i believe we should all work to make this world a better place!

i believe in human rights!

i believe that education is important!

-now tell me:
how the fk can you disagree with statements like that? statements like tehse have been getting politicians elected in america for years now.

let's look at amnesty international. i used to ask the cool kids behind the amnesty tables what their petitions were about, and they would (dutifuly) answer "human rights, man. you should sign it"

"but what ABOUT human rights?"

"what the hell more do you need to know in order to support it, man? it's for HUMAN RIGHTS!"

i used to ask my friends in amnesty international what it stood for, they would say the same thing, "it's a human rights organization"

in truth, i do support a lot of what amnesty does, when i know what they do, but who is gonna stand up and say "i'm against human rights""i don't believe in human rights" even hitler wouldn't say that!

global peace and unity sounds like such an idealistic beautiful thing, but it DOESN'T MEAN ANYTHING. can i unite with the owner of my company abt the opression of me and my coworkers? can i unite with the kkk to fight racism?

it's just nuts that people DON'T THINK DEEPER

I'd draw yuh bath

pick you,

eatcha' honeydew ass,

-Giovanni, rhythmic poet extraordinaire

i believe in education and empowerment through art. i believe that movements happen when ideas are set to music. bodies and people come together through dance and movement, eyes awaken in the face of a good movie, and whatever ya gotta say is useless unless you can use these tools to reach right into people
