Shelter the weak, tend to the sick. Let the healthy work in the fields, hunt, keep the fires burning, run the factories, attend to their enterprise and labor as needed. To create, to learn, to explore, to apply, to improve, for ten thousand years this has been the positive progress of civilization.

What's the Frequency, Kenneth?
"What's the Frequency, Kenneth?" is a song by the American alternative rockband R.E.M. from their 1994 album Monster. The song's title refers to an incident in New York City in 1986, when two then-unknown assailants attacked journalist Dan Rather, while repeating "Kenneth, what is the frequency?".
"What's the frequency, Kenneth?" is your Benzedrine, uh-huh
I was brain-dead, locked out, numb, not up to speed
I thought I'd pegged you an idiot's dream
Tunnel vision from the outsider's screen
I never understood the frequency, uh-huh
You wore our expectations like an armored suit, uh-huh
I'd studied your cartoons, radio, music, TV, movies, magazines
Richard said, "Withdrawal in disgust is not the same as apathy"
A smile like the cartoon, tooth for a tooth
You said that irony was the shackles of youth
You wore a shirt of violent green, uh-huh
I never understood the frequency, uh-huh
"What's the frequency, Kenneth?" is your Benzedrine, uh-huh
Butterfly decal, rear-view mirror, dogging the scene
You smile like the cartoon, tooth for a tooth
You said that irony was the shackles of youth
You wore a shirt of violent green, uh-huh
I never understood the frequency, uh-huh…
a glitch in the matrix
the hand that feeds
You're keeping in step
In the line
Got your chin held high and you feel just fine
Cause you do
What you're told
But inside your heart it is black and it's hollow and it's cold
Just how deep do you believe?
Will you bite the hand that feeds?
Will you chew until it bleeds?
Can you get up off your knees?
Are you brave enough to see?
Do you want to change it?
What if this whole crusade's
A charade
And behind it all there's a price to be paid
For the blood
On which we dine
Justified in the name of the holy and the divine
Just how deep do you believe?
Will you bite the hand that feeds?
Will you chew until it bleeds?
Can you get up off your knees?
Are you brave enough to see?
Do you want to change it?
So naive
I keep holding on to what I want to believe
I can see
But I keep holding on and on and on and on
[8X]
Will you bite the hand that feeds you?
Will you stay down on your knees?

California Uber Alles
I am Governor Jerry Brown
My aura smiles
And never frowns
Soon I will be president...
Carter Power will soon go away
I will be Fuhrer one day
I will command all of you
Your kids will meditate in school
Your kids will meditate in school!

Finally, it’s intriguing because 13 days after Newsom unveiled his budget, New Yorker magazine published a lengthy article suggesting that the family of San Francisco billionaire Gordon Getty had set up trusts in Nevada for Getty’s daughters specifically to avoid California taxes.
Getty was something of a surrogate father to Newsom after his parents divorced and Getty’s personal trust, managed by Newsom’s late father, provided the seed money for Newsom’s Plump Jack wine and restaurant business.
