Unpopular Ideas

"I'm afraid I have some unpopular thoughts / your government officials are mostly just bought"

Greetings and welcome, Dear Readers, new and old!

I thought I’d use this auspicious day to share some Unpopular Ideas with you.

Love,

Unpopular Ideas

I’m afraid I have some unpopular ideas
Our health is derived by letting go of fear
And eating clean food and breathing clean air
I’m afraid I have some unpopular ideas to share

I’m afraid I have some unpopular thoughts
Your government officials are mostly just bought
By oligarchic money bags grinning ear to ear
I’m afraid I have some unpopular ideas right here

I’m afraid I have just a few thoughts more
Most of your tax dollars get spent on endless war
And subsidized oil, subsidized GMO
I’m afraid I have some unpopular ideas, I know

I’m afraid I have some unpopular ideas to sing
Big Pharma runs the whole thing
And a for-profit industry don’t want you to be well
I’m afraid I have some unpopular ideas to tell

I’m afraid I have some unpopular ideas
Let’s throw out the screens all peddling fear
And go and meet your neighbor, maybe share some food
Finally start that garden, it don’t matter if it’s good
And go support yr farmer on regenerative land
I’m afraid I have some unpopular ideas, my friend

I’m afraid I have some unpopular ideas
Your health is derived by letting go of fear
And eating clean food and breathing clean air
I’m afraid I have some unpopular ideas to share

For the voluntaryists in the house, here’s our most recent episode of Terrain Theory called “Why We’re Not Voting.”

On the eve of elections here in the United States, co-hosts Ben & Mike break down the argument for opting out and choosing not to vote, using a selection of philosophy, comedy, and music through which to view this topic. In this conversation they discuss:

• Discourse on Voluntary Servitude by Étienne de La Boétie

• Why I Don't Vote by George Carlin

• Free State of Mind by The Mammals
