The Eye of a Needle

While anarchism may be a romantic delusion of what could be,
contemporary politics are an apologists' delusion of what is

I hurl obscenities at casual acquaintances and spaghetti at my own shirt better than anyone you know. Cold drinks make my old fillings hurt. I get gas like the rest of them, I accidentally gag myself nearly every time I brush my tongue, and I use baby wipes for cleanliness. I am unashamed of all of these admissions, and despite conflicting claims, I'm not made of rhubarb.

How I'm Voting on Arizona's Ballot Propositions

I'm voting NO across the board.

Why? Do some research and you'll find that, with the exception of 102 which is sponsored by bigots, all our state's ballot propositions are sponsored solely by the industries and corporations that they will ultimately benefit. None of them are actually grassroots efforts proposed by and for the benefit of the people of the state of Arizona. In fact, the three proposals that were grassroots efforts, the ones that could have actually benefited the state, couldn't collect enough signatures to make it onto the ballot.

Of course, corporations have plenty of money to hire people to go door to door, and so you can rest assured that most of the propositions on any of the ballots across the United States will benefit corporations directly or indirectly and not the people of their respective states.

Want my advice? Vote NO on every Arizona ballot proposition. You'll be doing the people of our state a favor.

Are You Proud of Yourselves?

So tomorrow, you idiots are going to take one of the banking and credit card industries' best friends in the senate and vote him into an office that's a heartbeat away from the presidency, and you're going to do it because you were too lazy to bother looking into his voting record or the people with whom he rubs elbows. And you thought that all of the Republicans and Democrats voting for the bailout package was a bad idea? Wait until you see what they do when they're in office. What is wrong with you people?
