Curtis Stigers - (What's So Funny 'Bout) Peace, Love and Understanding?

As I walk through
This wicked world
Searchin' for light in the darkness of insanity.
I ask myself
Is all hope lost?
Is there only pain and hatred, and misery?
And each time I feel like this inside,
There's one thing I wanna know:
What's so funny 'bout peace love & understanding?
What's so funny 'bout peace love & understanding?
And as I walk on
Through troubled times
My spirit gets so downhearted sometimes
So where are the strong
And who are the trusted?
And where is the harmony?
Sweet harmony.
'Cause each time I feel it slippin' away, just makes me wanna cry.
What's so funny 'bout peace love & understanding?

What you do is find a reasonable car mechanic who is willing to play. Fake a stirring patriotic biography with all sorts of ghost written quotes. Form a group and get him nominated on any ticket.Saturate 1000 neighbourhoods with whispering campaigns about the popular candidate's affairs with local prostitutes and put out 1 million pictures of Joe on lamp posts everywhere. Make sure he looks directly, seriously and thoughtfully at the camera. Volunteers spread out a month before the election to circulate talk about Joe. Good stuff. Brilliant, solutions for the economy, backs the particular sect of the respondent to the hilt, in favour/not in favour of illegal immigration etc.. Fake a set of speeches by an actor and circulate the tapes. At the election, get volunteers to register at perhaps 20 polling stations in close ridings and vote as often as possible. Max cost of campaign is 3 million.

At least he will split the vote seriously enough to unseat the popular candidate. What you will find is one candidate is as good as another. It is the party and political machinery that counts. Tammany Hall generally runs the gov't by pistol and payola. But at least your candidate does not owe anything to foreign terrorists once he is elected.

Logon & account set-up Required:

note worthy quote:
(in part)
"Faisal believed that commodities and industrials would do well, and he was right. His fund currently is chock full of precious metal and mining stocks, which he believed had a healthy demand to supply. He started out with APEX Silver Mines (SIL) and soon after found the big trend towards gold. Although not a gold bug Faisal remarked, "In the last 100 years, every 20 years gold prices shift from bear to bull." Based on his observations the trend will have lasting power, but will eventually reverse itself. He's not expecting phenomenal gains, but instead steady gains every year.

Explaining his reasoning to me Faisal commented that one reason why gold prices were down was because "banks were buying and mining companies were selling the gold even before they got it out of the ground. But they [banks] aren't getting any interest on their investment so they look elsewhere to invest their money." According to Faisal, the rise in gold isn't over yet, not for a while at least."
