone who would listen. But his one-note style of mashing up other films' scenes and music (as a tribute-parody-homage-sly reference-injoke-Easter egg, etc) has gotten as stale as any other form of sampling.

But I guess he will always have his Beliebers or Taran-teenies, or whatever they're called.

Thanks for your interest i have another video coming soon for my latest release called License to Love: Trilogy by Amelia Rose its available to buy at amazon now and has become a Best Seller within 2 weeks.

Someone's chumming for interest in some pulp fiction, let the user respond....maybe 24 hours, if we see hide-nor-hair, ice her.

Tarantino Dancing The Pulp Fiction Twist has been added as a related post - related requested by ant on that post.

Why stop there? Add these journalistic abortions to your short list of similar schlock-proctors, it's the same bag of shit with a more palatable label for those so programatically-defined:

MSNBC
ABC
CBS
NBC
CNN
Too many newspapers to name as complicit shit-rags, but try these time-honored, not-worth-wiping-with, pulp-poopaganda pages:
Newsweek
TIME
U.S. News & World Report

All designed to do one thing;
Guide peeps with no need-to-know into becoming much more ineffectual and idiocratic citizens.

They're all the fucking same beast, Babylon.

I also put this up behind Pulp Fiction (Kill Bill might be higher, but this is way up there anyhow)... I didn't see Death Proof, and Reservoir Dogs isn't super high on my list (was perhaps in a bad mood the one day I tried to watch it, it is one of those films I want to see again and give a chance to).

I think you forgot to tick the sarcasm box

I thought that this, after Pulp Fiction, was his best movie

First off the man doin the raping in this movie is homosexual. He raped her for power and nothing more. During the scene he tells her that he is going to rape her and harm her because she is rich and beautiful. He hates women that think they are better than other's because they are beautiful and have money. If anyone has seen this movie he goes on and decides to beat her to a bloody pulp, So for that Lonestar guy your wrong, rape is not about a man or woman getting it else where it is about them stripping someone of everything that they are. Even a man or woman that is being satisfied by the person they are with still go out to rob another of their innocence. So please do research before you go around runnin your mouth.

Is pulp fiction less appealing because we never get a reveal on whats in the case? Who really cares what the tessaract is? We know its a source of power what more do you need? And homework.....really? If you don't know Thanos on sight then you don't know ANY Marvel villain and it wouldn't matter who was at the end.

Nah, just loquacious and it hits every once inna while. Playing numbers with pulp!!

Well for anyone who wants dirt on Carter it's out there-For instance, during his 1970 Gubernatorial campaign, he placated segregationist voters and after he was elected made public statements that distanced himself from those fans-So fans of crying "racism" might be interested-

As far as presidencies go his tenure could be adequately described as mediocre and relatively ineffectual. Can't knock his humanitarian efforts. He's written 27 books, pulp-drivel that guaranteed him some steady shit-tickets over the years....Can't really say a whole lot outside of his defense, he wasn't the greatest beltway marionette but that game has been fixed solid since before most of you were born.

Do you remember being outraged at Pulp Fictions $5 shake? Seems like a good deal these days.
