Let me begin this by saying that someone should really turn off the AC in here! No, I'm not at my house (read: igloo) but the Double R Cyber Cafe, Ruth is kind enough to let me take up computer space for free for about two hours until Mom comes to pick me up. I'm looking forward to a Clif bar at the Weight Room, I'm starved. I got these weird spring roll things at Super Cao Nguyen, but they weren't very good - they put mint or something in with the lettuce and it tastes funky. I'll stick to other Vietnamese vegan goodies, thank you.

Chris' blog posts got me thinking about politics (and about people who can't articulate their thoughts so they fill blank spaces with swearing...lovely world, eh?). I guess the people who read this know that my political beliefs are sort of not on the map, not on the left or right but probably closer to Libertarian than Authoritarian. But I'm starting not to care so much, maybe i'm discouraged. But governments are silly and corrupted half the time, revolutions are squashed unless, of course, they too are corrupted, opposing the government in even the most miniscule of ways seems to be cause for silencing, whether physical or by discrediting, jail time, etc. I don't think that anything short of a nuclear or atomic bomb will set the USA (or any other country, mind you) right [and don't say Jesus' return because I've already thought of that and that ends all earthly governance] and I doubt that anything I, or anyone else, could come with would do much better. The world would be great if it weren't for we humans...what I envision is a world, and I suppose it is utopia or something near it, where people share things in common - there are no official leaders, money is done away with and bartering comes back into play, people have "their" stuff but they aren't too keen to be stingy about it. No one is really poorer than someone else, services are traded, too. Everyone can do something...yeah utopic blabber I know, but it does sound appealing, aye?

Well |
