The AGM consisted of the passing of the wtJNBC constitution and elections for theexecutivecommity. Thecommityhas 12 seats, three of which were filled by members of the Fraser Valley chapter: DeannaReder, Lori MacIntosh, andOrlaPetersonJr. (who is the first male to be elected to this commity).

Approximately (i()peopleattended the conference on Saturday October 14.

The conference also offered various seminars including: Missionary Women and the North, Tree Planters and Team Players, FraserValley Lesbian Oral History and the constructions of identity, Dating Rituals of the White Middle Class in the 1950's, and Women as Military Wives in the 1950's.

Also included was a panel discussion revolving around How to promote Women's History in the Community.

UCFV supplied both moral and financial support, including a projector and large screen for the film festival held in Clayburn Village on October 11.

This was the first Women's History film festival in this area. It consisted of three films and an audio tape.

Firstly was the film ''Ten Dollars or

Nothing" covering women during the 1930' s.

Secondly was "Hands of History" which highlights the work and approach of four contemporary Aboriginal women artists.

"Hogan's Alley" was the third film which recorded the history of Vancouver's black community between 1930 and 1960.

Fmally the excerpt from the audio tape "Gloria's Clrristmas" by Gloria Morgan (who attended the conference) was played.

She encouraged other women to document or record their own stories.

UCFV supplied both moral and financial support, including a projector and large screen for the film festival held in Clayburn Village on October 11th.

The WHNFVhas startedotherprojects including Take Back the Night Walks, a

remembrance of the Montreal Massacre, as well as the Women's History week in October.

In an interview with WHNFV Treasurer and Reporter Sandra Seekins she explained a lot about the group. Seekins feels that they have very diverse members as well as diverse activities.

It is the hope of WHNFV that their membership becomes large enough for Mission, Abbotsford, and Chilliwack to have separate groups stem from it.

Seekins explained that the group has "a lot of plans and a lot of hopes." These include working with community groups, such as museums.

WHNFV has open membership and is always looking for members to help their cause.

UCFVCourseTrainsStudentsToThinkSmall Certificate programs offered for people who want to create their own business.

Small is beautiful. This is the key to business success in the future according to Alan Cadwell, director ofB usiness Development and Training at the University College of the Fraser Valley.

With huge changes in technology and the globalization of markets, Cadwell sees immense shifts in the way we live and work in the future. One of the major shifts will be in the kind of work people do.

"I honestly believe that jobs as we know them in today's workplace won't exist," says Cadwell. "People with jobs account for 70% of the work force now; in the future there may be only 25 to 30% who have jobs while 70% will be part-time, contractual, or self-employed."

To prepare for these changes, UCFV has created a business Start-Up and Business Skills certificate program aimed at people who want to create their own business.

"The overriding market trend for the last 14 years has been toward self-employment." adds Cadwell. "From 1979 to 1993, self-employment increased by 190%."

Cadwell points out that the UCFV course provides entrepreneurs with the kind of skills they will need to make their ideas fly. Students learn how to make solid business plans, where to find financing, how to marlcettheir businesses, how to communicate effectively, how to advertise, and much more. They also quickly learn if they have the personal qualities needed for self-employment. Classes are taught by six leading experts in the business world.

Graduates of the program's pilot year are already ,roving that small, specialized businesses with a home base in the Fraser Valley can attract global customers.

Bob Memickle, a former shake packer laid off when his mill eliminated his shift, has successfully turned a hobby into a north American wide business. As a seven-time world record holder in fast-draw competitions, Memickle discovered the only way to get a high-quality gun holster that would do what he wanted it to do was to make it himself.

"Taking the course was the smartest thing I've ever done," says Memickle. "I had been making holsters for my friend and to use myself in competitions but I had no idea how to market my product - or myself.

Since graduating from UCFV Business Start-up program a year ago, Memickle has built a successful small business marketing his custom built holsters all over North America. His .buyers include police departments, "fast draw" competitors, Old west Societies and the film industry.

Another graduate of the program, Rod Penner of Bounders Sports in Cedar Park Place, filled a market niche

UCFV Soccer Teams Head For Playoffs

Men's and women's soccer looking good as season rolls to an end.

The UCFV ~ascades women's soccer team, ranked fifth nationally, defeated 8th ranked Langara College 2-1 Saturday at Bateman Park in Abbotsford. The victory assures the UCFV women of finishing no lower than third place in their BCCAA conference table, and guarantees them a playoff birth.

