  Valentines Day? Fuck that. Happy unimaginative, consumerist-oriented and entirely arbitrary, manipulative & shallow interpretation of romance day. Wow check the optimism. Everybody has a different idea of love. One girl I know said, 'I knew he loved me when he didn't come in my mouth. - Andy Warhol People should fall in love with their eyes closed. Just close your eyes. Don't look. - Andy Warhol Whats on my mind today? This sums it up. I feel as if I'm growing very nostalgic these days.
I suppose that's typical when we go through major life changes. There is a lot of transition in my life right now. Yet somehow, although I have been thinking very much of things that once were, I am looking forward to what lies ahead. I even feel enthusiastic about what's coming to me - whatever it may be. I am ready now, moreso than I have been. Perhaps this is only because I really don't have any other option than to be ready to move on, but that's not my suspicion. I feel ready because I want to be, not because I have to be. I am ready to move forward in all aspects of my life...and so it shall be. ...sooner or later this cold, its gonna break and my hands will be warm again... Could you explain some things to me.
A. Nukes For Us, Not For You: One of the worst things about this entire mess is that it's predicated on the general assumption that we, the United States, obviously know better than some Arab what's best for the world (and their own country). Which, of course, is utter crap, and anybody who thinks that us Americans somehow know better really need to step back and take a good hard look at our selfish, flabby, infotainment-glutted, macho selves. We don't know what's best, people -- or at least, we don't know any better than anybody else does. And now we've proved it, by throwing around the idea of hitting Iraq with tactical nukes. Wait a minute -- aren't we doing this to liberate Iraq, not turn it into a glassy nuclear wasteland? And aren't we doing this to keep people from using nuclear weapons on one another? So...we're going to deter "rogue nations" from using nuclear weapons by using our own on them -- before they even develop them? Does this sound insane to anybody else out there? Face facts: biological and chemical warfare is bad, but the only -- I repeat, ONLY -- weapons currently in existence that can wipe out life as we know it are nuclear weapons.
We need to make the world see that it's best to not use them, rather than aiming them at anybody who makes us mad. B. Protest the War on Iraq: All over the country and the world tomorrow, Saturday, February 15th, massive peace rallies and marches will take place -- and if you oppose the all-but-decided war on Iraq, you need to attend. To find out where the nearest protest is, you can go here (and believe me, this isn't just limited to the big cities).
C. I read this today... The Mask Comes Off: It's nice when a television talking head gets shot down on his own show. If you hadn't heard, The O'Reilly Factor's Bill O'Reilly recently interviewed Jeremy Glick, the son of Barry Glick, a NY Port Authority worker who lost his life in the World Trade Center. O'Reilly berated Glick for being against the war, "equating" the U.S. with terrorist countries, and, best of all, dishonoring his father's memory. Boy. I can't even really express the full extent of my anger and disgust on this one, folks. O'Reilly attacked the son of a terror victim for speaking his mind and protesting the impending war (and public speech is, by the way, legal in this country), and he did it by saying "I don't think your father would be approving of this. " Please note that Mr. O'Reilly had never met Barry Glick in life, but had no qualms about using this man's memory to push his own agenda. How in the hell would O'Reilly have any idea what Barry Glick would think about his son's stance?
And even more egregious still, how dare he tell Jeremy Glick that he, Bill O'Reilly, obviously knew Jeremy's father's mind better than he did? WHAT WHAT WHAT? Of course, that's the nice thing about martyrs, though, isn't it? The dead can't disagree with you. Funny funny: http://www.masturbateforpeace.com/ Soooooooooooo happy vday.
