no interest or attention span for any subject. i'm not reading. don't draw. don't give a shit about the music on my stereo. i don't even turn it on some days. which is quite a dramatic thing for me. this keeps up, i'll just start boozing up in front of the TV every nite and wait for death. i'm aimless, no goals that i believe in, no hope or aspiration. i just get up, do little or nothing and slink back off to my room at the end of the day.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"

time we had a little talk. Are you sitting comfortably? Then I'll begin...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt; I suppose you're wondering why I've called you here this evening. Well, you see, I'm not entirely satisfied with your performance lately... I'm afraid your work's been slipping and... and well, I'm afraid we've been thinking about letting you go. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;Oh, I know, I know. You've been with the company a long time now. Almost... let me see. Almost ten thousand years! My word, doesn't time fly? It seems like only yesterday... I remember the day you commenced your employment, swinging down from the trees, fresh-faced and nervous, a bone clasped in your bristling fist... "Where do I start, sir?", you asked, plaintively. I recalled my exact words: "There's a pile of dinosaur eggs over there, youngster", I said, smiling paternally all the while. "Get sucking". &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;Well, we've certainly come a long way since then, haven't we? And yes, yes, you're right, in all that time you haven't missed a day. Well done, thou good and faithful servant. Also, please don't think I've forgotten about your outstanding service record, or about all of the invaluable contributions that you've made to the company... Fire, the wheel, agriculture... It's an impressive list, old-timer. A jolly impressive list. Don't get me wrong. But... well, to be frank, we've had our problems too. There's no getting away from it. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;Do you know what I think alot of it stems from? I'll tell you... It's your basic unwillingness to get on in the company. You don't seem to want to face up to any real responsibility. To be your own boss. Lord knows you've been given plenty of opportunities... We've offered you promotion time and time again, and each time you've turned us down. "I couldn't handle the work, Guv'Nor", you wheedled. "I know my place". To be frank, you're not trying, are you? You see, you've been standing still for far too long, and its starting to show in your work... And, I might add, in your general standard of behavior. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;The constant bickering on the factory floor has not escaped my attention... nor the recent bouts of rowdiness in the staff canteen. Then of course there's... Hmm. Well, I didn't really want to have to bring this up, but... Well, you see, I've been hearing some disturbing rumors about your personal life. No, never you mind who told me. No names, no pack drill... I understand you are unable to get on with your spouse. I hear that you argue. I am told that you shout. Violence has been mentioned. I am reliably informed that you always hurt the one your love... the one you shouldn't hurt at all. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;And what about the children, its always the children who suffer, as you're well aware. Poor little mites. What are they to make of it? What are they to make of all your bullying, your despair, your cowardice and all your fondly nurtured bigotries? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;Really, its not good enough, is it? And its no good blaming the drop in work standards on and management either... though to be sure, the management is very bad. In fact, let us not mince words... &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;The Management is terrible! We've had a string of embezzelers, frauds, liars and lunatics making a string of catastrophic decisions. This is plain fact. But who elected them? It was you! You who elected these people! You who gave them the power to make your decisions for you! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;While I'll admit that anyone can make a mistake once, to go on making the same lethal errors century after century seems to me nothing short of deliberate. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;You have encouraged these malicious incompetents, who have made your working life a shambles. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;You have accepted without question their senseless orders.

You have no spine. You have no pride. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;You are no longer an asset to the company. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;I will, however, be generous. You will be granted two years to show me some improvement in your work. If at the end of that time you are still unwilling to make a go of it... you're fired. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;That will be all.

me.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;br

was a man wise beyond his years. the gravity here is different. stay too long and it becomes inescapable. here i see people try and fail. i've watched those that don’t attempt anything and still fail. eventually all get sucked down into the fault line that courses thru the cracked broken heart of the city. a broken love. split. ever shifting. it grinds people up between aggravated spiteful tectonic plates. the city’s first and primary fault is the line that runs thru its heart. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'times new

store. the lost and confused wander the street and i think they get it better than the rest of us. the delusional, those stricken with schizophrenia, with autism and downs. they live a better life. each year another shop springs up and disappears by the following summer. houses perpetually for sale. factories abandoned. lots vacant like eyes that have seen too much of this place.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;br