Their solid effort pushed their conference record to five wins and one loss.

On the men's side, undefeated, conference leading and ranked second in Canada, the UCFV men struggled to a 0-0 tie with the 8th ranked Langara men.

The Cascade men's record now stands at five wins and a tie in conference play and 10-3-2 overall.

The UCFV women started strong butLangaraopened the scoring at seven minutes when their first shot found its way through a crowded goal area and past Cascade keeper Rose Phillip-Stewart.

Mid-way through the first half UCFV answered when Cascade back JoAnn Radcliffe made a marvelous run, beating two defenders down the left side and played the ball to Bianca Wilkinson in the left corner. Wilkinson's fine cross to the near post was finished perfectly by Lisa Broad, and the Cascade women were even on the score board and back in control of the game.

Donna Perry, suffering badly with'a virus, came off the UCFV bench in the second half to win the ball and play a perfect cross to Andrea Tarling's head at the far post Tarling finished with confidence about 20 minutes from the end and the victory belonged to UCFV. The UCFV men worked hard but the Langara pressure on the defense and UCFV' s propensity to make bad passes, made for a game that frustrated both teams.

The Cascades' only good chances to score came in

the first half when Jamie Dopson on a shot from 35 yards out, Mike Hofer on a solid header,andDylan Olson on a bouncing shot across the face of the goal from 20 yards out, all forced the Langara Keeper to make big saves.

Brad Peterson bad an outstanding day in mid-field for UCFV, as did Raj Randhawa who was assigned to mark Langara star Claudio Bartolomeo.

Butforthesecondconsecutivegame,itwasCascade KeeperCory Breure who salvaged the point for UCFV being called upon to make two good saves in the second half, and one on a point from 12 yardsinthe .6 9 t h minute.

T h e UC F women• s ranked second Canadarespectively going into their weekend road trip to Kamloops, lost 4-0 and 1-0 to the University College of the Cariboo men's and women's sides.

The women's game saw two teams pitted to face each other in the playoffs in two weeks regardless of the game's outcome, and neither team looked to show everything they had.

And while the UCFV women carried much of the play, the UCC women took the victory when they managed to scramble in a corner kick in the second half for the games only goal.

The Cascade women finish the conference season with a five win and two loss record.

They play an exhibition game against Trinity Western University in Langley on Saturday in preparation for their semi-final playoff match against the UCC women on November 3rd at UBC. The UCFV men continue to lead the men's table, but are clearly in the midst of a late season slide, having tied Langara College and losing to UCC, and must look to get their game back together in time to play Douglas College next Sunday in New Westminister in their final regular season contest which likely will determine first place in their conference and the number one seed in the playoffs.

The UCC men, 2-2-2 going into the game, need a victory desperately to keep their flickering playoff hopes alive, and they played like it.

They broke open an even game of few opportunities at 20 minutes when the Cariboo striker found himself and the ball behind the UCFV defense and chipped over Cascade keeper Cory Breure to give a 1-0 lead. UCFV began to dominate and might well have pulled even by half-time, but their pressure on the UCC penalty area produced much excitement but no goals.

The second half turned into a comedy of injuries and errors. The usually solid UCFV back line twice misplayed clearances or tackles which led to goals that keeper Breure bad no chance to save.

UCFV sweeper Kyle Williams was taken to hospital with a gash in his forehead; brother Aaron left the game with his second yellow card; Mike Hofer, Jamie Dopson and Mike Greenway all had to be replaced because of minor leg injuries. UCC added insult to injury with a fourth goal and kept their playoff hopes alive.

Rehmanwas also the team top scorer and she deserves the tip'o' the cap forherconstantheadsupplay(which she incidentally accented with a tipin that was all that and then some).

Gillian Kirk showed great talent as a rookie with her skillz.

She shot 3's, passed and stole like no other. She also incidentally lost a shoe in the middle of the game. But the key thing with the women's team is that they all got game and there isn't one of them that can't school the other team.

Overall, I was once more impressed by the women• s performance once they started flowing. They move the ball and always insure an open outlet whether it's to the posts or guards. By the middle of the second half they had Camousen on the ropes for good.

Coach Chambers said "We got behind the eight ball in the first half but got rid of whatever put us there inthesecond,"Fmalscorewa<.59-35.

