1. Did you support President Bush's decision to invade Iraq in 2003?
If yes, and knowing what you know today, would you change your answer?
Nope, even my newly "republican" grandma didn't like that one.

2. Do you think this Administration deliberately overstated the threat posed by Saddam in 2002 in making its claim to Congress? (ref. Gulf of Tonkin resolution, 1964).
Yeah, of course, rich politicians have their own agendas.

3. Almost as many people were killed by Katrina as were killed in 9/11. Do you think the reaction of this Administration has been even-handed to these two events? If not, why not?
No, it ain't the same. I hoped for a war on nature but that's a war that takes time. It's more immediate to wage a war on other people. Some says it's about the oil but I think it's about the people because they are the most valuable natural resource.

4. Do you think the enmasse wiretapping of phonecalls of American citizens by the Administration that has been revealed recently was illegal?
No, the patriot act made it legal, right? Yes, this is a fucked country where the government can do anything. Did I mention I work for the state? Why doesn't it apply to me as an individual? shit!

5. Do you think gays should have the right to marry?
No, nobody should. What the hell is marriage anyway? People should have the right to stay together if they want, no papers attached.

6. Do you support a woman's right to unhindered access to abortion?
Yes. If the world were a little less fucked up women might feel better bringing their kids into it, aka, destroy the patriarchy!

7. Do you support the idea of mandatory prayer in schools? If yes, would you support a Muslim Imam leading the prayers in your child(ren)'s school?
No, that should be a choice, at the same time there is little choice, you're kind of born into that religious shit. The first institution is family, then religion, school and govt. You can switch around the last three but the first is right on... unless you go to foster home.

8. Do you support the right of a person to grow a little bit of pot in
his/her home and consume it as s/he sees it fit? Assume the same
laws about DUI, DWI, etc. apply.
Come on. I support the right of meth users to kill themselves with the drug.

9. Do you support the idea of a national healthcare system? Why, or why not?
I don't know. Seeing as how I'm I debtor and not much of a moneymaker this rule doesn't matter so much. I don't have health insurance, at least not that I know of and I have to say it's a pain in my ass. I need to go to the dentist, you know? At the same time I don't want to take money from the proletariat who is wasting their life to put food on the table.

10.For self-identified Democrats/Republicans/Libertarians/Greens alike: would your answers to any of the questions 1-4 above be different if the President was (or was not, if you're Republican) from your party?
If yes, which ones and why?
N/A

my good old dad sent me this, hahaha.
not really...
i don't know if it's funny.
I am mad at mrs. clinton because of the damn chemicals that make my cigarette go out and taste like shit so... i guess it is funny.

in the mean time I'm supposted to go do things today but I'm so tired and lazy with papers to write. I may go to nyc tomorrow, not sure yet but it's looking that way. Should I go on a quest to find tk while there? Arzu and Oz will come as well.

republican, democrat....
who gives a flying fuck,
big generalizations in a fake democracy.

I've been awake to long. Let's all become radical leftist or better yet just radicals. That's more fun.

I just got the oldest Ma Rainey record and it is off the chain!

My Apt. is a fucking wreck. I need a clear space and poster board to make a thesis outline. The dilemma is all of the sources and finding what they relate to.
I enjoy this Dada Manifesto by Tristan Tzara because of

I'm writing this manifesto to show that you can perform contrary actions at the same time, in one single, fresh breath; I am against action; as for continual contradiction, and affirmation too, I am neither for nor against them, and I won't explain myself because I hate common sense.


For me it's important make connections between things which aren't related. The title of my thesis is "the Barest Threads" I will be writing about class, gender, race, regions, nations and dialect but the title is also a reference to the strings that hold my edits together. Some of the things I'm looking for are the threads that travel through all of my work.
I wonder is their anything new that i like? I'm also reading Nietzsche's "The Use and Abuse of History." If only I weren't continuously distracted by this damn machine.
