Hij is alweer 6 jaar dood.

Omdat het mooi is; die klassieke interpretatie van een elektronisch minimalistisch meesterwerkje van Richard D. James (Aphex Twin) in combinatie met een ‘home video’. Een mooi tijdsbeeld. Maar wanneer? Wie zijn zij? Wat was de gelegenheid? En waar? (L.A.?)

Mooi comment onder de video op de joetjoebs:

“Guys in suits represent the rat race, responsibility. No longer living just for yourself. Providing for a family with a wife who wants, wants, wants. And kids who want even more. Not sure if you’re man enough to keep everything together. Yet here they are. On top of the world. Carefree. At peace. Beautiful.”

To me there is nothing more important in a democracy than free speech and debate. We should debate everything, we should talk about everything, we should engage ideas we aren’t comfortable with, and we should let the best ideas win, that’s how a healthy society based on rational ideas and a secular government should work, but too often these days it’s simply isn’t what’s happening, and while the far right in this country went off the deep end a while ago, what I’ve really been affected by is seeing my side, the people on the Left cherry-picking, fact stifling, debate and labeling everyone they disagree with a racist, a bigot, a homophobe, or worse. These aren’t liberal principles, much less are they the ideals our founders intended for us to use when they started this country.
