random thoughts from a member of the yuppie technocrati

friday at last - i need a vacation....
I've been so unproductive, tired, unmotivated. It's frustrating. Blah. Shopping cures all evils! for sure!
The news has been very interesting with Richard Clarke/9/11 commission, Pledge of Allegiance (i can understand if people think we should think about something else but i believe under god should be taken out and i hardly think this is a slipery slope issue or that christians are somehow persecuted in public schools. give me a break when schools have to treat creationism as a viable theory - i'm sure there are plenty of other instances where the christian majority marginalizes students of other faiths *especially* those who are atheists or pagans, wiccans etc. - i think it's dangerous to try to dismiss issues like this with the argument that it doesn't bother most people - there is no reason why those words should be in there and 6 year old children led by their teacher to say those words)
And Medicare fiasco. This is a disaster - and done in a pretty shady way - this country blows for electing so many republicans. They have no incentive to do anything about the country's real problems evidently just say you love jesus, hate gays, drugs, and "elites" whatever that means and you can get elected. Who cares about a consistent ideology? Conservativism - right that means no affirmative action except for rich white sons of yale alumns. Because clearly they earned it. And capitalism and free markets will solve all our problems because we say so - doesn't matter if we're misrepresenting modern economic theory if we say it enough it will be true.
Blech blech blech.
It's all *so* fucked up.
