(A stream-of-consciousness bit from me. Take from it what you will.)
Hate. Hate is a feeling. It is strong. It is violent. And you are its target.
You who would call me "better" for having been an ignorant fool
You who would rather resort to punishment than logic
You who wants your ideals to be impressed on me.
I want to be free. I want to be myself. You have authority. You say no. I can't believe that at one time I thought you were right. I can't believe I was so stupid -- stupid -- so stupid it hurts -- holy ******** it's so stupid - you made me stupid you said I was smart. All you wanted was for me to be ignorant. To be good. To be a nice Christian boy who abided by the law and was a successful lawyer. ******** THAT. I'm an agnostic son of a b***h who would rather die than uphold your petty unnecessary laws and your realm of ignorance. Thought is power. Knowledge is true strength. Yet you would rather see me as holding ignorance to be strong, not knowing the truth about the world and about laws. You want me to be the perfect you. ******** you and your perfection. ******** your God, ******** your morals, ******** your power, ******** everything. I hate you. I hate you. I hate you. I hate you I hate you I hate you I hate you. I hate you. I hate you forever. I hate you. I could never say "I hate you" enough to accurately express how much I hate you. All I want is to see you die, to see you out of my life, all I want is for you to ******** OFF and leave me alone. I liked it better when you did, anyway.
I was never better than this. Don't say I am. Oh no, now you call me arrogant...look who's talking. Seriously. You know nothing but your lies and you call me arrogant. I'm arrogant because I can think? Because I do my reading? Oh, no, it's all propaganda, right? No it's no...oh, now you do your worst. That old trick, huh. When outclassed, abandon logic and resort to Argumentum Ad Baculum. Very nice. Got me in a corner now - I can't logic my way out of it because you do wield power. ******** you. Seriously, ******** you.
I don't care what's for dinner. ******** you.
What I want is for you to die. Or just leave me in peace. Either way, I'll be happy.
Just die. Oh, in case you didn't get it, by the way?
I hate you.

The Theory of Neo-Conservatism |
|
|
|
|
|
|
"He who controls the present controls the past, he who controls the past controls the future."
A key quote from 1984 fully illustrates the theory behind Neo-Conservative movements rooted in the "Moral Majority" and like-minded politicians. The reasoning is simple: the utilization of laissez-faire economic policy in order for the upper class to increase their profit margin, with the use of authoritarian social policy in order to crush the lower classes and hopefully prevent a workers' revolution. The upper class wishes to literally halt the world in place by returning to values held at the time of the Industrial Revolution and before, as the motion of the world would detract from their ability to make money by having favor shift toward the worker rather than to the executive. The greatest examples of laissez-faire policy are in the implementation of Reaganomics (massive tax cuts to the upper bracket), and the concept of a flat-rate income tax (see the "FairTax" wink to lessen the tax burden of the upper class. Social service programs such as universal healthcare are extremely frowned upon, as those policies help the workers and cause the taxes imposed on the upper class to rise - furthermore, it prevents rich executives in the insurance industry from making money as they no longer are able to provide health insurance, as health insurance begins to become unnecessary.
Accusations of the workers "freeloading" are merely smoke and mirrors - the rich simply wish to demonize those who would reduce their profit margin ever so slightly. With the power of mass media, it is easy for the rich to spread their views and impose them on the people through the use of media propaganda - this has happened in the past, what with the strong effect of both the first Red Scare and the later influence of McCarthyism, which still appears to be a subtle influence in American politics, with overt examples as late as the Reagan administration's view of communism as an "evil empire". Mass ignorance of current situations is also used to promote the image of social democratic policies as encouraging "freeloading"; many people who cite this will do so in extreme ignorance of current economic situations and the cost of living, citing how it is easy to get a job yet overlooking the impossibility of supporting oneself on minimum wage, which most low-level jobs provide - minimum wage was even outright stated by recent Republican Party (in recent times known for being very laissez-faire and very authoritarian) presidential candidate John McCain as "not being a family wage". This of course raises the question of why the minimum wage should not be raised in order to allow the workers to sustain themselves. The answer? Class separation. Raising the minimum wage brings about a level playing field, creating more equal opportunity for advancement, opportunity that the High do not want to exist as they wish to remain the High, and allowing the Middle and Low equal opportunity for advancement would undermine the status and power of the High.
The United States' educational system, with the broken policy of No Child Left Behind (reducing funding to schools that do poorly on standardized tests) in conjunction with the funding policy whereby schools are allocated funds based on property values in the area rather than each single school in the country being allocated an equal amount of funds will create a spiral, in which the poorer children go to schools in poorer areas, schools that lack funds and materials and thus must teach bare minimums in order to maintain standards and not lose more funding due to the policy of NCLB. The end result is less opportunity for students in these schools to obtain post-secondary scholarships and thus less opportunity for post-secondary education (barring sports scholarships), and thus the poorer students must work menial jobs and remain poor even if they finish high school, which may not be possible if the student must drop out in order to work and support their family, which further lessens their opportunities. Meanwhile, the rich can afford to send their children to public schools, and those children thus earn better opportunities for post-secondary education and overall better opportunities to remain rich, perpetuating the status quo of "the rich get richer while the poor get poorer".

Three men through one door Three men through the other All six to the table at center Two sitting One standing Watched over by a seventh
The seventh man produces a paper to the sitting one on the right He takes a pen and reads it Then signs the bottom The men accompanying him sign as well The man on the left then reads and nods Understanding, he signs As do the men with him
Known to them all, a crowd watches through blind glass Waiting for the moment of truth The moment of reality As the seventh man places the paper behind him They watch in silence as the man on the left produces an instrument and places it to the neck of the man on the right The center man speaks and the other men nod and it is seen in silence as the man on the right falls dead six months before his time

Vancouver Canucks season: October 5, 2006 - May 3, 2007
We lost, on a horrible goal, to Anaheim.

I'm keeping this fortune. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
My grandpa got Chinese food for my grandma today, and there were of course fortune cookies. So I got up a few minutes ago for a midnight snack, and decided to take a fortune cookie.
The fortune? Your dearest wish will come true.
This makes me so amazingly happy. I usually don't get very good fortunes, but this one just makes me feel so wonderful and hopeful. I'm going to keep it. I even held it in my fist (left hand, as I'm left-handed) and spoke to said fist what my dearest wish was. I won't say it here, and I won't tell you if you're right if you take a guess, but if you know me well enough, you should know what it is. I know at least one person (you know who you are) who does.
For those of you who wanted to know my lucky numbers: 6, 9, 14, 26, 36, 46. Too bad I'm not 19, or I'd buy myself a lottery ticket.
