Here's the rub..... I can't help myself....I see things maybe differently than others....why? Maybe I'm what becomes a dissident, a rebel, a revolutionary. Why can't I walk in file like most others? It bothers me....why do I complain, bitch about stuff. Why do others just sit back and accept thinks as they are and I can't? Why do I see problems at work that others just perceive as nusances and ignore them....I have one hell of a rocky boat. Perhaps its the same reason I listened to the Stones, Jimi Hendrix, and Led Zeppelin when I was a kid instead of the Beach Boys and Paul Anka...or read Noam Chomsky...and god forbid, even read Karl Marx and Mao....but believe me, I'm pretty far from being a communist....although probably on the left just a bit :) I don't believe in the death penaly or war, or killing...why do most of the people, especially in the U.S. believe that killing is good ???? or at least a means to find peace ????? Am I a sick cookie????? When did I go through the Twilight Zone ? So, in order for me to not go off the deep end all the time, what can I do? I can't control myself...and I want to... So...leave here and not worry about the P5 thing, that for the most part didn't seem to bother most folk ? I can't condone silencing threads here by moving them to some obscure place, or locking them, whatever, but understand the fact that the owners of this list can do as they damn well please...and actually haven't contributed to the debate hardly at all...stayed pretty neutral, probably a good idea for them..... I'm a f"""n lunatic !!!! Who even gives a squat? I'm just mashing words for the sake of mashing ;) If I could apply just half of the energy wasted in writing some of my heated posts, and even this one, in learning and creating art, I'd be a frickin Mozart......wait a second, he was a musician...how about a frickin Escher...or Dali.... See, even my artist heroes are edgy folks.... Although I have seen some of Warhole's stuff...real life...and tomato soup cans aren't too artsy....suppose if you pop some haze and see the soup boiling it may be a bit different. They say creative people are right-minded....my mind is left, right, upside down, and sideways.... Yikes....hey Anton, are those tranquilizers any good ???

Humankind has not woven the web of life. We are but one thread within it.
Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves. All things are bound together.
All things connect......Chief Seattle, 1854
