Plato was a fascist...

Okay, so wow, I haven't really been keeping up with this blog thing.

Grr.... This week's going to be crazy busy though, with Jamboree and everything.

Anyway, I ran across something reading the Republic of Plato-

"The introduction of novel fashions of music is a thing to beware of as endangering the whole fabric of society..."

I think Plato would have had a problem with blues music- or jazz or rock or rap- basically any music that originated in the United States... Can you imagine a world where music is not allowed to have any sort of innovation? Who would want to live like that?

Sometimes, it's important to stand against convention in protest.

Speaking of protests- you should check out Culture Jammer's blog, she's got some amazing photos and information about the protest she attended over Thanksgiving. It's pretty incredible. Go look NOW!
