Re: LOOK! When you steal music, to overproduce prophetic, illegal HITS, from Nixon's warrentless wiretaps, don't lord it over Reagan's punkers, and come back to America: (in News that affects our Freedom) huh? I know the Bwerkeley addresses to which Bob refers, both just south of campus near Telegraph Ave. but nothing else in ehre makes sense.

I had other stuff i was going to write about here, plus I have some papers due for my environmental biology class, but I'm really stewing over this idiot mother, well, she's probably mentally ill herself but more on that to follow, in Arkansas (what a freakin' stereotype) who made the news by calling the cops on her "unruly" little girl...yes, a little girl who according to reports is 10 eyars old and weighs maybe 65 pounds, who was screaming and crying instead of taking a shower.

if you are not already a marge Piercy fan...sometimes her writing is uneven but at it;s ... read more

it's Friday night and I really should observe something of an electronic Sabbath. beyond that, i need a little hint of renewal.

a bunch of minor stressors today.

I generally call myself a "freelance nonviolent social critic" or, in less formal company, a "freelance nonviolent troublemaker" because the term "pacifist" has these kind of drippy connotations despite its really inspiring history, including my late mentor and friend Dave Dellinger (author of a highly recommended book called ... read more
