Talking with a friend about a recent flight he described the bottlenecks caused by the security measures in the airport. He said the 'checkpoint' was backed up for at least fifteen minutes. I never thought Id hear anyone use the term 'checkpoint' in relation to anything within the boarders of this country. Please don't let fear win.

to quote the title of a great band, the "usa is a monster". its an all consuming mass of megalomania and self-service. so we can either jump on board to feed the monkey, embracing the invasion of privacy for what its billed as, kissing our basic human freedoms away to ensure our ridiculous lives of leisure at the expense of 7/8 of the world, OR sit and fester like a boil on society, publishing our neo-left wing pamphlets and living off food stamps. until we gather up the nerve to move to a more desirable democracy, only to find that we aren't really wanted anywhere we'd consider BETTER. as for me, I've given up on living in a country that reflects my own compassion and acceptance of different cultures/religions/ideas/sexual prefrerences/etc. but fuck them i'm still here, and i still have my beliefs. now that there is such a binary difference i can feel like a real swell human being (through contrast). and that thought alone is empowering enough for me to want to create and do my own kind of missionary work. and if the apocalypse does come like the christian right says, well then it will at least have a good soundtrack, thanks to my i pod of course.
