hello? idiots...(ahem john kerry)

freedom and equality are not the same thing, they are opposites goddamnit. and it is obvious that the person that uses these two words as if we can have both has no idea what the meaning of either is. to be free is to be unequal. to be free is to be unsafe. to be equal is to be not free. choose which fucking one you want.

we all

are having such a great time at the john kerry love fest that is the DNC and during our festivities, do we just choose to forget that he voted for the patriot act? or do we not care because he is running against bush?

In case youre not entirely

sure how fucked up our military is, all you need to do is read about a cowardice charge which the army recently brought up against one of its soldiers. This 5 year veteran is killing them damn iraqis and one day, sees the body of an iraqi, torn in half by US gunfire. this causes him to 'lose it' and seek counseling. well, aparently his comanders thought he was too much of a 'coward' and send him home to face a court martial on cowardice charges.

but wait folks, it gets better. it is entirely possible, say doctors, that this 'cowardice' is caused by mental instability which itself was caused by a reaction to a drug the army administered him.

the problem with todays smart guns and smart bombs and smart humvees and smart everything is that humans don't fully see the effects of what is going on in the battlefield. how can you fully realize what you are doing to a human being when you are looking at them on a computer screen, through night vision from 200 metres away? i bet if half of those soldiers saw what damage they were doing they would all need to be brought up on cowardice charges.

humans are not supposed to be stone cold in the face of murder.

fuck you army

We needn't be

affraid of corporations, we are the boss of them, not the other way around. trying to avoid corporations in today's world is like trying to live without clothes, sure you could do it, but what fun would that be? especially in the cold of buffalo. instead we just need to pull together and not feel apathy or fear toward them. don't be affraid to call them. they will make you talk to a computer, but screw that, DONT, always wait for a representative. if you don't like what they don't have to say, hang up and boycott their ass. **tell them you will boycott them before you hang up**

don't like the interest rate on your credit card? call them and tell them to lower it, and if they don't, tell them to cancel your card and pay of your balance if you can.

bank charging you overdraft fees? tell them not to do that, that you think its dirty and sneaky. 99% of the time those slimy bank execs are scared enough of losing your business that they will almost pee their pants. even if you don't have a lot of money, a closed account never reflects good and that = pants peeing time. that goes for late fees on credit cards too.

assert yourself to somewhat respectful corporations (they are out there), boycott evil shitty ones (ahem coke, pepsi, warren buffet & bershire hathaway) and life will go just a little bit easier

It has been so long

since i have had to do summer reading. Its unfair because summer is my time to ready MY books, the ones i don't have the time to get into during the school year. It seems bewteen everything i have to do when school is in session, I don't have time for leisure books, even though it would seem like i have the time. I have lots to read, so perhaps i better get on it. Because they are not f'ing around here at ye ole u of b. they are giving an exam on the first day.

I feel bad

for people who think that voting kerry in office will change anything. The same underhanded, sneaky, under-the-table, wink-wink, multi-million, multi-billion, sand bagging, back stabbing, poor stomping deals will happen in secret rooms behind closed doors. a no vote from a registered voter is just the same as a vote for a candidate. it is a vote of no confidence. i have no confidence in our system. i am young, and angry and if i don't see denis kucinich on that ballot that i will write in the name of my friends dad and vote for him.

ps. paul, if your reading this, i am using safari as my browser and the 'random blog' button covers up the drop down menu of names. :(
