Jello Biafra citations

Eric Reed Boucher, connu sous le pseudonyme de Jello Biafra, est un chanteur, homme politique et militant écologiste né le 17 juin 1958 à Boulder, dans le Colorado, aux États-Unis. Il est le fondateur et président du label musical Alternative Tentacles et l'ex-chanteur du groupe punk hardcore Dead Kennedys. Il est membre du Parti vert des États-Unis. Il a été candidat aux primaires du Green Party en 2000, et a terminé quatrième aux élections municipales pour la mairie de San Francisco en 1979.

Le nom de scène d'Eric Boucher renvoie à la marque Jell-O et au nom d'un pays appelé Biafra, qui a brièvement existé après avoir tenté de se séparer du Nigeria en 1966. Après quatre années de combats et une terrible famine, le Biafra a été réuni au Nigéria. Boucher a donc formé son nom de scène en opposant le nom d'une compagnie d'un produit alimentaire de piètre qualité à un autre nom évoquant une grande période de famine. Wikipedia

“I am an anarchist in my personal life. I try to live my life in a way that I don't need cops or baby-sitters to keep me from infringing on others. But I don't feel we have evolved far enough as a species to make anarchy work in society itself.”

Address to the US Green Party
Contexte: I am an anarchist in my personal life. I try to live my life in a way that I don't need cops or baby-sitters to keep me from infringing on others. But I don't feel we have evolved far enough as a species to make anarchy work in society itself. We still need government to transfer the wealth from those who have too much to those who have too little, to make sure important projects get done, and keep territorial humans from screwing over and killing each other.