After the men's pre-game dunk show, complete with new warm-upsuitsanduni's(theseguys dunk in style), the men were ready to tear it up. Although Camousen looked like chumps with bad hair they kept up to the Cascades for quite awhile.

he deserves creditfor a good game.

Sean Coulter and Matt Sheutz deserve full credit for their battles in the paint. And as always, "Mr. Moxy" Cavanaugh was out to talk some junk which resulted in some Camousen fool shoving him. Mr. Moxy responded with a smile as the man was given a foul Gust nasty).

And win us over again he did; he won us back as skillfully as he had alienated us, When Guillermo read the character "Verdecchia" from the scene Santiago in FronterasAmericanashe became a pulsating item of energy that burst around us bringing the scene vividly to life.

Hisaudiencefeltasiftheywere with him in the hotel room witnessing the terrible death of "a man in a suit."

As Guillermo's energy soared we soared with him.

He left us in no doubt as to his amazing talents.

Guillermo was probably at his funniest when he read from his latest work in progress. This play discusses a rather dysfunctional family caught up in the race to get-rich-quick in a rapidly· expanding society. Some members of the family believe, erroneously, that this can be accomplished without consequences.

.ore serious note

After reading from two plays which he has written (Fronteras Americanas and The Noam Chomsky Lectures), and from one which is still in the process of being written, Guillermo Verdecchia took the time to talk to some of the students and sign their books.

Monique Marchant Photo

The portrayal was hysterically funny and I, and several other students had to wipe tears from our eyes we laughed so hard.

It is difficult to estimate the benefit to students of a performance such as this: but I know it is enormous.

I will never again read one of Vedecchia' splays without hearing his voice and feeling his energy.

This experience has also changed, forever, the way I will hear scripts in my head when I read them. It was indeed a wonderful couple of

hours.

These artists, however, do not simply turn up on spec to entertain a class; a lot of work and effort goes into selecting, inviting, and organizing someone for such a performance.

On behalf of the English 361 students an other students and faculty that dropped in, I would like to thank Virginia Cooke for taking on the task for inviting such an exciting playwright and actor to UCFV. Because artists, such as Guillermo, make their living form

performing, it is necessary that an Honorarium be paid the them. Our sincere thanks must go to the English department for willingly donating a large part of the Honoraria and also to the Dan of Arts for making up the balance.

Without the co-operation of everyone involved we would have been denied a truly delightful experience and all our lives would be just a little less rich.

To Guillermo Verdecchia I would like to say, adios, but please come back soon. J can't wait to hear the end of that play in progress!

Thanks,ButNoThanks Before I start my whining and complaining I would like to thank a few individuals who are continuously here for the Cascade, they include: Orla Peterson, Len Catling, Nolan Webb, CJSA, BASA, Terry Lynn-Stone, Chris Clarke, Paul Becker, Scott Fast, and all other people who I have forgotten - thank you very much. I would also like to give the others in the editorial staff a pat on the back, Caroline and Monique, they both work damn hard on producing the Cascade and the only-reward is usually an irate person bitching in their face about some stupid crap. This leads me to what I want to bitch about, apathy.

It seemed to be the Canadian thing to do but recently with the Quebec referendum and Prime Minister Chretien yelling patriotism there seems to be a turn for the better.

Hopefully this patriotic uproar continues and the Molson Canadian commercials will have ev~ryone screaming I AM! Unfortunately here at the UCFVthere is no referendum to cause such an up heave.

There are only people who like to sit at home on their couches and scream real loud about how to do things the right way. Unfortunately they seem to be glued to their couches.

We at the Cascade, and I am sure across the hall at the SUS office, see people coming continuously through our door saying do this do that, but when confronted with the option to participate all they do is stay on their couches.

These people should learn that apathy breeds ignorance! · We do not mind critiscm, but please follow it up with some idea of how to render the problem, do not just point your fat fingers (swollen from the T.V. remote) at us and scream your ignorance at us.

On that note I guess I should thank and congratulate the SUS for not being as apathetic as the majority in the school~ although your means may be ragged your intention is good, thank you for what you are trying to accomplish.

UCFV Board Acts As One, Not As Individuals

.11\ltilll!iif ~l!ll!illl . ijµttj§r(~l §r9t9HP]

>

Dear-Ed: I was dishearted by the editorial on page 8 of the October 3rd issue of The Cascade because of its criticism of an individual board member. Wendy Lee is a very hard-working member of the UCFV Board and a long time supporter of the university college .