getting to me. the pull is getting stronger. gets harder to pull myself up off the floor each morning and move. doesn’t seem to have any meaning or purpose. autonomic function. i play my role. the dissident the passive curmudgeon, prophet of doom, nay sayer. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span

style="font-family:'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;the wise and the wary come and go in the night. the bright and hopeful either get their shit together and get up and get gone. some try to leave after a life time but always find themselves back here. to get digested, consumed like so much limestone.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;br

is it about this miserable bastard of a city that keeps me here? what brings in outsiders? with their new and unweathered perspectives, keeping life long residents on their broken porches with their cars up on blocks?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:

style="font-size: medium;"&gt;far be it for me to take the optimists view.....&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;but i think that it takes a view from the outside coming in to see it. the bird’s eye view. seen by the migrant fowl that has followed the lake’s shore. followed the waves to find herself here.  that judges  it objectively, seeing through the dust and without the concrete cataracts that the locals peer at the city with.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;i can’t help but see the ugly, maligned, malignant. the diseased shit birds and mangy squirrels the old drunks by the creek and the bull neck coppers that know them all by name. terrified post-urbanites biding their time until they can move away, the junkies with meth rotted teeth. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;but there is something sublime, something beyond the natural pull of the town that draws me to them.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;staring thru chain link fence at broken buildings and homes at flocks of birds that ignore the nature of this place. hearty weeds and wildflowers defiantly blooming. the flora grows low and stocky. hardy and sparse. fighting against the gravity up out of the cracks in the sidewalk over crumbling brick and disused buildings. nature pushes its way up thru crumbling masonry and inches across worn brick work. it sprouts from places the city didn’t plan, the potted plants all smile in their plant souls at the free and liberated flora. uncontrolled growth. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;foreign weeds and vines come from out of town. the willfull creepers like veins across the arms and steel branches of the city work their way up and over stubborn architecture and to the light, immune to the pressure that afflicts the terrestrial inhabitants. poisoned ivies become the antidote to municipal malaise.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;music echoes nightly from down home bars, honky-tonks and phony English pubs. mixing with rumbling sounds of trains passing through the town, never stopping. whimsical folk played to fresh faced long skirted girls in unfriendly bars. tribal beats emerge from unsuspecting parks with their broken play equipment and rusted bleachers. slow jazz trails out apartment windows above women’s second hand clothing stores. police sirens and night time helicopter pitter patter. women yelling from bedroom windows at  grubby, happy kids who are still playing, in the abandoned lots and fields, out well after the lights are on.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;brilliant graphitti lines tunnels along wooded trails. that course beneath freeways and worn and warped, faded asphalt roads. nature wages a guerilla war against the occupying forces of industry and commerce. the politicians, industrialists and the dope pushers. many inhabitants who are not uncommonly more than one of these.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;at least the addict knows nirvana when he finds it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;you can always see the sky. no gargantuan imperial edifices obscure the view, no smouldering towers. birds pass over unaware that they are meant to fall out of the sky. gristle for the mortar of the cities warty craggy hyde. many faces and facets. benign and malignant. pure and desolate. a scarred beauty in constant internal war.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;this is as good a place as any. perhaps more so because of what you have to do to get there. your half-assed shit that would fly in some college town or snooty big city burrough won’t get you enough to pay rent. in fact you’ll have probably spent your rent money to do it. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;this is about endurance.  struggle is the reward.you better mean what you are saying. put it all in what you are doing. or you’ll never be forgiven. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;on a May day i sit down by the creek legs crossed, eyes closed. listening to the water wash over the rocks and shale. the sun rises and greets the school children and the hung-over alike with a yellow haze that warms the skin as the birds begin to chirp.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"

largely paid for and operated on by the U.S. government. they threw millions of dollars at Mark Zuckerberg to make this website to help you find old friends and make new contacts which seems an awfully benevolent gesture even for these titans of charity, free speech and all around good will.&lt;br /&gt;while the other friendly social network tool that you all love and use MYSPACE is &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'times new roman';"&gt;owned and run by NEWS CORP a.k.a the FOX media mega-corporation.&lt;br /&gt;and there is no small ammount of cross marketing and contamination between these entities.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'times new

