You Say You Want a Revolution?

Thanks to Cassius for the great idea!

"You say you want a revolution

Well, you know

We all want to change the world

You tell me that it's evolution

Well, you know

We all want to change the world

But when you talk about destruction

Don't you know that you can count me out (in)

Don't you know it's gonna be

All right?

Don't you know it's gonna be (all right)

Don't you know it's gonna be (all right)

You say you got a real solution

Well, you know

We'd all love to see the plan

You ask me for a contribution

Well, you know

We're all doing what we can

But if you want money for people with minds that hate

All I can tell you is brother you have to wait

Don't you know it's gonna be (all right)

Don't you know it's gonna be (all right)

Don't you know it's gonna be (all right)

You say you'll change the constitution

Well, you know

We'd all love to change your head

You tell me it's the institution

Well, you know

You better free your mind instead

But if you go carrying pictures of Chairman Mao

You ain't going to make it with anyone anyhow

Don't you know it's gonna be (all right)

Don't you know it's gonna be (all right)

Don't you know it's gonna be (all right)

All, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all right

All right, all right, all right, all right, all right"

In regard to Nate's "Chepicurus" Icons and images: RE: Profile Picture Icons

I feel like I should mention that I spoke to Nate about these before he released this design because of my concern to steer clear of potential issues with our "no politics" policy. Che Guevera is certainly a very polarizing figure, but it seems to me that in today's world he's mutated into a very general symbol of "a revolutionary" without much general association with exactly who he was or who he was fighting or much of anything about his politics. Instead, this particular image with that iconic hat is widely recognized as a general symbol of revolutionary spirit without - in my view - much of any real detail about how the association arose.

I told Nate also that in my view the beneficial allusion to draw was the general "revolutionary" or "anti-establishment spirit of Epicurus, and other analogies - though harder to illustrate - might even be people like Robin Hood or "Zorro." I could imagine it would be good to have a series of these in this style analogizing Epicurus as a revolutionary, but those don't have the easier-to-duplicate imagery of the Che Guevera hat, so I'm not sure we'll ever see others.


The icing of the cake on the Che Guevera imagery that in my mind removes any remaining "no-politics" problem is the pig on the hat. That's an excellent touch and really seals the deal that this imagery is in good fun - while still making an important point about the revolutionary aspects of Epicurus' philosophy - in my opinion.

So while we always want to be careful to steer clear of divisive political imagery, in this case I don't think we have a problem.

Thank you Nate for those designs!
