War is Peace, Freedom is Slavery, Ignorance is Strength…Eric Arthur Blair
AKA George Orwell (from 1984)
It is George Orwell’s birthday today and his words have never rung truer. He would have been 106.
Thanks for the reminder, @tmorello!

We owe no allegiance to any government. They owe abject allegiance to us.
Corporations are not human. Non-humans have no inalienable rights.
Single-payer or bust!
It is impossible to awaken someone who is pretending to sleep.

Any law that requires an individual to pay money to a private corporation or face criminal penalty is a bad law and must be struck down. I could write pages and pages about the healthcare issues with this bill…

That’s right, kiddies, copying is not theft! Time to forget the propaganda that you are fed every time you pop a dvd into the player. Oh, it is still a crime thanks to our draconian Digital Millennium Copyright Act, but it is not theft, so don’t feel like you are stealing, because you aren’t. Case in point: Nina Paley….

“Sibel Edmonds has a story to tell…It is about massive and systematic corruption of our elected officials and senior bureaucrats with the active connivance of the media. Worse, the corruption was carried out by agents of several foreign governments and involved nuclear secrets stolen from American defense laboratories and military bases that were, in some cases, sold to the highest bidder…”

I am the Assistant Professor of Interactive Media at Johnson County Community College and an independent multimedia communications consultant. Politically, I defy labels. Philosophically, I believe that Ella Wheeler Wilcox was correct when she said, "To sin by silence, when they should protest, makes cowards of men."

It pleases me to see that someone else remembers. Ahh. 1984. A book that changed my life. The images of which will forever be etched into my flesh (ala something Kafka would’ve liked) when I get my half-sleeve. Jealous?
