Beats the hell outta being a true-blue "socialist" who would immediately propose that everexpanding power to the Federal Leviathan would solve said problem. Problem with most Leftists is that they see a problem and say "Something must be done" and they assume that "something" is yet another Federal program!!
FReegards...MUD
While that's very true, I don't think the reason(s) behind Waters' not providing answers to (even *one* of) the myriad of questions his angst raises in his music lie in "politics," anyway.
I really believe he simply doesn't know what the solution(s) are or else he'd say.
The dark & brooding tone of his work (see "Animals," "The Wall" etc...) reek with his unrest over things he doesn't necessarily like but, cannot change, either.
"...were Problem with most Leftists is that they see a problem and say 'Something must be done' and they assume that 'something' is yet another Federal program!!"
HA!!
Yea, that's the American Liberal-Socilaist's modus operandi over here, alright; but, in europe it's a whole different ball game.
Over there it ain't "programs," or "expanding fed leviathons" the buggers clamor for, ad nauseum; it's, the faceless, godless power of the nanny state.
Which boils down to a case of gutlessness run amok amoung the terminally lazy as I see it.
