you got the hard cough of a chainsmoker, and youre at the arctic circle , playing strippoker *laughing* I love that chick, best lyrics above anyone i can think of cohen is the only one close to giving her a run for the money
regardless of politics: “youve got the hard cough of a chainsmoker, and youre at the arctic circle.. playing strip poker. and its getting colder and colder every time you lose.” such a great image
I truly must apologize jimdoire – I mis-interrupted what you where saying – should have paid more attention. I will always admit when I’m wrong and I’m so sorry for attacking you – got a bit too defensive – sorry but I am a huge Ani fan which is no excuse.
HalfItalianChick- You’ve got me so wrong. I love Ani DiFranco. I BOUGHT and not stole almost everyone of her CD’s and have seen her live four times, which the tickets cost money. All I was saying to this person who said “enjoy your capitalism” is that in fact I do and that I would think Ani does as well because I was not given the CD’s nor the tickets. Nor was I given the computer and the access to the internet to where I could watch her on YouTube. Get it? Captilism made it ALL possible.
I’m all for free speech and shit but find another hobby then seeking out artists you don’t appreciate or like and quote shit you probably don’t really understand!!! Find another venue.
Still not even a suggestion to a solution, just more bitching about it. I agree that those who blew this deal should be left for dead of more so, tried as criminals. A complete investigation needs to be done and not just a paper one. I’m talking about a genuine kick ass, take names kind of investigation. It will never happen and the money lost will never be found. So now what? If the banks stop loaning money many more business go tits up. I don’t like the bail out but what’s the alternative?
they made bad investments they should be out of business; Not propped up with the people’s monet. did your IRA 401k loose money?
are they paying you back?
it’s all a shell game.
we’ll take bags of money to buy bread soon.
well you kind of did with your “enjoy you capitalism” remark and then followed that by the price tag that you listed the govt is dropping to bail out the banks.I’m curous, what would be you idea of what would happen if these banks were allowed to fail? You seem to bitch loud enough about it so I’m guessing you against the buy out. What’s your solution?
I have read Marx. Smart guy. Good ideas. Not very practical considering human nature. And you’re right, this is not a good podium considering the 500 word limit. But the point I want to make is that you denouncing captialism on the internet is like denouncing loud speakers and using a loud speaker to do it with. You’re paying someone to be on the internet or someone is paying them. Bottom line, someone is making money from you being on the internet. Capitalism, as we practice it, isn’t so bad.
Capitalism is a financial theory of economists; it’s not presently practiced in it’s true form but
better to read Karl Marx ” The Communist Manifesto ” for an explanation on Capitalism,

you call it capitalism but it’s just industrialization
It’s not real capitalism. the gov could not print more fake money (no real backing in gold/silver) or take your money away from you and send it to Wall Street; while they steal auto worker pensions & health benefits (under legal contracts). It’s a rigged gov game not capitalism.
$46K means 46 thousand so I don’t know how much you really get. And you being a vegetarian has nothing to do with the modern day slavery of migrant farm workers and the border issues of those people coming to pick your salad greens. Unless of course you grow you own food. People we all have blood on our hands. I “get it” enough and am honest enough to admit it. And you’re music is not free. You just saw Ani on youtube. Again, you’re giving in to capitalism. I think you’re misinformed.
you just don’t get it.
it’s all smoke & mirrors & the curtains been pulled back. enjoy sending $46K to Wall St.
I’m vegetarian and my music is free……..
You got to see this video because of capitalism. You even got to post your opinon to my post thanks to capitalism. If YouTube was not making money for someone, somewhere, it would cease to be. You paying your internet access fees show you support captalism. You’re the type who buys chicken or steak at the grocery and denies you had a hand in the animals death. Capitalism will never stop so long as people can’t or won’t do everything for themselves. Go slaughter a pig or write your own music.
you got the hard cough of a chainsmoker, and youre at the arctic circle , playing strippoker *laughing* I love that chick, best lyrics above anyone i can think of
cohen is the only one close to giving her a run for the money

I miss the anti-capitalist, anti-war Ani. I wish she would come back.

I Love 1:58… Turn my vocal down up here!! So funny. i love it when she is just real – like, pretty much always seems like.

This is directed at jimdoire if he/she/it couldn’t figure it out.

I love Ani, and she is uber talented, but she is so high maintenance : ) Love you girl, rock on!
Thank you Ani!!! You are the greatest!!! I am so greatful for everything you do!!

In your mind, what is REAL capitalism?