Our decisions reflect the collective judgment of the board-community members, faculty and staff members, and student members. We are prepared to take our "lumps" when students or others think we have acted unwisely or that we have made bad decisions, but we do so as a Board and not as individuals.

One of the vital functions of a campus newspaper is to speak out on issues of direct issues to students.

But to single out an individual board member is not, in my view, a very constructive thing to do. That is a matter of editorial policy that you and your fellow editors will have to grapple with as you define and defend student interests.

This year at UCFV shows every sign of being a roller-coaster ride-with great "highs" and equally great '1ows". The "highs" are epitomized by the opening of the new multi-purpose facility at Chilliwack (including the new Theatre); by the opening of the new Learning Centre and Library on the Abbotsford campus and by the announcement of Phase Ill approval for the classroom block; and by the anticipation of opening the

Career As A Human Spell Check Dear Ed: It app~ars that there are a few who believe that grammar is of more "consequence" then intellect. Mr. Pratt if you believe that proper spelling is as important as raw talent then please feel free to persue your career as a human spell check. So until you have your doctorate of grammar please try to see past typo's to the unindoctrenated truth which Len Calling has expounded in his recent article. It is always important when criticizing to have at least a slight notion of the context and meaning before offering your muse.

Thank-you for your insignificant role as UCFV s · paper watch dog.

-Nathaniel Doggovich II

Mission Joint Project campus in September of 1996.

And, by the formulation of a new 5-year programme profile that is now on the UCC agenda-a plan that will shape our educational development fort he foreseeable future.

The "lows" are about to descend upon us! The Minister has directed that we (along with every other college and institute in the Province) prepare a series of scenarios for possible budget cuts, ranging from 2% rollback to one of 10%. Charting a reasonable course of action through the maze created by budget adjustments of that magnitude will require the wisdom, goodwill,and collaborative effort of all segments of the UCFV community-the Board, the Administration, the Faculty and Staff, and most of all, the Student Body.

Hopefully The Cascade will play a constructive role in that process.

-Sincerely, Dr. Noel A. Hall, Chair, UCFV Board of Governors. p.s. For the record, Board members representing the community do not havepreferred or reserved parking, as the Editorial implies. What we have are temporary parking permits that allow us to park in designated employee parking areas only.

AcademiaDismissedWith a Wave of the Hand Dear·Ed: In-the last issue-of The Cascade the visit of the education minister Dan Miller was reported in a large two page spread. There were several mentions throughout the article of how Mr. Miller had disagreed with my speech at the opening of the learning center.

Unfortunately, the content of my speech which raised the ire of the minister, was never reported. The only excerpt given did not reflect my message and left the inquisitive reader wondering just what had been said.

I find it,particularly telling that our education minister doesn't even have 'education' in his title. He is the minister of Skills, Training, and Labor. This bias and influence can be seen in all aspects of education, not only in post secondary education but also at the high school level where there is a distinct move towards technical education at the expanse of traditional or academic

education.

When I-met-Dan MiUerfor coffee on the morning of October 6th, I saw, and heard, him dismiss academia with the wave of his hand. Mi.lier stated that he had not completed an academic or University course and yet claimed that he had picked up critical thinking skills along the way. As a listener I have my doubts! He appeared to have difficulty undrstanding the need for academia at all. Such a view flies in the face of the mission statement of UCFV which recognizes the diverse needs and requirements of all its students. UCFV has a policy to provide education for the needs of trades and academic students alike, not educating one at the expense of the other. It is not difficult to see how Dan Miller and I would have a different perspective of education.

The first half of my speech was dedicated to thanking the minister for the announcement of a $1 O million

expansion at UCFV and to discuss the positive effect upon the students at UCFV of the new learning center. Reproduced here is the ·rest of my speech which was very well received by all but Dan Miller.

It is ve,y satisfying to me as a student to see the way the Jibra,y has expanded since the move into the learning center.

For wonderful technological advances that have been made here the increase in the amount of information available is phenomenal.

Perhaps the only thing missing at this center is a name. However for a cool $1,000,000.00 you could name it almost anything that you wish.