put his dirty cash in on this thing just because it's a great way to subject  people to an endless barrage of advertisement and to use their personal details to cross market and cull demographic information and to unwittingly sell out their dear close relatives and long lost friends to the corporate marketing swine. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'times new roman';"&gt;simply by adding a photograph of your friend to their site and tagging it with a name you have voided all rights to privacy, theirs and yours. making the images and likenesses thereof property of the corporate industrial complex that they can utilise, disseminate and manipulate for their ad campaigns, spambots and  ultimately for whatever they wish. you are now their property. whether you signed up or not. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'times new roman';"&gt;we have deprivatised ourselves.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span

class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'times new roman';"&gt;now there can be no assumption of benign or altruistic reasons for the U.S. government's involvement in this one. they are rather disinclined to using public funds in something the voting public would actually use.  what interest could the powers that be, the ruling class, the war mongers and lobbyists have in a quirky social website that is designed to collect pictures of citizens, organise and catagorise all of their family, friends, acquaintances linking social and business networks? why would they want to invest multiple millions into a free site that does nothing more than track all of the cultural, political, commercial habits of people and allows them to share freely their opinions all all things in their life from gardening to church and state?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'times new roman';"&gt;i mean what could they be hoping to gain by funding and ultimately having complete totalitarian access to a massive database that tracks every physical location of its users by IP address and that stores, collects and monitors all the habits of citizens to a degree that no census could ever accomplish,  that even the best cold war agent would not have been able to access. to know all the things that people do not speak of in public. and to get them to completely and totally surrender their legal rights as free and private citizens and those of their friends and colleagues.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'times new roman';"&gt;the patriot act was the first step. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'times new roman';"&gt;and don't think because you live outside U.S. borders that it doesn't affect you. the last 50 years of world history prove that if it is in the interest of the American government then its corrupt and monstrous tentacles will reach it and the world will not raise a hand.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'times new roman';"&gt;the war machine has &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;carte blanche&lt;/span&gt; to do as it will to protect "freedom" whatever it is they think that is this week.  their basic principle centers around the world serving the whims and pockets of the munition makers and oil merchants. they will protect freedom by enforcing their military might upon whomsoever declines to cooperate with them. branding all as enemies of liberty and as terrorists even as they wage illegal wars and campaigns of  horrendous slaughter on soil that is not their own. fighting the good fight on behalf of people that don't want their help and killing them in the process.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'times new roman';"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'times new roman';"&gt;look up friendly fire casualties as compared to veterans and soldiers actually wounded or killed by the evil enemy's hordes and tell me who the terrorists are.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span

