Plato: One of the penalties for refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors.

05.12.04 Gracious. I've been in the Xat Dimension the last couple of days. I don't know what it is; I'm feeling weird and alienated and a wee bit depressed. Perhaps it's a necessary hiatus before barfing out a new story or poem. As it is, I've got to write a political poem based on the colour white by next Wednesday. It's for a collaboration with a visual artist. It'd be interesting if she picked my poem. No pain if she doesn't. I dropped by the Very Christian thrift store today. Of course the I-found-god-and-lost-my-sense-of-rhythm radio station was on. Since it's political season, the ads were pointed. Two stick out; a car salesman who donates a portion of each sale to the charity or church of your choice. Made me want to go buy a car just so I could ask him to donate to NARAL. Wouldn't that be grand? The second ad was rallying the troops to call for a constitutional amendment allowing only heterosexual marriages. No, they couldn't use the polysyllabic "heterosexual"; that may be too confusing. What the HELL does having a constitutional amendment about marriage do? Why the HELL does anyone think that this is right and proper? What next, burqas? Okay. Time for a breather. Back one. ||||| Forward one.
