Month: November 2004

Mondays are tough.

Insurance companies continue to gouge us, Heating Oil costs have doubled which means broke broke broke.
Perhaps it is time to look for a 2nd job? Most people here have 2 jobs, I suppose it is a requirement in our lovely economy.
It really doesn’t help that >50% of americans would rather say they don’t like fags than to help fix it.

I could also look for a more corporate job – that could solve money issues; that also cancels any idea of going to school to finish the BS.

The answer really may have to lie in moving to a smaller house or an apartment and selling our car (car pmt+insurance is ~$600/mo)

Blah.

Slogging through… 😀

I belive that Homophobia is equal to racsim*, in and of every entire single way. This is a core moral value of mine, and I believe it needs to be spread.It is based on my belief of universal equality to all humankind.

How can we move this value into the mainstream? How can we make homophobia as taboo as racism?

Any Ideas?

(Oh, and if you disagree with me about this core value, I’m glad you have an opinion. This post is not about that, it presupposes for the sake of discussion this value. Please post elswhere or in your own journal, thanks. Off-topic or flame-worthy posts will be deleted.)

*and sexism, religionism, etc. (see the anti-discrimination act of 1964)

* gender neutral pronoun.

No comments. This is a declaration post.

There is a grave issue confronting this counrty. There is a great threat confronting each and everyone of us here.

It is not terrorism. (duh.) It is not corporate control. It is not this administration (directly).

It is about 50% of our own populace.

If you voted for Bush YOU ARE THE ENEMY.
If you are religiously fundamentalist YOU ARE THE ENEMY.
If you are more concerned about homosexualism than the nature of the rights of man YOU ARE THE ENEMY.

You are the enemy and you are wrong. Capital W wrong. I don’t believe in absolute right and wrong, but you are the fucking closest to it that is possible in this current reality. You are EVIL.

And I love you. I have compassion for you, because you are mislead, ignorant, unenlightened.

Hubris? YOU BET THE FUCK IT’S HUBRIS You can come and suck on my hubris. Platitudes are for pussies.

These people do not understand nuance. These people only understand black and white, so we must let them know that while we may chat amongst ourselves about their dark grey qualities, let them know that in their language, they wear the black hats.

They are the “bad guy”.

There is a cultural war going on and they are on the Wrong side. Their side is that of slavery. Their side is that of Jim Crow laws. Their side is that of Homophobia. Their side is that of fundamentalism. Their side is that of sexism. They are WRONG.

Wrong for this country, wrong for this world, wrong for civilization, wrong for their own good.

And I love them.

They deserve to be treated with respect and any human in this world does. They deserve peace and happiness and equality like any human in this world does.

And though I am an atheist, I will love the sinner.

I ABHOR THE SIN.

And I will not stand idly by as my country succumbs to their sin and degredation.

I will go down fighting. Peacibly and lawfully at first. And then peacefully and civil disobediently second.

I will not be cowed.

I will not be marginalized.

I will not give in to despair.

My country thinks it can wield Tolkien’s Ring without turning evil and already too many people are under its sway.

So what can we do?

We must reach out to our fellow man; reach our brainwashed and hoodwinked fellow americans and bring them to the good side.

We must recruit new members into our real world, into the enlightened good side to fight against the darkness.

We MUST call a spade a spade and when we meet evil name it as evil.

For instance, if you voted yes on 36 and you are christian? You voted with the devil. You have sinned in the eyes of your lord. (even though I don’t believe in him). He will forgive you, but you have been fooled by the devil. It’s simple.

Speak in their language; Love them; bring them to our side.

And if they do not come? Leave them to rot in their hell.

———–

The world moves on and I with it. I will continue to love my enemies and have compassion for all.

However, I will not pretend that those who choose to follow an evil path should not be told or counselled against their evil.

The Culture War has started and I am on the side of light. And I will fight to my last breath for equality, knowledge, elightenment and freedom.

I ask you to join me.

Note: If you choose to discuss this with me, you should know how to reach me.

I’m taking a few days absence from public internet forums and communites to mourn the lapse of logic, reason, and fact-based worldview. If you want to talk to me, I’m still checking email and on IM.

The slience starts now.

An interesting common Kerry Criticism I hear is that he “speaks vaguely and doesn’t say anything.” (???)

Interesting in the fashion that I don’t get that at all. It almost to me seems a purposeful misunderstanding based on personal issues.

So, I’d love some examples (from those who view our next President in this way)

Tell me some of these ambiguities, please.

HOWEVER, if they are in the way of these criticisms:

1. Kerry says life begins at conception
2. Kerry is pro-choice

Or:

1. Kerry says he won’t give anyone else a ‘Veto” on US hegemony
2. He wants to pass a “global test”

and you think these are vague or conflictory (and an example of the reported ambiguity), NEVER MIND. I understand that criticism all too well. I’d continue in a arguemnt of it, but I wouldn’t want to build any straw men (even if they are a perfect likeness). Fucking dualistic thinkers.

I’m having the hardes time with this fucking external array. Things like this really piss me off. It’s simple. Dead-easy crap. Why the fuck is the adapter card fucking with me? 4 drives, all set up properly. terminated properly, etc. It’s so frustrating in its uncomplexity. Fucking SCSI.

Well, in other news, tonight we’re headed to the DNC party at the Convention Center. I’m confident on a Kerry mini-landslide (hoping for a major landslide). So there will be plenty of drinking in celebration. Oh, and if by some manner the blow-monkey dry drunk retard and his death-cult war profiteers manage to steal another election, at least I’ll be inebriated.

I think I’m getting sick – the back of my throat is scratchy — I think there’s some rogue bacteria back there causing havoc.

I was typing “Monday” and instead typed “Monkey.”

I wish it were Monkey instead of Monday.

fun weekend, not enough time now to update – perhaps after LAB.

In the ULTRAZLAZY category, read ‘s update for the weekend update and what we did.

One Day Left!

go KERRY!