type='text'>earth hour ( reposted from 29. mar.08)</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;unfortunately gestappo murderers and nuclear death did not come for us,&lt;br /&gt;so my prophecy failed.&lt;br /&gt;but my sentiment is unchanged.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;17.03.09&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"&gt;EARTH HOUR- SELF INDULGENCE AND SLAUGHTER&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;60 mins of reprieve from the hideousness of electric light isn't going to convince mama nature not to wipe us of her surface like the turd race we are.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;but if behaving in an intelligent and ecological respectful manner for an hour out of the thousands of years we’ve been using this planet as our toilet clears your conscience and saves you from all that knee bending hail mary bullshit then go for it. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;stay limber tho, we'll al be kissing our asses goodbye soon enough.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;so as you all huddle in darkness and wonder at the miracle of fire i'll turn out my lights for your primitive party, not out of respect or neighbourliness, but so my house doesn't pop up on those spy satellite images marked as a dissident and possible threat to national security. they already have my address and i’m not inclined to give them a free shot.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;don't think for a second those evil fucks in government and industry aren't salivating at the notion that we will be shut down and out from communications and   our personal defenses and security will be at all time low.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;they tested this on us a few years back in that 3 day blackout of the eastern seaboard, that was explained away with diarrhea weak bullshit and the kind of made up technical jargon of a sci-fi writer born into some slavic backwoods and then it was forgotten, dropped by the media that couldn't let the death of a fat bloated has-been pin-up model go without 15 min updates.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;we bought the official report that, Marilyn killed herself, Rodney King was resisting, Kennedy was killed by Oswald and that Bush didn’t know about the Twin Towers.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;but we still doubt the death of Elvis and Bruce Lee.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;we've deluded ourselves into thinking that because seemingly endless streams of info are at our fingertips, that any of it is actually true or meaningful. we do not trust our own eyes and instincts.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;we no longer know how to listen. it is simply accepted because we can access information itself and don’t have to have books translated from latin for our comprehension and consumption that we actually know what’s going on. i sure as hell don’t, but i know how those beasts think. its all rape and murder for them.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;keep an eye out for your neighbours, listen for screams in the night.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;do you know what jackboots sound like?  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;this whole idea is another NIGHT OF THE LONG KNIVES waiting to happen. good solid upstanding party members erased. death toll kept unreleased until 75 years have passed. released heavily edited reeking of black marker and guilt.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;i’ll be listening. waiting, in the dark, well armed. peering out from windows. waiting for the flash of gunfire. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;we are told to cut down on heating , on air conditioning, while their office stay lit and cooled all thru the night. we are told we’re running low on power , when the truth of the matter is that they’ve over sold it to industry and other territories. don’t forget every year and season we the paying are instructed to cut down our electrical consumption by the people whose use we pay the bills for. while the cities we live in light larger and larger conifers - in effigy to some poor bastard from the stone age - that run at a few thousand watts an hour. damn right they love jesus, he’s the one who got them their jobs. he probably would’ve offed himself quietly in some iraqi cave if he’d known where they were going with this, the first corporation, still the number one branded logo, 2000 years running. i’d like to think he’d become buddhist.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;i’m sure this whole idea was cooked up by some well meaning posthippie corporate sellout and then pounced on by his superiors. he’s so bought in he doesn’t realise that everything he does contradicts     everything he says. which is exactly how one needs to behave to get ahead in this world.  and if i find him i will give him an incredible beating.