They’re listening in on all of us, you know. Scanning for key words. Of course you know, even if you won’t admit it. They want you to know.

People keeping their opinions to themselves– and that’s exactly what they want! The one … Continue reading Re-declaring our Independence!

He is sitting on a grocery bag. He has a beard and scratches on his face, bruises too. He’s crying. He has a dog with scraggly fur and only three legs. I walk to him. He waves at me but with only three fingers. He smiles with black teeth. I ask about the scars. He says it was a cat. I ask why he is not on the street asking for money.

Scientific knowledge … Continue reading Today’s Zanu Pf
My ex girlfriend believed in progress, and thought that humans were on the road to moral perfection. Before she died, she decided that the evidence pointed the other way. We are all hell bent on our own destruction– so full of pointless spite that we’ll blow up the world rather than let some other tribe run it. But I don’t think it’s pointless spite. We … Continue reading My ex believed in progress.

Why am I worried about wiretapping if I haven’t done anything wrong? What have I got to hide? I’m relatively guilt-free as people go, pretty much law-abiding compared to the average. But think: what’s being done with all that “data mining?” PR firms buy it, so they can target their ads. I don’t like being a target for ads. Political consultants use the data to … Continue reading Wiretapping suckers!
