On the CBS news last night that had a piece about a video producer who was paying the homeless and the helpless a pittance to do awful things to themselves and each other. And he is a millionaire from the sales of the video....and he is EXTREMELY PROUD of himself.....
George W. Bush Jr. needs to repeal environmental protections, clean water acts. We need to start nuclear proliferation again and open everywhere to corporate interests....the end of the world just can't come soon enough for me. The human race is to damn stupid to be considered a higher life form when we allow such gnats to succeed.

Which is worse? That the guy became a millionaire from the video or that so many people purchased the piece of trash?
Don't worry about Geo. Bush and the environment - the arsenic in the water will kill you long before Judgement Day arrives.

That is what I mean. People will villefy the video's producer, but he is just one guy. It is the DEMAND for the video that gets to me. How dare we call ourselves a human RACE! Maybe if I saw one of the purchaser's of the video, I'll pay someone a buck to beat the snot out of him, and call it free speech. Or maybe I'll do it myself and save a buck. I'll just have my video camera handy to capture it on tape.

That's great, it starts with an earthquake, birds and snakes, an aeroplane and Lenny Bruce is not afraid. Eye of a
hurricane, listen to yourself churn - world serves its own needs, dummy serve your own needs. Feed it off an aux
speak, grunt, no, strength. Ladder start to clatter with fear fight down height. Wire in a fire, represent the seven
games a government for hire and a combat site. Left of west and coming in a hurry with the furies breathing down
your neck. Team by team reporters baffled, trumped, tethered cropped. Look at that low playing! Fine, then. Uh
oh, overflow, population, common food, but it'll do. Save yourself, serve yourself. World serves its own needs, listen
to your heart bleed dummy with the rapture and the revered in the right - right. You vitriolic, patriotic, slam, fight,
bright light, feeling pretty psyched.
It's the end of the world as we know it.
It's the end of the world as we know it.
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine.
Six o'clock - TV hour. Don't get caught in foreign towers. Slash and burn, return, listen to yourself churn. Locking
in, uniforming, book burning, blood letting. Every motive escalate. Automotive incinerate. Light a candle, light a
votive. Step down, step down. Watch your heel crush, crushed. Uh oh, this means no fear cavalier. Renegade steer
clear! A tournament, tournament, a tournament of lies. Offer me solutions, offer me alternatives and I decline.
It's the end of the world as we know it.
It's the end of the world as we know it.
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine.
The other night I dreamt ot knives, continental drift divide. Mountains sit in a line, Leonard Bernstein, Leonid
Brezhnev, Lenny Bruce and Lester Bangs. Birthday party, cheesecake, jelly bean, boom! You symbiotic, patriotic,
slam book neck, right? Right.
It's the end of the world as we know it.
It's the end of the world as we know it.
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine...fine...

The Second Coming
Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all convictions, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
Surely some revelation is at hand;
Surely the Second Coming is at hand.
The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out
When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi
Troubles my sight: somewhere in sands of the desert
A shape with lion body and the head of a man,
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
Is moving its slow thighs, while all around it
Reel shadows of the indignant desert birds.
The darkness drops again; but now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?

I know mlecher. Sometimes it really does seem as if the Devil Himself had been let loose upon the Earth to wreak havoc and that George Bush is doing his bidding. People think that I'm just badmouthing Bush by saying that he's the Devil's Imp, but I believe it. What kind of an adult human being would knowingly let loose such devastation on the Earth? What kind of a person could screw 260 million people in the country - many of them that voted for that person, and not have a conscience? I'll tell you how: Bush is retarded and has no grasp of Right and Wrong and is the perfect replacement for Dan Quayle, who was supposed to be the Puppet after Bush, Sr. had finished his second term. Republicans are the biggest threat to this nation and to the world that has ever been. God help us all!