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;so when the lights go out look out your windows, look towards the factories, to the shopping malls, the pubs taverns and overpriced restaurants. you think 7-11 will shut down in respect for the planet?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;so flick off your TVs and light your torches, and think about what we’ve done. realise that this isn’t going to get you of the hook with nature.  maybe you’ll learn something, maybe this time of reflection will teach you to coduct yourself in a better way. perhaps you’ll even try to find a job near home, in the city you live in, somewhere within walking distance and you won’t even miss your demolished SUV you found smoldering in a pile of melted plastic after the ensuing earth hour riots.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;the likely situation is that you will be filled with self righteousness. smug and proud, ready to assault,   batter and admonish any one not down with the plan. you’ll go about your daily life the same ways and any philosophically inconsistent actions will be mentally ironed out with inspired cop-outs like ,” i don’t have a choice.” and “ i have to.” that are generally as arguable as some twisted shit banging on your door with a stack of literature telling you he “believes”.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;we can not repair the damage we have done and do not deserve a second chance.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;lock your doors, take note of any strange vehicles parked outside of your homes.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;think of what you’ve done.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;and if you go out, dress warm. its cold out there.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

type='text'>midday thots and happy recollections</title><content type='html'>tho i long gave up on ever getting our telephone line fixed and secured again i still like to call the phone company. i can call them because they are not real people. its best during peak times, when there are calls piling in a queue. i call to complain. with whatever un-resolvable issue i conceive of that day and work my way thru the call centre pyramid. this is less effective at night. no supervisors. the chain of command is thin. and those bastards know they aren’t being monitored. they’ll  actually hang up on you. without fear. i let them get to what they think is the end of a successful call and when they ask if they have resolved my questions and concerns, i tell them no. they then reattempt to care for my issue. when done they ask again i still reply no. i change my tone and alter my problems as quick as they get close to a solution. they move me thru managers and supervisors thru technical support. over to billing. onto complaints. back to billing. then to sales. when they conclude that i will not tell them that they fixed my problem, they ask if they have given me options to resolve it. i maintain a solid, no. some eventually break under the pressure. they are being timed and monitored for customer satisfaction and they are failing miserably with me. they curse me. tell me i am an asshole. ask me what my fucking damage is. then when i know they have said enough. when they are sufficiently agitated. pissed off enough that i know they’ll take this anger home with them along with their termination notice. when they are near breakdown and i can feel the nervous rage in them. palpable thru my staticky line. i hang up on them while they are mid-sentence.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;on a related note, tele-marketers are by nature morons and incapable of intelligent thought which does make them easier targets for scorn, their retarded simplicity almost makes their existence forgivable. but smarter people? people with thoughts and feelings of their own? not from a script. why do they call? i have nothing to offer. i give nothing. i do not share. i am not compassionate. i just wait for you to stop talking so i can make what premeditated statement i have prepared as response to their line of questioning. to acknowledge their opinions. to validate their feelings. to change topic to suit what i have need to communicate. don’t call to invite me to something. to your house. to your party. i’m not coming. i’ve stopped playing that game. i’m beyond that. i’m not buying what you’re selling. if you don’t say something within 2 seconds i am hanging up. i know you’ll call back. when you do, i’m not saying hello. see how it feels. better add the word “NO” to your corporate vocabulary. that’s all you’re getting. no i don’t want security. i do not need my ducts clean. you can not talk to the lady of the house. and no you were not speaking to her. she didn’t forget to tell me anything. she didn’t agree to have one of your salespersons come to our home. she doesn’t exist. sometimes i wait for them to come on the line and just hold down the # for five or ten minutes. until they are off the line. other times i tell them no i’m not the one they are asking for but i’ll get them. i tell them to hold the line a moment. i put down the phone and go out to get groceries.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

