The comment in the Salon article about "the coolest special effects ever" - yeah, I remember having that one, too. And "I need to scrounge up some money and buy some more stock." I was in small-town Kansas that day dealing with some family things before my REAL vacation began. It wasn't a bad place to be.

that was the day the straussians began emptying hallucinogenics into the water supply.

Unfortunately, it is the good things about America that made her a target for terrorism. Fundamentalists despise freedom. Every freedom that is taken away is a victory for those who attacked. Victory for America can only be achieved through the enhancement of the very things that made her a target.

before this journal entry disappears beneath tomorrow's, i must point something out to a man i admire. there is no such thing as "live-and-let-live" when one's own moneys, chiefly in the form of TAXES, are financing the imperial crushing of people all around the globe. one is not a bystander but an accomplice in those crimes and directly responsible. it doesn't f-ing matter what your personal approach to daily living is-- you are financing the prussian boot. the flower child who empties his pockets for the pentagon is a pathetic creature. i know-- i do it year after year. http://www.warresisters.org/2004_piechart.pdf okay, i'll shut up.

I know some people who have done the witholding war tax thing for a number of years. I admire their principles, but I guess I'm too much of a middle-class conformist(albeit a very left-leaning one) to jump in and do it myself.

Oh dear Lord, now I am middle class AND pathetic. My only comfort is that some of those tax dollars come back to me through my clients, since I am happy to see Medicaid patients.
