11:16 am - An open letter the OWS movement everywhere:
I am so proud of you. What a refreshing change from people that talk to see a bunch of young people actually *doing* something... trying to make a difference. I applaud you, I am one of you, and I realize that the fight is far from being over. I have something to say, however, that you wont like. I don't like it myself, but it needs to be said.
Unfortunately, the OWS movement here in Portland, has picked up every street person and drug addict that is looking for a place to stay. They shit where they eat, sell meth there, harass film crews and people that walk by. This is hurting the cause because the voices of the well educated civic activists is being drowned out by the activities of the people that are just there because they have nothing better to do. This is too bad, because our Mayor has been giving us the space we need to protect our rights to free speech, but during a march last week, one of these "protesters" tried to push a bicycle cop in front of a passing bus. Couple that with the self-proclaimed "anarchists" who have no idea what the term means, and are not willing to look it up in a dictionary out of fear that it will mean he can't bash bank windows with their skateboards, and you see a movement that started out for all the right reasons but will go down in history for all the wrong ones.
Create you own security crew. Don't let the squeaky wheel get all the grease. They are going to make the assholes at FOX, who see us as a bunch of disorganized hippies wishing for a handout right.
We have an opportunity here. Let's not let a few criminals fuck it up for the rest of us.

"To obtain these advantages of security and freedom is the object of all proper government; and it is not only the right of every man for himself, but his duty to his neighbor, to refuse obedience to any authority which does not serve its people to this end with loyalty and fidelity." Aleister Crowley. 1915 Declaration of the Irish Republic

03:51 pm - On Mothers Day
Mother's Day was originally started after the Civil War, as a protest to the carnage of that war, by women who had lost their sons. Here is the original Mother's Day Proclamation from 1870, followed by a bit of history. Please feel free to pass this on to other moms.
............
Arise, then, women of this day! Arise all women who have hearts, whether our baptism be that of water or of fears!
Say firmly: "We will not have great questions decided by irrelevant agencies. Our husbands shall not come to us, reeking with carnage, for caresses and applause. Our sons shall not be taken from us to unlearn all that we have been able to teach them of charity, mercy and patience.
We women of one country will be too tender of those of another country to allow our sons to be trained to injure theirs. From the bosom of the devastated earth a voice goes up with our own. It says "Disarm, Disarm! The sword of murder is not the balance of justice."
Blood does not wipe our dishonor nor violence indicate possession. As men have often forsaken the plow and the anvil at the summons of war, let women now leave all that may be left of home for a great and earnest day of counsel. Let them meet first, as women, to bewail and commemorate the dead.
Let them then solemnly take counsel with each other as to the means whereby the great human family can live in peace, each bearing after their own time the sacred impress, not of Caesar, but of God.
In the name of womanhood and of humanity, I earnestly ask that a general congress of women without limit of nationality may be appointed and held at some place deemed most convenient and at the earliest period consistent with its objects, to promote the alliance of the different nationalities, the amicable settlement of international questions, the great and general interests of peace.
Julia Ward Howe
Boston
1870

02:01 pm - Public Service Announcement
Public Service Announcement: File this under "Chinese Companies that exist to rip off Americans." BTW: their "100% guarantee is not honored." In fact the only think you are guaranteed is to be ripped off.

I borrowed this from a new friend. File under "things that make you go hhhhmmm."
The real reason God destroyed Sodom, not the reason your fundamentalist preachers and friends tell you: "Behold, this was the guilt of your sister Sodom: she and her daughters had arrogance, abundant food and careless ease, but she did not help the poor and needy."--Ezekiel 16:49 (NASB) Sound familiar?

01:48 am - My Religion
My religion is not subject to corruption any more than the immutable laws of nature. My gods cannot be desecrated and any attempt to do so instantly puts the offender in the most dire predicament one might imagine. My Religion is the Mother of all religion. It is pure and unbending, unaffected by the whims and desire of man.

01:41 pm - Who is really to blame?
Who is to blame, really? If you reduce everything down to its lowest common denominator we find that corporations are a small part of the problem. The largest, most responsible parties to the plunder by far are the stockholders, who talk a great game about environmental responsibility and human rights so long as those stocks perform badly, but trip over their own cocks in the frenzy to buy them when they are churning out cash.