type='text'>would auld acquaintance and diseased civilisations be taken out and shot!</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;yes, Santa received your letter. and i’m sure he was over-fucking-joyed to to fill your latest absurd and thoughtless request. your brainless wishes for big screen televisions, global positioning devices, diamond pendants in the shape of some fucking stupid cartoon cat from a country that doesn’t even believe in his existence or for one of those asinine brown plaid scarfs that every furry boot, logo’d exercise pant and pea-coat wearing dingbat has on, indoors or out. while it’s spectacular that you got your wish, that your hearts desire came true for you, you the entitled, you the undeserving and over privileged you the ungrateful stupid docile masses. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;lets us say that i am unimpressed.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;my request to Santa was a bit more pragmatic. i asked that he take time to truly consider what each and everyone of you deserve based on your contributions to the world, your community your fellow human plants and animals alike and reward accordingly. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;which is to say i wished for him  to perch his portly sainted red hind quarters over your chimneys x-mass eve and for him to fire out cranberry and anthrax filled turds, steaming with sulfur and mustard gas down into your over sized stockings or outstretched hands.  clearly i did not get my wish this year, because as i arose on x-mass morn and flicked on the idiot box, i saw no breaking news of millions of homes having been violated and vandalised. sadly, no frantic bulletins in regards to housewives black-eyed from trying to mate with white bearded robbers. nor of presents stolen, substituted with dried and sculpted reindeer jism in the shape of candycanes and no horrified reports of turgid hot steamers left in now soiled stockings on the mantle, oozing from their holiday prize.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;so i have had to turn my optimism towards the new year. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;desperately hoping that the Spanish/English translation of the Mayan calendars were inaccurate and that the world is in fact scheduled to be thrown into armageddon this coming year. 2012 seems too far off to wait.  patience is not one of my virtues as pertaining to the apocalypse. i’m praying for Ragnarok as the calendar turns january. maybe i’ll be rewarded this year,  get lucky and as the last second of 2008 ticks off we’ll discover in a grand and deadly explosion that the big shining lighted balls (the ones that all you troglodytes watch drooling in front of your idiot boxes) descending at the midnight hour are actually nuclear warheads, counting down the remaining seconds of all our lives, deforming and/or killing all pretentious, scarf and plastic party hat wearing, socially medicated, corporate logo emblazoned shitbags within a 1000 kilometres, with extremely painful and hideously mutating radioactive spores. all being filmed for the world to see. with the audience at home left only to wait for it to come to them. though i’m sure Dick Clark will survive along with the cockroaches and other members of his immortal insectoid race. too bad you can’t actually die directly from watching something on the TV. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;one of the main problems with people is that they always want some one else to do everything for them. they want to be taken care of by others. have their arses washed  and to be tucked into bed like the good little children they aren’t.  what a wonderfully communist idea that is. any wonder that fat bastard Santa wears a red suit.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;you’ve never been responsible . you never had to make any of the hard choices. all you do is make an X on a small slip of paper every 4 or five years and stuff it into a cardboard box. a ballot box maintained and and watched by the elderly and simple. and this makes you feel like you are involved. one pencilled mark on a folded piece of paper and your work is done. you pass on the responsibility and give authority to some megalomaniac that has interest in you only in the way a hungry man looks at a bottle of whiskey. desperate, depraved and full of malignant lust for your demise. you are there for them until you’re drained then dumped off to the landfill with all the x-mass paper, Chinese baby girls and last years gift baskets and toys.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;lo and behold this year is extra special. this year your messiah has come. received unto us the bright and shining western world, leaders and plunderers of all the universe. your black baby  Jesus has descended upon us and will cure all the ills inflicted upon us by the terrible regime that has controlled the world for nearly half the century. you finally have a leader, nay, a messiah that is the embodiment of all that you hold dear, tho not all that you are. he is from poor mongrel stock, just like you. a broken home of fractured ideology and has shipped around the world thru enough slums and squalid townships to know exactly what you need. but lest we forget that the messiah must be martyred to be worth a damn. and so you can have an excuse why things didn’t go as planned. saviors are set up and rubbed out as needed. dead men are easier to control. do what ever is good for business. manipulate the back story and the masses have whatever fictitious figment of faith they needed to make the daily doses of shit pie and cod liver oil that are doled out palatable. keep believing that there is purpose, that the light at the end of the tunnel is something more than your brain chemicals leaking out from blunt trauma, to numb the pain of death. keep hoping for a better life after your life of physical misery and servitude is over. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;you need the promise of change. you clearly do not however want actual change. and you  wouldn’t know what to do with it should it ever be granted. you are satisfied with the soon to be unkept promises of your latest messiah and master. same as the old master. its all about marketing isn’t it? who has the strongest brand? whose face looks best on TV or has the best catch phrase. you couldn’t give two dog turds about what they really want from you, the adoring public. but you know what? they get it every time. with your consent, your blessing, with your armchair politics and disinterested attitudes. you give them all the power to do whatever they want with your lives. it is why they are called leaders. but it doesn’t mean they have your interests in mind. the power corrupts and no one is getting to the top of the food chain with out burying a few bodies. but alas, this is the price of fame and fortune in the land of opportunity. stop letting people run your life for you. life is not a queue for heaven or whatever other nonsense your pre-verbal brains dreamt of. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;doctrines and laws are not often just and not immutable.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;at any rate glue your sprayed tan and heavily made up faces to the idiot box tomorrow night. put on your best leather elbowed sweater and sparkled nylon dress and the good panty hose with the reinforced toes.&lt;br /&gt;play grab ass with the neighbours puke breathed wife. act like you give more than three seconds of regard towards the people around you each year, as if you ever stopped to think about something other than your base and venal sexual needs. crack open a few more bottles of shitty wine and drink it down friends. suck it all in like the gluttonous swine you are. i won’t even call you whores because you pay for these privileges. this is the world you make happen every day, just by doing nothing.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;myself?  i’m going to put on my bestest radiation suit this year, spin some pre-millennial funk records and sit out on the roof and wait for death to come over of the horizon. you keep waiting for miracles. in lines, huddled, groping and stumbling through your lives. keep waiting for someone to do it all for you. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;one of these years we’ll get what we deserve.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;and when you go out, don’t forget.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;dress warm, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;its cold out there.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span

