GUTTER TALK RESULTS
I bet you don't know how much crap
the government does behind the backs
of hard-working American people, or is
it that nobody cares? Did you know that
more than half of your government is
run by rich businessmen who pay the
government off? That may seem too far
out, but the sad part is that it's all true.
We grow up learning that you have the
right to free speech, but if you say
things about the government, the only
thing you will get is a bullet in the head!
That is why I will not reveal may name
until the time is right. Most will not
agree with me on this subject and those
that do are too afraid to do anything
about it. What do you think about the
government testing deadly drugs on
people? Maybe you should think of that
before you visit your doctor next time.
Do you know that unsafe drugs have
been tested on pregnant females all
over America? Just thinking of that
makes me sick. Some may call me a rad-
ical, but I just want change for the good
of the people. The only way any good
will come is if the government goes. If
you think I'm full of shit, then I guess
understand, but you should at least be
open to the truth. I will leave you with
one question you should think about. Is
this country really free if you can't even
walk down the street and speak your
mind without getting your ass smoked?
To everyone who does believe in the
truth, then be ready because change is
on the way. To make one thing clear, we
are not skinheads, or crazy. We are just
sick of getting ripped off by this so-
called free country. To you who will,
spread the word of truth.

Favorite Skaters:
People who look like
they know what they
are doing
Rolling off a drop calculating where they land
These men have no fear or fright
He rolls across a blackened smooth curb
To others this would seem absurd
They only skate at night
The echoes of the urethane wheels
When the wood of the board squeals
These men have no fear or fright
They learn new tricks without the use of sight
Flipping the board for an enormous flight
They only skate at night
Rolling and flying, pushing the limits
Never giving up, having the highest spirits
These men have no fear or fright
When they go home at dawn.
like a vampire to his crypt
They lay to rest like an incoming ship
They only skate at night
