Who Needs The Young
(Written by Jim Steinam)
Who needs the young?
The revelation of their faces and their hair
When all we have are withered traces of the faces we once were
And suffocation in the dirty, fatal air
Who needs the young bodies floating in the sun?
Who needs the young?
The celebration of the races that they've have won
The sado-masochistic things they've never done
Disgusting
And all the places that we never will have gone
Who needs the young bodies floating in the sun?
Who needs the young?
My eyes just aren't what they were
My eyes just aren't what they were
My eyes just aren't what they were
Is there anyone left who can see?
Blind him!
My lips just aren't what they were
My lips just aren't what they were
My lips just aren't what they were
Is there anyone left who can kiss?
Spit on him!
My mind just isn't what it was
My mind just isn't what it was
My mind just isn't what it was
Is there anyone left who can dream?
Wake him!
My legs just aren't what they were
My legs just aren't what they were
My legs just aren't what they were
Is there anyone left who can dance?
Cripple him!
My voice just isn't what it was
My voice just isn't what it was
My voice just isn't what it was
Is there anyone left who can sing?
Silence him!
My sex just isn't what is was
My sex just isn't what is was
My sex just isn't what is was
Is there anyone left who can fuck?
Screw them!
Who needs the young?
The perfect star of flesh that never has to cry
Who needs the filthy moaning passed from thigh to thigh?
Who needs the self-appointed prophets waving banners in the bloodshot sky
Who needs the young when we're spending all the rest of our wonderful lives learning to die!

Steel And Stone from the album The Sun Also Burns, released Sept. 2021

Lyrics:
Don't think with your emotions
Stop apologizing for something said in a dream
I am as thankful for the blue skies above my head
As I am for the side-walk beneath my feet
And I'm not ashamed to say
Someday I'd like to sign my name in your ashes
In this arrid wilderness of steel and stone
I wander through the crowd alone
Cold rage in my bones
I have always the answers now
It's just the questions that remain unknown
In this arrid wilderness of steel and stone
Don't think with your emotions
Stop apologizing when things just aren't what they seem.

Assorted clips from Canada Day 2012, welcome celebration for the 2012 On-To-Ottawa Commemorative Trekkers, Stop Harper Day, and the Occupy Regina History For Hippies Tour. All in one event, 'cause we know how to multi-task. Started Vic park, past City Hall, then the Royal Sask. Museum, then Speakers Corner, then Sask. Legislature. Great day all around. For the record, the 'Stop Harper' signs and the few words on that subject are enough, everyone knows what's wrong with Harper, especially the people attending this event, they don't need to be told, so the signs conveyed that message to the public passer-by people while we discussed more pleasant subjects.

Ezra Levant from Sunnews Network did a piece on the Occupy Regina camp, centered on me and my candidacy in a rural riding for the Green Party.
Between my agreeing to be a Green Party candidate and the creation of the Occupy Regina camp, the Green Party had slid from viable third party with a likelihood of winning seats to a side joke centered on a leadership contender who had recently run through downtown naked and attacked the mayor of Regina, and even though he had no chance of winning the leadership to begin with, media made it sound like he was already leader.
I did the interview with the intent of focusing on Occupy's central message about the global financial system, and we discussed that in 2 other interviews that never got used, but in the one that was aired, he focused on the election and referred to me as the representative of the Green Party, without ever attempting to interview party leader Victor Lau.

Despite temperatures around minus 18 with windchill, around 100 people gathered April 6, 2018 at Regina Police Services Headquarters for the protest against police raids targetting cannabis dispensaries.
From the event description: "Many police departments across Canada have worked with Cannabis professionals to develop a strategy to help patients in the time leading up to legalization. Ours has not even talked with us.
Our rights as patients are being pushed aside; government is not addressing our needs and very limited access for extracts, edibles, creams, suppositories and other products.
Our city has some of the worst crime and drug/ alcohol rates in Canada. We need our city officials to address the real problems in our city."