(from 08.dec.08)</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family: times new roman;"&gt;what have i done?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: times new roman;"&gt;apparently not enough. the world is still a filthy seething mess and that bastard commercial with all those bastard starving children in it that has that lousy bastard song are still on the air. tell me how this is my fault.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: times new roman;"&gt;i am not going to adopt a child. not in reality and definitely not in the symbolic and futile way you propose on my TV.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: times new roman;"&gt;sure, your paid correspondents/actors tell me that it buys them clothes and meals and a chance at an education. that is of course if they submit to the will of the christ and abandon their backwards culture and religious practices for yours. and your warped World Vision.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: times new roman;"&gt;without slipping into a completely paranoid rant i will tell you straight up that your kind of charity is not one that the world needs. altruism with conditions. generosity with ulterior motives.the salvation army can take a handful of nickels from the kettle and choke on them as well.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: times new roman;"&gt;you’ve been selling this since you got run out of egypt. sure you weren’t called christians yet, it was before the Italians got involved, i know. you turned the simpleminded feeble attempts of uncivilised barbarians into the world’s first corporation. and all trickled down and fed off the mighty Cathlick teat. some went independent and claimed their own sovereignty they found new profits and rewrote history to resurrect old ones. but that was your trick. you taught them. the blind and devoted are docile and easy to control. keep them worshiping and begging, indoctrinating against questioning and making sure they remain obedient. this is best for the powers of the world.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: times new roman;"&gt;conversion under duress. live saving food and medicine in one hand, a bible in the other. not a soul can make any more sense of that slapped together bit of ecclesiastical nonsense even since they started publishing it in something other than Latin. i’m fairly sure King James himself couldn’t read that mess either and put it together like a dogmatic MadLibs.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: times new roman;"&gt;just one more mind control experiment after another,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: times new roman;"&gt;they’ve been telling you about poor starving bastard kids in far away lands for what seems like forever. shouldn’t all these little fuckers be dead or saved by now?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: times new roman;"&gt;just for argumentative and slanderous reasons lets focus on their activities since the 70’s. . they’ve been collecting money and spreading their mind warping tendrils across the world.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: times new roman;"&gt;Live Aid.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: times new roman;"&gt;Christian Children’s Fund.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: times new roman;"&gt;30 hour famine.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: times new roman;"&gt;Jonestown.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: times new roman;"&gt;did you catch that?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: times new roman;"&gt;anyone ever tabulate just how much you bastards gave to Jonestown? how much world vision money for a better world went into the reverend jim jones’ pockets? how much grape FlavorAid, cyanide and artillery did you wholesome god fearing folk buy with that? Focus in on the fact that both work with the same primary demographics, the poor + disadvantaged and more precisely , blacks, females and children. they are simultaneously an endless resource and most “receptive” to the conditioning and relief offered by this insidious beast. and the good Reverend Billy Graham has had his henchmen sniffing around the old stomping grounds in Guyana looking for a place to relocate.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: times new roman;"&gt;another year older.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: times new roman;"&gt;i hate this time of year more and more while one commercial hypes the latest sex toys apparatus and implants, the car you need, the necklace you need to buy her to prove you care then the next switch right over to aids ridden puppies and starving rabid children for that guaranteed guilt marketing dollar. mindless consumerist nonsense.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: times new roman;"&gt;what do the misadventures of some poor bastard Rabbi from Galilee have to do with camcorders,cheese logs pine trees and diamond solitaires?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: times new roman;"&gt;well back to Africa for a moment. Africa’s number one export is of course a girl’s best friend. the always popular diamond and they ship them out by the tonnes. where’s all that money going to? ask some poor bombed out Iraqi son of a bitch where his oil cheque went while you’re at it. send a letter of reminder to your Senator or former President maybe they forgot to put it in the mail for those poor 3rd worlders.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: times new roman;"&gt;the root of this is that i find your choice of theme song inappropriate. you are the people who killed John Lennon after all. Mark David Chapman was a World Vision devotee just like John Hinckley Jr. Who wants to get someone’s autograph just before murdering them? how much more obvious do you need to make it? keep rubbing it in.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: times new roman;"&gt;2.6 billion in the coffers last year. not bad for a charitable organization. whose only concrete accomplishments were the murder of a has been rocker turned politco that would have potentially derailed their meddling in international affairs and the further poisoning of peoples with christian dogma. another year of waste and mindless numbing braindead programming that you’ll swallow like the good little sheep your taught to be.