"change everything " Does a pop star release a song with obvious mistakes in it? Mistakes that hurt the ears of the listener? No, they and their producers spend countless hours perfecting the sound, listening over and over to the song, changing it, editing it, redoing parts of it again and again. So why is it that we have governments that go on repeating obvious mistakes over and over? Is government not a more important function in our society than music? People do not accept music that is poorly produced or out of key or the wrong tempo, but people accept government that is inadequately put together. People accept governments that produce divisive laws. And people accept governments that pursue destruction of humans and other life. People are stupid, people are so fucking stupid. Are you a stupid person? Are you really that fucking stupid? I think you are! I think you are the dumbest fuck out there! :) Because you are just like everybody else. I want you to listen to this song, it's a long song, so it will give you plenty of time to meditate. Then you can listen to it again and if you refer to my earlier analogy of the pop musician, you will analyse this song and find all the mistakes in it. I wrote it so I can tell you that there are lot of mistakes in it. So they are there, you just have to listen until you can hear all the mistakes. And then you will wonder if mistakes are such a bad thing in music? You might also wonder if finding mistakes in music is really worth your time? And to this wondering you will rightly answer, no. You must do it regardless. So. Is critical thinking constructive? Perhaps we should just let music be? Does everything have to be perfect? Does anything need to be even close to perfect, or even just very very good. I tell you the government is not even near very very average. If you gave a government a test it would fail miserably. You can see it everyday how badly the government is failing this test. Government constantly repeats the same mistakes over and over and over. It has access to the best resources for study, the best tutors and the greatest library. Yet the government is failing miserably. Like a stupid person that is given a quiz and even when they know the right answer, insist on repeating the wrong answer over and over. Like the stupid person, the government fears giving the right answer. To give the right answer would be to acknowledge responsibility. It would acknowledge the ability to do better, to learn. It would be to acknowledge that government could be very very very good, that government could be near perfect.

Running time is thirty two minutes and zero seconds. Format is mpthree.

The cover art for change everything was created by me, i'm in there somewhere... This background is not the actual cover art, it is a low saturation, low light copy of my original piece of artwork which was created in order that you might be able to read this text...

If you'd like the artwork in a different format, or you'd like me to send you a cd of this or other tracks just email me.
