dave matthews band live on wall street?

i saw this flyer in a train the other day, i've decided it needed some attention. in this discussion there are a few points that need to be addressed.

1. national march on wallstreet
2. we demand jobs: bail out the people not banks
3. bring ALL the troops home now
4. April 3&4 1pm
5. mlk jr.

1. this seems interesting enough, but not interesting enough for me to say more than, i hope you bring blankets to catch the jumpers.
2. i think it not unreasonable to see how the people are kind of being bailed out by the bail out. i'm not going to say, "BAM", because i'm not sure its a perfect solution, but i'm confident that if the government split up 700 billion (or whatever it is) among the population, we'd all be super rich for a few days and then that mysterious inflation would set in, causing prices to skyrocket, and the perpetual taxation would repay the loan, and then... actually i'm kind of making a case for my 2 million.
3. bringing all the troops back? really, now? oh wait then i could get even more money because we could split up the remaining trillions again and i'd be even super richer.
4. ok, i think i can hold out my criticism on this one, why do we have two marches for the same cause? then i pause - because its national and soooo many people will be there that we won't be able to all fit. this makes sense too....
5. mlk jr. well if he endorses this posthumously i guess i don't have a choice but to rally behind him.

this might be the greatest march in history... other than that dave matthews band song about ants. it actually makes sense that this is the real reason people will bring their blankets and why its two days in a row... its all coming together.

  1. MLK died on April 4th, dummy.

    I'm really the dummy 'cause the only reason I know that is 'cause it's my birthday, yo.

    You're funny.

  2. oh yeah, maybe that's why they stretched it into two days. i wonder if bono will show up at the wrong time of day.