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: times new roman;"&gt;let me be on the record as to say i hated the Beatles and am grateful this eliminated the possibility of a reunion tour. but that weird hippie - as lousy a musician and father as he was - was really on to something in the peace market. and all those bowl-cut wearing and hash smoking wasteoids that worshipped him like maggots to rancid cat food would have done whatever he pleased. they would have heeded the word, healed the world and fucked up everything for the powers that be. do you think the C.I.A was following him for an autograph? and i would have appreciated the attempt on Reagan’s life if i didn’t think that George Bush Sr. was the one behind it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: times new roman;"&gt;How proud of your accomplishments are you that you use you license music from a man that you hated and who opposed your ways. sure you do the heal the world dance and make it sound like peace is your goal, but at what cost? at whose expense? people are an easily lead bunch of lemmings to begin with and religion institutionalized it. church and state are never that far separated ideologically. this is the next level. they’ve had it in place for over thirty years. you believe, operate and breed under the concept that the population is dwindling. you are told that people are dying and need your assistance.but where? whens the last time you saw the city welcome sign lower the population numbers?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: times new roman;"&gt;what makes the members of this benign christian group kill? too many spins of the White Album? Salinger’s apparent serial killer manifesto, Catcher in the Rye? or government funding to a religious cult that specialises in totalitarian indoctrination and brain washing. preying on the disadvantaged and undereducated.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: times new roman;"&gt;28 years since Lennon was offed and the official report on the event still stands. do everyone a favor. stop watching so much TV, question everyone’s motives, don’t accept anything at face value (this article included) and the next time you are accosted on the street by one of these World Vision operatives (apologies i meant to type “missionaries”) you kick them in the shins then start asking the questions. we get sold the same story every year. give money, give food, give blood. we the target poor and middle classes ( yes, it still exists for the moment) we the devoted and docile, the ignorant and unwashed masses. those who have the least to give, give most. its a pretty good scam. make or keep all but the ruling class poor so in the end we have no choice but to take their handouts. on their terms. with their conditions. Peace never got a chance. it was bad for business. Wars are marketing campaigns. Stop supporting the war. You already support the troops every time you pay tax. Stop humming that song. Sit down to your fat turkey dinner with the family in your oil and gas warmed homes and look out at the falling snow on your new SUV with yellow ribbon bumper sticker and think about what you have done. Things haven’t changed. The advertisements are just better.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: times new roman;"&gt;a new year just begun.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: times new roman;"&gt;now  a small exercise in unlearning:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: times new roman;"&gt;lets play 6 Degrees of separation.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: times new roman;"&gt;John Lennon- peacenik voice of a generation and crappy musician,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: times new roman;"&gt;Mark David Chapman- crappy music and JD Salinger fan, World Vision member&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: times new roman;"&gt;JD Salinger- recluse writer, CIA operative, friend of Sen. John Hinckley Sr.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: times new roman;"&gt;John Hinckley Sr.- U.S. Senator, father of John Jr. , World Vision supporter and president, friend of George Bush Sr, Billionaire Oil Man&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: times new roman;"&gt;John Hinckley JR- Salinger fan, world vision member,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: times new roman;"&gt;attempted assassin of Prez. Ronald Reagan.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: times new roman;"&gt;George Bush Sr- VP to Ronald Reagan, former director of CIA. Billionaire Oil Man and     weapons manufacturer.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: times new roman;"&gt;Ronald Reagan- monkey loving yutz,  puppet President, too stupid to die.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: times new roman;"&gt;more to digest:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a style="font-family: times new roman;" href="http://www.nathanielblumberg.com/bush.htm" onmousedown="'UntrustedLink.bootstrap($(this)," target="_blank" rel="nofollow"&gt;&lt;span&gt;http://www.nathanielblumbe&lt;/span&gt;&lt;wbr&gt;rg.com/bush.htm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a style="font-family: times new roman;" href="http://www.mackwhite.com/lennon.html" onmousedown="'UntrustedLink.bootstrap($(this)," target="_blank" rel="nofollow"&gt;&lt;span&gt;http://www.mackwhite.com/l&lt;/span&gt;&lt;wbr&gt;ennon.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a style="font-family: times new roman;" href="http://www.whale.to/b/jonestown1.html" onmousedown="'UntrustedLink.bootstrap($(this)," target="_blank" rel="nofollow"&gt;&lt;span&gt;http://www.whale.to/b/jone&lt;/span&gt;&lt;wbr&gt;stown1.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: times new roman;"&gt;dress warm, its cold out there.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: times new roman;"&gt;from the bell tower.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: times new roman;"&gt;08.12.08&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5200844338270730827-5774160038381820829?l=bignothing00.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bignothing00.blogspot.com/feeds/5774160038381820829/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://bignothing00.blogspot.com/2008/12/so-this-is-christmas-from-08dec08.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5200844338270730827/posts/default/5774160038381820829'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5200844338270730827/posts/default/5774160038381820829'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bignothing00.blogspot.com/2008/12/so-this-is-christmas-from-08dec08.html' title='so this is christmas?