The idea of a learning center is, I believe, vital to the concept of process as a whole and the success of UCFV cannot and must not, be measured by students in and students out. Education is not a commodity and students must

not be dealt like dollars. The personal development and growth that each student experiencesand achieves during the pursuit of education, academic or otherwise, is more valuable than any certificate diploma or degree alone that is envisioned as preparation for a particular job market. Adults make, on average, five major career changes during their working life, no single skill or degree can prepare them for eve,y change. However, the profound value of learning to think critically allows the student to become actively involved in shaping their own future and the future of their communities. The student who grows in this manner during the process of achieving an education gains not just knowledge but wisdom and that wisdom is more valuable than any other attribute.

The learning center is the heart of this process.

-Terry-Lynn Stone

Listened to: Visible Attackon the Arts Department Students Improvement in Security

Dear Ed: What's the deal with the freedom of speech double standard that exists at UCFV, the bastion of political correctness? My confusion regards some of the crap that hangs near the bookstore that apparently passes as "art."

It seems "artists" can hang refuse such as the Starbucks design with the words "ART FAG" scrawled across it, yet if anyone writing in this paper referred to homosexuality in a derogatory manner,

they could possibly· be lynched by a gang of feminists for being Buzz and Skeeter sympathizers.

This is not to say I advocate further suppression at our fine institution; however, a level playing field must exist.

Either let B&S write without apologies, or censor the waste that originates from the fine arts department.

What is the intention oftheauthorofthepainting in question? Does he or she feel that the Starbucks logo is inferior because it

is a vehicle for capitalists to make money? Does he or she feel that only homosexuals patronize, or ought to patronize, Starbucks? Did he or she paint this simply to get a reaction? Or was it created just for the hell of it? Why is it not signed? I have enough backbone to sign my article, how come you do not publicly claim ownership for your work?

Furthermore, why does this garbage have to hang in the hall that leads to the college daycare? How

would you explain your septic work to a care free child who asks, "mummy, what does this mean?"

I urge thee "artist" to submit a written defense to this paper regarding the above queries.

I am anxious to read it. ''Violins and tambourines, this is what we think they mean.

It's hard to say, it's sad but true, I'm kinda dumb and so are you." -by The Tragically Hip (Thanks Scott) -Keith Brandsma

on the Chilliwck Campus Dear Ed: Thank you to security on the Chilliwack campus for their immediate response to the concerns expressed in an article printed in The CASCADE last issue.

It is apparent that they took our concerns seriously. They are very visible now, they communicate with student concerning safety and I know one young gentleman who stays over his time without pay in order to make sure female students are escorted to their , vehicles. Such co-operation is appreciated. Again thank you to security.

STUDENT GROUP MESSAGES===~== What I See Happening. . . BASA: Who They Are, STUDENTUNION

By Paul Becker What is it in our nature that makes us only interested in pointing out the negative in something? There are lots of things wrong in the world, no doubt, but I honestly think that we miss some of the better things in our plight to find everything wrong.

As an example, the much debated budget......it' s quite problematic at best and before it or any other proposed budget is passed I'm sure it will be worked out to satisfy most everyone. I'll fill in the rest of the body if they wish to know what's going on. We have a budget that we plan to present(fromwhatI know). ltisn'tacceptable to most of the students I have talked to.

There is to be a special general meeting regarding the budget. By the end of this meeting I think there will be some sort of agreed upon budget. At least that is what myself and other reps are hoping for. In the end, I have faith in you the student body, to state your opinions on your concern with the budget. '~ "' I was really encouraged to see such a large turnout at the AGM. I wasn't too happy that a sort of smoke show would occur and I apologize to the students present (with the exception of one chap who had to make a little side comment to be cool). But you know what? At least the Student Union

Executive is trying to get something going.

I know there are lots of misgivings about certain parts of the budget and it isn't as accurate as most would like but it is astart.

Now that we have started somewhere and we have you students talking and arguing and questioning we will make this union what it was meant to be - a strong representative of the students.

This conflict that is ensuing is welcomed by myself and I appreciate all the time other non-S.U.S. students have been putting in to combatour budget. You students areinsuringthata welljustified and organized budget is the result of this little battle. Again thank-you.

One might point out that maybe we should be in better touch with things around the school. Allow me to retort (in Jules Winfield style) "We're trying ...real hard."

You can help us if only you truly want to.

I took this job (like other reps) because I wanted to help the students. I have no secret agenda and there is no secret plan to dupe the student body. There is a plan to increase fees and that is why you should be questionning our motives. Plain and simple.

