"The Man" is a slang phrase that may refer to the government or to some other authority in a position of power. In addition to this derogatory connotation, it may also serve as a term of respect and praise.
The phrase "the Man is keeping me down" is commonly used to describe oppression. The phrase "stick it to the Man" encourages resistance to authority, and essentially means "fight back" or "resist", either passively, openly or via sabotage.
As a phrase meaning "the boss" it dates from at least 1918.
In the Southern U.S. states, the phrase came to be applied to any man or any group in a position of authority, or to authority in the abstract. From about the 1950s the phrase was also an underworld code word for police, the warden of a prison or other law enforcement or penal authorities.
The use of this term was expanded to counterculture groups and their battles against authority, such as the Yippies, which, according to a May 19, 1969 article in U.S. News and World Report, had the "avowed aim ... to destroy 'The Man', their term for the present system of government". The term eventually found its way into humorous usage, such as in a December 1979 motorcycle ad from the magazine Easyriders which featured the tagline, "California residents: Add 6% sales tax for The Man."

UPDATE 12/7/2000: New video not seen in Ten Years! Alex Jones Defends John Joe Gray! Click here to see the video! http://blip.tv/file/4475588 I Mike Hanson, answered the comment line and worked in Alex Jones office for many years. Mrs. Gray sent letters and called for several years trying get me to talk Alex into going to East Texas to do a story for his TV and radio show for the Grays personal problems relating to a custody battle over their grandkids. Alex didn't want to do a story on a personal problem but the Grays persisted in calling. Later the custody battle turned into a standoff situation as a result of John Gray being stopped in his vehicle and refusing to go to court. Mrs. Gray called my cell phone with this new information about the standoff. Alex and I went to the Gra...

I created this video with the YouTube Video Editor (http://www.youtube.com/editor)
This is my first attempt at finishing a video using HitFilm 4 express and for a free editing software it is very versatile. This was entirely filmed with a GoPro 3+ at Stomping Grounds in Portland, Oregon. This is a great independantly owned coffee shop with great coffee, delicious food and friendly people. My brother Josh was shooting the official promo, which will be released soon, and I tagged along to help out and do some behind the scenes footage. I made this montage to practice editing and to ad to the experience. Thanks for checking it out.

Joe W. Gray, Ph.D., Chair of the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Oregon Health & Science University, presented a keynote at IBC Life Sciences' Antibody Engineering & Therapeutics 2015 in San Diego. Cancers arise and progress as a result of epigenomic and genomic changes that corrupt normal molecular processes that lead to "cancerous systems" (i.e. the cancer cells and the environments in which they reside). Much of what we know of these processes has been inferred from assessment of protein levels and associations between proteins using materials extracted from cells and tissues. Now, however, it is possible to directly visualize the multiscale molecular details of aberrant proteins, organelles, cells and tissues using advances in imaging technology, chemistries that enable specif...
