when mister De la Rocha speaks, he speaks as though he s a purist along with his people. the government are those wh wish to harm the pure people. the governmment are the dirty and corrupt ones.
Yeah the streets are ours! De La Rocha is saying such a purest street rebel it's great.
that america is run by corporations not the people in this country of ours. corputed government officials that only want money and things that make there life better. not all officals are that way, but there are only some purist people that keep clean.
The day will come when democracy is forgotten, when dollar bills have the golden arches instead of Washington. I will be a purist then, persecuted for it but continuing none-the-less. I will be seen on the street corners, handing out "Democracy Now!" flyers not because I am a Democrat, but because I am democracy.
Zack de la Rocha IS BEING VERY PURIST IN THIS QUOTE. HE IS RIGHT WE AS PEOPLE OF A NATION WHO IS “RULED” BY ONE ANOTHER SHOULD NOT LET OUR POLITICIANS DECIDE FOR US BECAUSE THEN WE ARE NOT FREE. YADADADADADADADADADADADADADAMEAN!!!
THIS QUOTE IS VERY INSIGHTFUL CONSIDERING THAT YOUR VIEW OF YOUR LIFE MAKES YOU WHO YOU ARE, BECAUSE OF YOUR PERCEPTION ON THE WORLD. THE WORLD CAN BE PEACEFUL IF YOU WORK TOWARDS IT, OR IT CAN BE DREADFUL IF YOU CHOOSE NOT TO.
OOPS!!!! SORRY THE ONE ABOVE WAS FOR MONDAYS COMMENT...DA DADA NAW.....I GUESS I CAN BE SLIGHTLY RET***ED~!!!!!!!!!!
zach de la rocha says that there government is controlling what is ours and he wants us to stand up and fight for our rights and wants and is purist because he wants to keep the old things going.
Rocha is definitely not a purist in the traditional American political sense. His quote sounds suspiciously anarchist, which means he should be silenced for the protection of the American public! But shh...don't say anything too loud, Bush might hear you.
...And you won't like him when he's angry.
Zack de la Rocha's quote can be known as purist. he only longs for democrats and republicans to not make our decisions. our democracy is corrupted.
the person is a purist he likes everyone to stick together.. he doesnt want government to take over the world who is suppose to stick together, without the governments help.
