xVEGAN GROCERY CLERKx

I am an advocate of THE STRAIGHT EDGE. I am VEGAN. Punk rock changed my life. I play guitar in JOYFUL SOUNDS with some of the best friends a person could ask for. I like Dr. Pepper, dumpster diving and playing music with my friends. I also like riding my fixed-gear bike with my friends. Biking is a great way to relieve stress and feel more connected with your community. I am studying to become a high school art teacher because if I have to submit and join society, I at least want my job to be something rewarding that has a positive effect on who I come into contact with. Art in general: paintings, writing, drawing, music, whatever medium it may be is fantastic. It has been responsible for creating revolution and ending tyranny, and there is nothing more powerful. ------------------------------------------------------------ ---------------------------------------------------------- These words by Billy Bragg also help to describe some of the feelings I have : ------------------------------------------------------------ ---------------------------------------------------------- In 1649 To St George's Hill A ragged band they called the Diggers Come to show the people's will. They defied the landlords They defied the law They were the dispossessed Reclaiming what was theirs.'We come in peace' they said 'To dig and sow. We come to work the land in common And to make the waste land grow. This earth divided We will make whole, So it can be A common treasury for all.The sin of property We do disdain. No one has any right to buy and sell The earth for private gain. By theft and murder They took the land. Now everywhere the walls Rise up at their commandThey make the laws To chain us well. The clergy dazzle us with heaven Or they damn us into hell. We will not worship The God they serve. The God of greed who feeds the rich While poor men starve.We work, we eat together We need no swords. We will not bow to masters Or pay rent to the lords. We are free men Though we are poor. You Diggers all stand up for glory Stand up now.From the men of property The orders came. They sent the hired men and troopers To wipe out the Diggers' claim. Tear down their cottages Destroy their corn. They were dispersed But still the vision lingers on.You poor take courage You rich take care. This earth was made a common treasury For everyone to share. All things in common Al people one We come in peace - The order came to cut them down
