unfortunately, you are writing this a year too late.  the enemy has won
& we have been disarmed.  by the way, the american people have also
voted for a republican government.

i would say more but i find this topic to be a fucking depressing one,
prime example if we needed one (& fuck do we not) of human apathy,
gullibility, incompetence, stupidity, near-sightedness, & its total lack
of coherence, responsibility & care.  hard to find a better ground for a
return to a superparanoid augustinian mindset.  come on baby, trust the
authority of your SENSES will you?  you like it eh?  then it's GOOD,
don't you get it?!  YOU LIKE BRITNEY, EAT IT UP & SHOVE IT UP YOUR ASS,
if IT FEELS *GOOD* then it's **GOOD**.

actually, that's just why i'm going overboard on this.  IT FEELS GOOD TO
HAVE ANGST & TO FEEL MORALLY SUPERIOR!  & TO WRITE IN CAPS & USE
INAPPROPRIATE PUNCTUATION!!!  FUCK THIS STUPID INTELLECTUAL MUSIC FOR
PEOPLE WITH NO LIFE OR GIRLFRIENDS!!!!!!  IT HAS NO FEEEELLIIINNNGGSSSS
THAT I CAN RECOGNIZE!!!!!!  it's not even MUSIC!!!

oh YES!!!!!!!!!!!@@@###  NOW I FEEL GOOD!  I FEEL... POWERFUL!!!  i
feel...  I FEEL LIKE I'M ON AOL AGAIN!!!!!!!!
