I think I know what's up with Idol.

I don't know if one can run far, or fast enough, to get out.

In my head, I'm already out, that's one of the reasons I don't vote anymore.

In a more positive note... the funding for my son's school had been on the chopping block. The school requested letters from parents (which we did) stating how important the school is to our son. Enough support got behind it, and the funding was restored. We did get a list of a few politicians who took initiative and stepped up in defense of the school (part of a statewide program).

I haven't had a politician I could make ANY connection with in the past decade. I do believe I will return some support for these individuals.

Ask him/her one thing first, does he think it through before he/she twitters?

I'm with you, macky. I'm frustrated in the fact that everything is reduced to "call this number" or "go to this website" or "protest in the park - as long as you have the proper permits...". Who do we punch in the face, shoot, behead (historical rebellions) when we are FED up with being ignored, and treated like cattle?

Sabotage, a lovely word, it comes from the poor french workers, who, protesting their appalling working conditions threw threw their wooden shoes (Sabots) into the mechanical workings of the looms they were forced to work from dawn till dusk. While this may seem extreme, the only protests from history that are remembered are the successful ones, and they are usually very violent from one side or the other.

Nike made shoes all soft and squishy (and too expensive to just throw), so we'll need another plan, Art.

At the risk of me boring the tits off every one yet again with more history no one really wants to know, I was talking about the beginnings of the industrial revolution, where the world relied on great machines. The U.S. does have a vulnerability, all of the Homeland Security estimates and other scenarios rate it as the worst case scenario. It isn't the fabled Russian nuclear suitcase bomb, it isn't a well executed gas attack, it is an enemy with the sophistication to cause an E.M.P. effect over the continental U.S..
Although reversible, this would blast the United States back into the 1920's for between 1 to 2 years, long enough to cause destabilisation of both internal and external economic policy.

In all honesty, I actually stopped reading right here. I may come back to it later, but the mood you put me in made me rather hear the sound of my own voicing mouthing out this announcement.

It's easier than fucking around with a spoiler and gives you the choice, you chose well.

There are times when I'm prepared to trust your instincts.

It was about cool anime stuff set in an alternate U.S.A. or at least that's what I got out of it.
I also wrote in bits in my head where there were hawt Amazons with swords and zombies and worthwhile things like that.
