It's important to relate to people directly and from your own experience. There are thousands of years of history, and more directly, a very recent family history and first-hand experiences that drive each person to hold the beliefs that they do. It would be blindsided to write those off as wrong or ignorant because you do not agree with them. That's what was said--- well, it would be equally blindsided...
September has been one hell of a month. I went to the East Atlanta Prison Farm. I need to post those pics. I had two cool photo shoots at Spring 4th. I need to edit and post those pics. I went to Alchemy. I need to do a full write up of that and post pics. I went to a really fun wedding in Aberdeen, NC last weekend. I need to write that up and post pics. I really need some relaxation time. I...
I'm reading We Wish to Inform You That Tomorrow We Will Be Killed With Our Families: Stories From Rwanda , by Philip Gourevitch. It is a grim and excellent book, which I learned of thanks to dankamongmen . It entails how the Hutu Power movement grew into a genocide of the Tutsis in 1994, before being driven from the country by an opposing army. This excerpt refers to the ensuing propoganda...
I think I did this once before, but my flist has changed a bit since then, so I'm trying it again. Not quite sure I understand the numbers, but it does give me a list to check out.

It's a measure of the man that though a search calls up multiple headlines to this effect, I doubt whether it actually happened. http://www.santacruzsentinel.com/archiv e/2007/January/14/local/stories/02local.h tm
I have had a rant regarding the congruence of a driver's driving envelope and a car's performance envelope sitting on my back burner for quite some time. I had told myself that I wouldn't post until I had taken the time to finish it. However, dankamongmen has recently secured a job with a really popular company that pays so well that the figure rounds to seven figures. That is an event which...
There is nothing quite like reading something terrifically sad and crying your eyes out, followed by reading something hilariously funny and laughing until you hurt. From dankamongmen 's unruly bookmark pile, I bring you Spamusement . I recommend HELLO ME NOT DEAD particularly. Ow. I feel better.
Please Paypal a buck or two to support the legal defense of this poor lady (scroll down to the bottom and read "Detailed History of the Case") whose ex-husband has stolen custody of their son just by showing a socially conservative judge pictures of her partying at a Subgenius event. You only wish this was a joke! This precedent could affect us all. Found thanks to Phat Joe , who also invented a...
