I used to hide behind the fact that I was a male and told people that I therefore could have no useful opinion about abortion. That was bullshit and I knew it was but it spared me the trouble of explaining to people what I believe in spite of that excuse. I think abortion is incredibly unfortunate, and if you want to go so far as to call it "murder," fine. But you damn well better also include "unintentional civilian casualties" in your country's retarded war "murder" as well. And don't forget all the people in the world who die as a direct result of you not forcing your government's hand at improving their situation, whether it be famine or poverty or disease or whatever.

In any case, there is a lot of death in the world anyway, and a lot of it is unnecessary in my opinion, but that doesn't make it "wrong" or even unavoidable. In the case of abortion, you have to understand how incredibly rare it is that a woman uses it as a form of last-minute birth control. Women who undergo this procedure understand that it is incredibly frowned upon, even among many people who accept it; they stress over their decision and they in many cases live with a troubled conscience for years afterward, if not forever. These are thinking people with emotion, not murderers. These are people who, for the most part, feel that they have only one option. They know almost nobody will understand their choice, but they believe it is the only choice they have, and they make that choice because they have weighed all of the options they have as they understand them.

In a perfect world, abortion would not happen -- not because it would be illegal but because it would be unnecessary. In a perfect world, people would not be made to feel so ashamed of their natural instincts about and desire for sex that they avoid buying proper birth control. They would not feel so self-conscious about themselves that they must be borderline catatonic and unable to think clearly before they have sex with somebody.

But that is not the world we live in. We live in a world where people are going to end up needing abortions. And I think it should be an option, because we need to understand that it is going to happen whether it is illegal or not. The Religious Right doesn't care about that, of course. They just want it swept under the rug and forgotten about, like all social problems, so they can pretend Jesus really is capable of solving big problems.

Also just in: Ron Paul placed 28th, just behind write-in candidate Cookie Monster. Apparently, you can't win primaries by spamming Digg and /b/ from mommy's basement. Who knew?

Tom Cruise is now second in command of the CoS.

Allegedly.

That rumor is spread by rogue Thetans. By attempting to propogate this lie, you are displaying an inward desire to be cleansed of these Thetans, restrained by your uncooperative conscious mind. Please step into the Dislocation Chamber.

excuse me. i think you meant to say,

Padre Pederastia----Tom Cruise
Joe Malik---- Tom Cruise
Simon Moon---- Tom Cruise
Markoff Chaney---Tom Cruise
Hagbard Celine---Tom Cruise
Squirrel in Beginning and End---Tom Cruise
Howard----Tom Cruise
AMA---Tom Cruise
Saul Goodman---Tom Cruise
Barney Muldoon----Tom Cruise

Okay. General guidelines for sane marketing:

Necessities (food, water, etc) - fine.
Electronics (computers, game consoles, etc) - more important than necessities.

Magic Miracle Potato-Peeling Gloves, The NEXT-GENERATION floor sweeper, color-seal zip-lock baggies, anything advertised on TV between 11 PM and 6 AM, etc - fuck off.

2. Advertising valuable goods and services is worthwhile, assuming you are not artificially creating the illusion of the need for those goods and services. Call me Stalin, but I think we need a Parasite Law.

OK, Stalin, I'll play.

Who decides what we need and don't need?

I do. You primates can't be trusted to decide what's important for yourselves.

P.S. I like Roger's hateshit better, it's more cuddly.

Ron Paul is a Reptilian!

How about this, Roger: No DESIRE.

Okay.  And when they come and chip your kids prior to drafting them for some godforsaken war in North Africa, you can take solace in the fact that at least you TRIED to stop them, by selling kitsch on the internets.

Don't be too hard on her. The Establishment is almost impossible to avoid, much less defeat. The best thing to do is play along, be quiet, never rock the boat, and hope to God they don't notice you have children. Selling kitsch makes you look harmless, and the stormtroopers only bother with people who look dangerous, so it makes you safe. After all, if you have nothing to hide, there's no reason to fear them.

Besides, war isn't so bad if you're White.

If it's Clinton and McCain, I'm going to vote for McCain. srsly.

I see conveniently avoided my point about your children eating you.

TZ: your post was excellent. I just haven't processed it to the point of making further suggestions yet. Social networking is sort of what we're after, and the fact that the Internet has grown an entire industry devoted to making that easier should help tremendously. The challenge is in using Web 2.0 stuff to overcome Web 2.0's built-in entertainment/bullshit-centric character.
