The students should have risen up and torn those officers limb from limb and scattered their bleeding arms and legs across the campus green.
Here’s some more footage, close up.
Check out the smile on the cop’s face after tasering the guy.
America is over. Go home.
Dear Department of Homeland Security,
I am a threat to the security of America. I am writing to you to request that, for the safety of America and its citizens, you add to me to your No-Fly List.
I am a terrorist you see. I believe in America.
I believe in freedom. I believe in individual liberty. I believe in privacy. I believe that the government that governs least, governs best. I believe that the government should leave its citizens alone.
On all these counts I am clearly a threat to the security of America. Only the unthinking automaton, the great unwashed and brainwashed, the cud-chewing herd are not a threat. Those of us who think and write are a threat to the established order, because we question. We want to know why.
Why is America spying on its citizens? Why is America listening to its citizens’ phone calls, collecting every email ever sent in gigantic databases at a huge facility just outside of Washington DC.?. Why are there massive phone taps on every undersea cable leading into and out of America? Why does America require that cell phone operators be able to triangulate 95% of their customers, or face heavy fines?
Why is the government watching us?
Because of terrorism, we are told. Terrorists want to destroy our freedom.
But it is not terrorists who are taking away our freedom. It is the government of the United States of America.
A people that give up essential liberty for temporary safety, said Benjamin Franklin, deserve neither liberty nor safety.
I am guilty, and for the safety of my fellow Americans I therefore must insist on my immediate inclusion on your no-fly list. I am clearly a threat to the ongoing security of America.
Thank you, and I look forward to being denied boarding at the earliest opportunity.
Kind Regards
Half an hour ago at around 21:10 local time a tremor shook, or rather gently wiggled, most of Cali for twenty seconds or so. Can’t find any news reports about it yet, but I expect it’s a continued regional aftershock of the much larger earthquake last month in Peru.
Well if you’re still a slave to the Microsoft Empire (close ally to the Starbucks Empire — yes, the world really is ruled from Seattle) then you’re stuck using Microsoft Word.
I’m sorry. Really I am. Tummy rub?
Back up, better plan — Sun Microsystem’s ODF plugin for Microsoft Office.
Microsoft Office uses a proprietary document format unreadable by other programs. If you’ve got documents saved in .doc format, the only people able to read your files will be those who have a copy of Microsoft Office. This forces other people to pay Microsoft money just so you can exchange documents. This is a form of coercion: Microsoft’s technical design damages your freedom to choose a competing product.
By using Sun’s ODF filter for all your documents, you’ll be able to interchange documents with people who prefer to use office suites like OpenOffice that use ODF, the ISO-approved document format standard.
For that matter, why not download Sun’s ODF filter, use it to convert all your documents to ODF format, and then erase Microsoft Office from your hard drive? You need never pay for office software again. Just use OpenOffice.
