M2RB: Styx
Keeping my mind on a better life
Where happiness is only a heartbeat away
Paradise, can it be all I heard it was
I close my eyes and maybe I'm already there
I'll take those long nights, impossible odds
Keeping my back to the wall
All that be just what I am
Well, I'm gonna be a blue collar man
You don't understand
I'll take those long nights, impossible odds
Keeping my eye to the keyhole
If it takes all that be just who I am
Well I vow to be a blue collar, gotta be a blue collar,
Gonna be a Blue collar man.
Believe it.

'Those, who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.'
- Benjamin Franklin
By Jill Colvin
In the wake of the Boston Marathon bombings, Mayor Michael Bloomberg
said Monday the country’s interpretation of the Constitution will “have
to change” to allow for greater security to stave off future attacks.
“The people who are worried about privacy have a legitimate worry,”
Mr. Bloomberg said during a press conference in Midtown. “But we live in
a complex word where you’re going to have to have a level of security
greater than you did back in the olden days, if you will. And our laws
and our interpretation of the Constitution, I think, have to change.”
Mr. Bloomberg, who has come under fire
for the N.Y.P.D.’s monitoring of Muslim communities and other aggressive
tactics, said the rest of the country needs to learn from the attacks.
“Look, we live in a very dangerous world. We know there are people
who want to take away our freedoms. New Yorkers probably know that as
much if not more than anybody else after the terrible tragedy of 9/11,”
he said.
“We have to understand that in the world going forward, we’re going
to have more cameras and that kind of stuff. That’s good in some sense,
but it’s different from what we are used to,” he said.
The mayor pointed to the gun debate and noted the courts have allowed
for increasingly stringent regulations in response to ever-more
powerful weapons.
“Clearly the Supreme Court has recognized that you have to have
different interpretations of the Second Amendment and what it applies to
and reasonable gun laws … Here we’re going to to have to live with
reasonable levels of security,” he said, pointing to the use of
magnetometers to catch weapons in city schools.
“It really says something bad about us that we have to do it. But our
obligation first and foremost is to keep our kids safe in the schools;
first and foremost, to keep you safe if you go to a sporting event;
first and foremost is to keep you safe if you walk down the streets or
go into our parks,” he said. “We cannot let the terrorists put us in a
situation where we can’t do those things. And the ways to do that is to
provide what we think is an appropriate level of protection.”
Still, Mr. Bloomberg argued the attacks shouldn’t be used as an excuse to persecute certain religions or groups.
“What we cant do is let the protection get in the way of us enjoying
our freedoms,” he said. “You still want to let people practice their
religion, no matter what that religion is. And I think one of the great
dangers here is going and categorizing anybody from one religion as a
terrorist. That’s not true … That would let the terrorists win. That’s
what they want us to do.”

'Blue Collar Man' - Styx
Give me a job, give me security
Give me a chance to survive
I'm just a poor soul in the unemployment line
My God, I'm hardly alive
My mother and father, my wife and my friends
I see them laugh in my face
But I've got the power, and I've got the will
I'm not a charity case
I'll take those long nights, impossible odds
Keeping my eye to the keyhole
If it takes all that to be just what I am
Well, I'm gonna be a blue collar man
Make me an offer that I can't refuse
Make me respectable, man
This is my last time in the unemployment line
So like it or not I'll take those
Long nights, impossible odds
Keeping my back to the wall
If it takes all that to be just what I am
Well, I'm gonna be a blue collar man
Keeping my mind on a better life
Where happiness is only a heartbeat away
Paradise, can it be all I heard it was
I close my eyes and maybe I'm already there
I'll take those long nights, impossible odds
Keeping my back to the wall
All that be just what I am
Well, I'm gonna be a blue collar man
You don't understand
I'll take those long nights, impossible odds
Keeping my eye to the keyhole
If it takes all that be just who I am
Well I vow to be a blue collar, gotta be a blue collar,
Gonna be a Blue collar man.
Believe it.
