fine structure day

Like Pi day, but using the fine structure constant 1/137 = 0.00729. So, the day is July 29th.

You: "Happy fine structure day"
Random Guy: "What the hell is that?!"

Narthex Structure

Of any of the bands emerging out of Ventura, Ca. punk scene in the late 80's, Narthex Structure is arguably one of the best remembered, and for good reason. If you get a chance, check them out.

I heard Narthex Structure is back together and playing the Theater this Friday night.

Social structure, in sociology, the distinctive, stable arrangement of institutions whereby human beings in a society interact and live together. Social structure is often treated together with the concept of social change, which deals with the forces that change the social structure and the organization of society.

Social structures consist of social relationships, as well as any social institutions within a society.

pig power structure

A blanket term for the U.S. power elite establishment coined in the 1960's by Black Panther Party leader, Bobby Seale. In Seale's own words, the pig power structure is composed of "the corporate money rich and the racist jive politicians and the lackeys, as we used to call them, for the government who perpetuates all this exploitation and racism."

The only way that the world is ever going to be free is when the youth of this country moves with every principle of human respect and with every soft spot we have in our hearts for human life, in a fashion that lets the pig power structure know that when people are racistly and fascistically attacked, the youth will put a foot in their butts and make their blood chill.
- Bobby Seale, "Seize the Time: The Story of the Black Panther Party" (1970)
