one day, one day, oneday, oneday oenady..
..and one day, this little boys' life will contain substance. something worth living, with a steady plot and the light leading on toward an ending...
...but first, I learn to be social.
...but first, I strive for this:
'How to Smash the State' by Fred Woodworth
Continually improve your ability to express yourself in at least one language. Strive after perfection in the usage of your native tongue. Learn it well and use it often. It is your one friend, your basic tool, and your fluency and persuasiveness in it will ultimately determine whether or not your ideas are accepted by the people...
If you oppose authority, you are an Anarchist. The implements of your trade are the typewriter and the printing press. Ignore the secret police provocateurs who will try to persuade you to take up bombs and guns against the State. If every Anarchist in the world killed twenty government agents and dynamited $100,000 worth of government offices, all that would happen would be that every Anarchist in the world would be sentenced to death. The State would not be deflected even an iota from its normal patterns. But with the typewriter and the printing press, you can manufacture articles far more deadly and effective than bombs. Buy a mimeograph machine and learn how to use it. Long after the smoke and destruction of a bomb is forgotten, products of your imagination and creativity can live on, making tiny explosions inside people's minds.
Never neglect your education. Learn as much as you can about as many subjects as you can – avoid writing or speaking in ignorance. If you have no idea what's inside a computer, don't spout reams of theory about what computers can do or you may be wrong. If you can't produce a coherent explanation of how an electric doorbell works, don't extol the virtues of technology, or you may be made to appear ridiculous. Talk about subjects you know, otherwise you will only do harm.
Oppose religion wherever and however possible. When at long last deistic superstition vanishes from the face of the earth, the States of the world will have lost their principal mode of effecting and enforcing subservience and abject humility. Erasure of religion's mind-befuddling contradictionism will enable individuals to live without fear and psychosis, freely interacting and accepting responsibility for their own actions.
Always fight on your own battlefield. Refuse to be drawn into disadvantageous conflict planned and stacked against you. If pigs stop you when you are alone and push you and call you names, flash a glassy smile and say nothing. Why fight when and where they choose? Wait till you get to the place of your choosing – the typewriter, printing press, or microphone, for instance; then hit them with all you've got. If they try to beat you at your own game, they will be as much at a disadvantage as you were in theirs. Basic logic patterns and language fluency you have developed can cast pigs into ridicule and annihilate them..." The entire essay.
hey honey, just wanted to see how you are doing. i am great i just had my son on july 25th i was in labor for 27 hours, but it was all worth it. he is so cute.. well i think that you should hit me back so we can catch up and shit..
once again, once again, you do have the best song ever. it never ceases to amaze me. anyway, i'm sorry that i bailed on our conversation earlier, i thought my phone was in my pocket but it was in my car which i was away from for a few hours. i have to admit i somewhat miss your stupid head. =) i'm going to be gone for a week but then i shall return with a vengence and make your life as miserable as possible. ready?
