jews hate freedom? buddhists hate freedom? muslims...well...okay, maybe drop the crescent moon?

9/21 - sick all day, if not as a dog, then at least as a puppy - snot n' sneezing - still, the last day of summer.... - mist-drops on the windshield after school, should i risk the drive? - a barren lot, the rock to meself - cruising to the corner - boooooooooty! 10 laps this week already, holy shit, at this rate in a year, if i could beg off rain, peregrines n' whatnot i could have 500!

what's the max free rating do you think for a suck-ass aider? looks like a sick setting but i'm mostly madeout of bubble-gum

what's more important, what you think before you meet a dude, or after you've met the dude? the mind creates patterns, even where patterns don't exist, so in that sense being prejudiced is natural consciously re-evaluating the patterns your mind's made does seem to be an important part of being a decent human being though that said, all experience hath shown, you should never buy hippie drugs from black people

pedophiles are also great people I have heard, as long as they don't play with your kids. wtf? a racist is an ignorant fuckwad, not some great person, period. people are complicated, and i hate racists, but i must recognize that my grandfather, who was a warm, friendly, generous, ww2 veteran, etc. kinda guy was also thoroughly prejudiced against blacks, hispanics, etc. was he the greatest man ever? of course not. was he a fuckwad that shoulda been turned into soylent green? nope too...

i haaaaate the huge loose blocks you have to aid on p4 after traversing under the roof and passing above...

vesper was fun and all but the first couple feet of p1 were easy, easy 5th - c2c is easy, but i took beer n' smokes n' a bag and had a blast bivying on the summit, you can work your way back down and run laps on the upper slab which is wicked fun...

Yes, bring on the Death Panels!! jesus, who does't like soylent green?!? now in ranch, bbq and jewish flavors! triage is part of life...

french notions of liberal democracy have always had their curious clauses

Falstaff said (of himself) in Henry IV: "If sack and sugar be a fault, God help the wicked! if to be old and merry be a sin, then many an old host that I know is damned: if to be fat be to be hated, then Pharaoh's lean kine are to be loved. No, my good lord; banish Peto, banish Bardolph, banish Poins: but for sweet Jack Falstaff, kind Jack Falstaff, true Jack Falstaff, valiant Jack Falstaff, and therefore more valiant, being, as he is, old Jack Falstaff, banish not him thy Harry's company, banish not him thy Harry's company: banish plump Jack, and banish all the world." how you can hate that rogue or rogues?

you make it seem simple obviously there's a buncha fat fucks out there, and a buncha different stories poor folk are of course more like to be fat to be fat then is to commit the capital crime of being poor i'm not poor, but i sure have taught plenty of poor folk hard to get your ass to the gym when you can't afford a gym and you're working most every hour you can get at a shit minimum wage job hard to give a shit what you look like when you're depressed to core at the shitty world you surrounded by sure, a lot of those folks make shit decisions to wind up w/ the shit job/life, but being born comes w/ plenty of inertia - by the time you're a sentient being you've often made so many shit decisions you don't have much room to move pretty easy to subsist on shitty food when you're budget doesn't accommodate shopping at whole foods pretty easy to smoke n' drink n' stuff microwave burritos in your face when you're whole life's a lie... sure, choice or the illusion of choice universal healthcare in somalia must be way cheaper!

goddammit!

Now that's a fucking party! i can only assume it's the virgin mary who's taking the picture?

holy shit, you sure the daily currant ain't a sister-rag of The Onion?

jeebus, must be nice to be a decent rock climber?

i don't get how it does't make sense, brudda? - as mentioned way back there in the beginning of this bedraggled whore of a thread, the "official story" has AQ already making a large # of attacks on the usa over a period of years prior to 9/11 (including on the WTC, and receiving missile strikes in afghanistan from us in response) - so 9/11 doesn't come out of a clear blue sky - a # of intelligence reports hint in the weeks and months ahead of a possible attack using planes - a buncha homeboys get on airliners all taking off about the same time w/ simple weapons - pilots n' crew, used to hostage taking terrorists, don't put up much a fight - crazy mother-fuckers crash into symbols of The Great Satan's economic and military might that doesn't make sense (beyond the fact that it's some shit a well-fed, well-fucked honkey would never be too tempted to do?)

aren't fish mostly made out of asshole already? how's this'er product gonna be any different from fish-sauce (which is mighty tasty after getting over the initial sensation of having to retch )

so long as you're dogging on hispanics, might as well look down south to ole mexico, where in fact they have extremly strict term limit rules - has it done much to fix corruption? conventional wisdom is it hasn't, and might in fact even have increased it, since 1-term wonders have no time to learn, are more likely to take orders from the machine, and are far more dependent on that machine to take care of them... my dad was an o-5, and that seems a reasonable pay for a congressman

the party of lincoln has become the party of former slave-owners, so no big suprise, right?

more than half of congress are millionaries and so the pay really doesn't mean much anyway - in fact, the less gov service pays, teh more likely you are to make its members aristocrats, no?

i can only assume you forgot the obvious fact that essentially 100% of people pay sales taxes, state taxes, and a whole host of other fees n' taxes, local/state/federal, all of which support and go to pay for services they consume? it's dipshit politics b/c those who say or believe it are saying that half the country doesn't do shit to help pay the bills which...is...not..true.

i love a good protest ...

jesus, half the kids in my class are sneez'n'coughing - got a baaaaad feeling i'm heading toward head-cold myself at this hour

9/19 - had only an hour of time to play between the end of school and the start of back-to-school night and union rabble-rousing, but managed to storm out to beacon at warp speed and do the first lap i've ever thought to actually time - 32:10 (dog measured), parking lot to parking lot - ran into an old student on the run down - claims to work at a pizza joint these days and sure looks like it