If you question our motives, ask us why. If you know our motives and they aren't valid suggest another way. If you don't understand somethingask us. I eagerly await your comments and queries. Enjoy yourselves in this strange world. Look for the good as well as the bad.

and what Is In Store BUSINESSBRIEFS

By Tage -Cawley

This space will be used by the Business Administration Student's Association (BASA) in each issue of The CASCADE, to let everyone know what we've been up to. Each issue, a different member from our council will be writing an article.

In order to know what we do, first let me tell you who we are: Tage Cawley, President Richard Woods, Vice-President Dean Erikson, Treasurer Ulla Vicktor, Secretary Debbie Lepore, Degree Rep Miriam Valois, Degree Rep Bianka Hluskova, Degree Rep Tyson Nichols, Degree Rep Dave Munro, Diploma Rep DJ Sandhu, Faculty Advisor Look for our guest speakers in mid to late November from Trinity Holdings (NA) Ltd. The guests will talk about the job market, international relations, and skills employers will be

looking for upon graduation.

BASA will also be hosting a movie night (Quenten Tarenteno theme?) on Friday November 17 in the theatre on Abby campus. Look for a beverage garden to be open.

These events are open to the entire student body.

For the Business Students, we are having a pub night on Wednesday December 20th to celebrate the end of another term. Watch for further details in upcoming editions of The CASCADE. If you are interested in attending one of our meetings, please feel free to drop by on either the first or third Thursdays of every month.

Our meetings are held in Room B243 at 1 p.m.

You can use this time to bring up any issues or activitie,s you wish us to tackle, or just to voice an opinion.

BASA would also like to take the time to thank Monique, Caroline, and Pete at The CASCADE for the space in the paper (so we have a chance to reach the student body).

Don't forget to look for us in upcoming issues of The CASCADE.

And The Jester Blared The ineans of enlightellltlent through the inicrophone

By Len Catling Consumer Warning: Not another social crack baby of the OJ. Simpson trial so don't even think it!

Once upon a time in a land called Strungoutopia lived a king. He was a king to his throne, he was a slave to his habit. At first nobody noticed. The random nosebleeds were blamed upon the, "smell of disobedience which inflicts my kingdom" according to his Majesty.

Disobedience would not be tolerated and paved the courtyard of the castle red before it was snuffed out.

You see, being a politician the king was of course full of lines, verbal variety along with hand made. The hand made lines could tum him into a "deranged creature of paranoia!" as the town blacksmith scream!d while being flogged.

In time the royal treasuries became low as the king began paying local merchants large sums of money. In return they would bring Coca plants, across the Great Ocean, from The Land of the Easily Exploited. Seeing the financial burden he was bringing upon the kingdom the king decided to convert a barley plantation to grow his precious Coca leaves.

Thiscausedgreatunrestin the kingdom whosawtheireconomyshrivelingtoitsdemise without the exportation and sale of the barley.

The ensuing litigation dragged on for months .. The jury, unable to reach a verdict, became hung and then were hung for "disobedience".

The case was reopened and once again the town became caught up in the debate.

Although the trial seemed like an exercise in repetition , there was one minor change. The barley lobbyists were placed in dilemma when their head litigator was forced to flee the kingdom The king had reportedly found a moonshine brewery in her basement. Her dwelling was cursed and pronounced "an outlet of witchcraft". Rather than keep her ale and be stoned she decided to get stoned and fly. She was never heard from again.

Just when it appeared the barley had rotted onto the scene flowed a traveling Jester with a knack for high profile cases. He was a nomad carrying nothing but morals and a magic stick of noise he called a microphone. His lyrics stemmed from flavour, his defense from humanity.

"Hey Mr.Monarch, I understandyour approach, See power, Seize power by its grabbable throat, Youfortify the walls, You build a moat, Maintainyourdomainwithparanoid quotes."

Fin al

king

became

And the Jester blared:

Although the Jester was executed shortly after the trial, a statement had been heard. Power fears rap. Rap is synonymous with guns, drugs, sex and money in the eyes of the elite but this isn't what they fear. They fear the lyrical because when done correctly it can be sharp and straight to the issue. Issues which exposethem. Policy makers will never realize that they can'tunderstandsomething they can't hear. Hip-Hop severs power. Hip-Hop devours power. Where will they turn when they confirm something I've known all along? You can't scandal an executioner of the social vandals.

Check your mother*** *ing morals.

Stereotyping is no means of analyzing reality.

Peace, until the next explosion.
