i am an american, and i support a public option.

Wednesday, November 25th, 2009

It seems so simple.

Imagine this:  On your left, you can help someone. On your right, hurt. What is the moral thing to do? What if you aren’t the one doing this, but it’s some other entity you’re providing the resources to. Like the government. What is an appropriate proportion of public funding to be allocated between ensuring the health of ourselves (healthcare), and “defending,” or harming others?

Where is your sense of community? Where has your sense for social responsibility gone, America?

I am “fortunate” enough to have healthcare. Most of my friends aren’t… many of my family neighbors… neighbors. I would much rather my hard earned tax dollars go toward ensuring your health and well being — even if you smoke, overeat, etc. — than go toward complete absurdity like the war on drugs, or the department of homeland security.

I am but a single star among a wonderous sky.

I am a citizen of the United States of America, and I support a public option.

throw away chatrooms

hey.

so i built this micro-app recently. it’s like irc for people that don’t know what irc is. it’s like im for people who hate im. it’s like an anonymous chat with only people that know each other. is any of this making sense? probably not. sometimes you just have to see for yourself. i present to you, internet, anologue.

you were right

I’m afraid my nightmare came true: this domain became just another absurd blog that came and went. That sucks. I blame it on Rich. Please fill his next post with tons of comments about how you’d like him to drop in more content. I think another part of the problem is that I feel like whenever I have to put a post on here I have to put too much thought into it. Clearly, that isn’t working – as it then becomes such a chore that I don’t want to do it.

So, I’m going to have a beer tonight and drink to the death of ANTI/gen. But, also, I’ll drink to the rebirth of this blog. Like a phoenix arising form ash… or something. I have decided to drastically lower my expectations. As, the internet is overflowing with ridiculous images, videos, articles, and other shit – and certain social networks sites have become so social that it has become inappropriate for me to not censor what I share on them on some level.
