In reply to this comment by beggedpea: Don't blow it, poet. Beat the beatnik until he coughs up a lung and a verse about young love and degraded capitalist warranties that warrant removal from society with upheaval of an anarchic variety.
I was searching YouTube for some of my favorite old songs to post and you know, like, contribute something here besides a smart-assed remark...and every single song that I loved, you had already posted.

Tax the shit out of anyone making more than 30 million USD a year.
99% on every dollar over that mark.
El problemo solved.

And, bank-wise, I have no problem letting banks loan money that they do not have, just as long as they do not demand money from people who do not have it.
>> ^longde: So I think it's correct to assert the true shape of the earth has been known since at least the greeks, but not that is was widely or generally believed.
That's a good point, but we shouldn't confuse a circle with a sphere.
Fair enough. But you have to admit, it's two different worlds. I'm in Roswell, NM. Aside from the celestial alien problem, we have a crime rate that is disturbingly high, and cops who are sometimes not very thoughtful, because they're underpaid and overworked. Hate to say it, but true.
Ace up there noted that I noticed, as did millions of other people, that a man set himself afire in order to draw attention to an injustice...so I guess his effort was a success...in as much as it drew attention. Did it solve the problem that he gave his life to protest against? Probably not.
That's a pretty big deal, to have that kind of dedication, to believe in something so strongly that you would voluntarily suffer one of the most cruelest fates known to man.
I'm not being cheeky, but the closest thing I can think of is when Data gave his life for Picard.
Vietnam was the prototype to Iraq and Afghanistan. And our country, the USA, is in a lot of trouble because we are watching people rob us blind and we are powerless to stop it because our government is inept and corrupt beyond remediation.
The war machine learned quickly, while the best that we can do is sit around and bitch.

im taking a vow of celibacy and poverty.
its good for the soul.
get facebook. or atleast gmail shit.
You are one of my best and favorite buddies and I don't even know who the hell you are.
You crack me up. You infuriate me.
But...for my sake...don't hurt yourself.
I would cry my eyes out if you were gone.
Celibacy is over-rated. Poverty is, well, far too easy for the likes of us.
Facebook? What is that? G...mail?
