People who appear toughest, hurt the most because they haven't got an outlet to let it all out.
Ducks are one of few animals other than humans which engage in gang rape.
Sexual activity clears the sinuses.
Everyone today is trying to escape from their lives. Why can't we just fix the world we live in?
The Church fears sex because hormones cause man to disobey the Church's rules.
There is no truth, only perception.
When people die in movies and whatnot they always say they have no regrets. Bull shit. I can think of forty or fifty right off the bat.
Pollution is slowly killing us all, yet we continue to buy SUV's and burn fossil fuels.
Let me tell you from someone who knows: ignorance is not bliss. Have you ever gotten lost in a foreign country? Well when you do, go on and tell me if it's bliss or not.
The greatest books and movies of all time are quite long.
Ignorance IS bliss for those who want to fool you.
No god of mine would ever smite man.
How many manifestos out there are not controversial? That said, I want to write a manifesto. Just because.
The greatest politicians realize the true potential of their power and don't ever run for any office.
Fear is blinding, yes. Happiness is too. As is greed. And jealousy. And pain can be as well. Rage. Anger. Vengeance. They're all blinding. Now don't you see why man is blind.
The greatest person in the history of the world was probably killed. And if not yet, will soon be.
Humanity is a parasite yes, but parasites don't usually feed off each other as well.
The world will only end when we let it.
Give love a chance... and then cop it one on the head and make for the quick-dry cement shoes.
I have a pill to make your ears larger and I'll sell it to you for six bucks a bottle. I have another pill that'll make your middle finger larger so as to better your salute. Ten bucks a bottle. Oh, think that's absurd? Well, I've got a pill to make your penis larger too. Thirty bucks a bottle.
The cement in Hoover Dam will not be fully dry in your lifetime.
If every person in the world moved to one side of the globe and simultaneously jumped, the resultant tremor of our planet would dislodge it by less than the width of a hair.
Jeez people, make something in the U.S. again, please. I don't care what it is; I'll buy it; just make the damn thing!
Why do we continue to insist to hurt each other? Wouldn't everything be so much better if we all just agreed to leave each other alone?
What IS war good for?
We only hurt because we care. If we didn't care about someone or something, it wouldn't hurt at all.
Why do we really care what others think of us?
You take the high road, I'll take the low road, and I'll be in Scotland better off than you.
Why do I expect to understand the big questions in life when I can't even solve basic math equations?
Here's a word we could do without: ire
...And another: grizzled
...And still another: qat
...And that's all I've got tonight.

Until November!
So, we'll be waiting until after the November elections to find out if the proposed same-sex marriage ban will be on the ballots. All the better. Time is certainly an ally of GLBT's and their supporters. Perhaps just this once, yes the political process does work.
Remember though, when the time comes it is your responsibility to get out there and vote for equal rights. This is more important than watching re-runs of Seinfeld, possibly the most important vote that will come about in our lifetimes. Be a part of it. And remember, odds are, that by the time you are a grandparent, one of your progeny will be GLBT. Would you like to be the one to look into their eyes and tell them that you were part of the reason they don't have the right to legally marry the one they love?
If that doesn't help then let me ask one question. How do you know you're straight? Are you sure? I mean what tells you that you are in fact straight? Whatever it is, it's the same thing that tells others that they are not. So deal with it.

This Week's News, July 10th 2006
Massachusetts SJC ruled that if the legislature decides to put a same-sex marriage amendment on the November ballot then it would be legal to do so. Well, I can't help but be nervous about this one, but I'm still optimistic. As many of you already know my views on same-sex marriage, I will not rant here and now. Perhaps Wednesday after the legislature makes their decision.
Manhattan building blows up, gas leak suspected. Not terrorism related. Well at least it wasn't terrorism, I wouldn't think that Bush's ratings could go lower.
Iraq now semi-officially in civil war.I kinda thought that started three years ago. Bureaucracy, heh. It makes everything so complicated.
Boy drowns trying to save two other boys at a charity picnic.Well that just sucks. (Slow news week)

The Bush Beating Around the Bush
I would like to say yes yet again another twisted press conference, but I can't. I could count the number of our President's press conferences on my fingers. You see he talks and talks, yet digging himself deeper into the floor. And I laugh and laugh. Hypocrisy abounds my friends. He won't answer hypothetical questions involving North Korea but will on Iran. Why? Because North Korea is far and away stronger than Iran. We could not in truth run a war in Afghanistan, Iraq, and then North Korea. It's not possible. We don't have the money. We don't have the resources. And we most certainly don't have the man power.
Then he talks about how he cares for the people of North Korea. And the AIDS victims in Africa and the refugees of Darfur. Yet our President has cut funding to birth control and sexual education in Africa, the only way to stop AIDS before it starts. All because we should believe in abstinence only techniques. Guess what, adults above children, will not accept abstinence. It's just foolish. Without real education more people will contract AIDS and more money will be needed to help these people later, whether in AIDS drugs or in moneys needed to stabilize the area after an entire generation of men and women die of an insipid disease.
Apparently it is unfair to give a timetable of withdrawal from Iraq, not to our cause, to our troops? That's what he said. Please explain this. Tell me that our troops are smart enough to understand that they are not mechanical puppets but actual people who deserve to be brought home safely, that their lives are their own and not the property of a lackluster, Elmer Fudding Commander and Chief.

"I am committed to the spread of liberty, because that's how we're founded." -President Bush, Press Conference 7-7-06, Chicago.
Personally I don't see why we should force our ways on other people. True we did it ourselves, but that's the point. WE DID IT OURSELVES. We didn't have someone invade our country, strip it of natural resources, and then leave it in disrepair.
***
And now, our saying that we shouldn't work in Iraq alone is considered elitist by our Commander and Chief. Isn't that cute.
***
He speaks of "universal rights of men and women" when talking about liberty. Yet we imprison people without trial or evidence, without lawyer and without question. We dive into another's country and pull people out to our secret prisons.
***
"The cause is noble and necessary."
It is noble to invade other countries to "spread freedom". Well not freedom really, just our brand of it. And in doing so we give up our own rights at home. I don't know about you but I have a different view of what's noble. And what's not noble is war. Then there's necessary, a vague term, very vague, necessary for what. For stability? Surely not. For a radical view of our brand of democracy? Evidently. That's what it is you know. Radical. his view of our democracy is radical bordering on authoritarian. Pathetic.
***
And last, but not particularly in order, our addiction to oil. I just love it how we people, and you know who we is, talked about outsourcing jobs, oil addiction, global warming, etc. and they didn't believe us. We were quacks. We didn't know what we were talking about. And now, oh wait, we do have an addiction to oil, we are outsourcing jobs, oh and the earth is warming beyond the shadow of a doubt. Yet some radicals still won't believe us.
Ideas travel slowly my friends, very slowly. These things take time, and unlike Bush's strategy in Iraq and North Korea, we will win you over whether you like it or not. In fact, I won't be surprised if yet again you think you came up with it first.
Bush says that we're making progress on energy independence, we are not.
He says we are making progress in Iraq and Afghanistan, we are not.
He says we are making diplomatic progress with Iran and North Korea, we are not. Whatcha gonna do then, invade? Let's look at what's happened in Iraq and Afghanistan first.

Our president is confined by his archaic beliefs and should not be allowed to lead a donkey nevermind our country. The future of our country is liberal, especially compared to his radical, reactionary, democratic-in-name-alone, autocratic values.
