..and yet nobody in the comments of the video gets it.

Lyrics below, just in case.

 

 

 

 

 

Across a painted desert lies a train of vagabonds
All that's left of what we were, it's what we have become
Once our empires glorious but now the empire's gone
The dead gave us the time to live and now our time is done
Now we are victorious, we've become our slaves
A land of hope and glory, building graveyards for the brave
Have you seen the writing on the wall?
Have you seen that writing?
Can you see the riders on the storm?
Can you see them riding?
Can you see them riding?
Holding on to fury, is that all we ever know?
Ignorance our judge and jury all we've got to show
From Hollywood to Babylon, holy war to kingdom come
On a trail of dust and ashes, when the burning sky is done
A tide of change is coming and that is what you fear
The earthquake is a coming, but you don't want to hear
You're just too blind to see
Have you seen the writing on the wall?
Have you seen that writing?
Can you see the riders on the storm?
Can you see them riding?
Can you see them riding, riding next to you?
Have you seen the writing on the wall?
Have you seen that writing?
Can you see the riders on the storm?
Can you see them riding?
Have you seen the writing on the wall?
Have you seen that writing?
Can you see the riders on the storm?
Can you see them riding?
Can you see them riding, riding next to you?

Never been into "Heavy Metal", but that's pretty Profound. 

Closest I got to "metal" was Ina Goda Davida...the Iron Butterfly. WAY before your time.  We were still talkin "Love" **** back then...not the end of the world.

In a gadda da vida, honey
Don't you know that I'm lovin' you
In a gadda da vida, baby
Don't you know that I'll always be true
Oh, won't you come with me
And take my hand
Oh, won't you come with me
And walk this land
Please take my hand
In a gadda da vida, honey
Don't you know that I'm lovin' you
In a gadda da vida, baby
Don't you know that I'll always be true
Oh, won't you come with me
And take my hand
Oh, won't you come with me
And walk this land
Please take my hand

Off-topic, but have you installed Debian 11 on anything yet? I just set it up in a virtual container on my MacBook. So far, so good. I've been using Debian, or a Debian distro for more than two decades now.

A concerted effort all across the board to shut down the citizens.

TSA has been working fine to inhibit travel by commercial air. They would like to add it to Amtrak and long distance commercial bus routes.

Force electric vehicles in place of internal combustion on the people. This will greatly reduce citizens’ ability to travel on their on. Long recharge times, shorter radius.

Put mileage meters in all vehicles so mileage tax can supplement or replace fuel tax. As byproduct can know everywhere each vehicle has gone. Use real time GPS tracking as some commercial carriers already do for even more control.

”Vaccine” passports required for ever increasing list of activities - but not for voting or rioting. Killing off small businesses may in fact be a feature not a bug

Shut down churches. People don’t need to meet and talk without oversight.

Suppose I could list more…

Debian is a version of the Linux operating system. A major version release happened yesterday and I've been playing around with it. A Debian-based operating system powers the server this site resides on. I've used Debian and Uubuntu (Which is Debian-based) as the operating systems on my servers since I originally started Glock Talk.

I had Debian on a web server a long time ago, but never any lunix / unix on a client. I use too many programs that only run on Windows (properly).

I know Ubuntu, and have...sometimes, when I was younger...contimplated trying Linux.  Back when I was just ******* sick of Microsoft and their ****.  Problem was...back then, I was a BIG Gamer, and Linux just didn't support the games I was playing...let alone Anything Microsoft.

Jeez,  they've been trying to get them into NYC subways, for a long while now.
