When the elements conspire against you....

you rage, rage, rage against the coming night. And so I rage on...indiscriminate in my understanding. A blade yielding warrior who has been crippled by a corporate yuppie institution. Human beings are not meant to live like this, confined to cubicles, clinging to sanity on minute at a time. What the fuck are we doing here anyway? Making money for someone else. If only the people on top could see there business from the bottom. They have no freaking clue how it operates. Fucking money. How did we as a society allow life to get so fucking expensive? Where the hell is our common sense? We fought wars over taxes but we willingly give our money to Exxon, Coca Cola, and the fucking Gap?

Time and time again reminds us how little of it is really ours. What the fuck? No wonder prisoners are fairly happy. I once read an article about a man who botched a robbery so he could be thrown in the clink because that was a step up in lifestyle. I understand why. He was old, his wife had passed and didn't want to be a burden to his family. Who is going to fuck with a 80 year old in jail? Is this what we are driving to? Wake up you people of the 40 hour week. Wake up against the coming night.

What is the tao? Where has it gone? I sharpen my blade and hope my aim is true, for the coming war will not be swift nor simple. It will be a harsh, drawn out battle of gasping breath fought under the guise of social class. Economic weapons used in a random, unrelenting wave. Meant to take the air your breathing. For it comes from all sides, asking no quarter. Thats fine with me, for I will strike in all directions. No quarter for any who ask, the enemy must be crushed...driven before me. They will understand defeat.

I think Bush said it all when he addressed a group of his supporters as the haves and have mores. I know he was joking, but humor is often founded upon reality.

We imprison addicts when we should be treating them for their addictions. This applies to mainly drug addicts as the drugs are illegal.

Yet we hold in highest esteem addicts of another form. Those addicted to more.

If I am addicted to crack I may rob someone of their TV and I may even kill an individual or two in the process of feeding my addiction.

If I am addicted to more I will steal from the masses and send multitudes to their death.

Gosh Wit, I have to admit, that was really cute. What do you do for an encore? Y'know as many times as I've engaged in the war of ideas with you, I always respected what you had to say, even when I thought it was downright ludicrous. I enjoyed throwing out little barbs, and getting back your little ripostes. You say you're a redneck, I like rednecks, and respect them. You fancy yourself a samaurai, I respect them too. You try to compose Haiku, I can respect that, My wife is Japanese, and it's difficult even for her. Progressive Libertarian, hey I'm still thinking that one over. You strut your stuff about how scholarly and erudite you are, I respect that....But when you refer to me the way you did, you've diminished yourself, bigtime! It's been fun sparring with you, but it's over when you cease to respect in return. I expected better.
