Who am I? I often have no idea. An animal with an always changing awareness. Time defines me as I walk through this life always encountering information. I experience, learn, react, push, and pull, always out of order but sometimes in order. I have many memories many of which lie hidden, stored in my brain but not properly catalogued. They define me without my own understanding. I am a tendency. I am confused. My outlines defined haphazardly and a mystery to me.
I am a state of confusion that pretends to know something. Sometimes. Subject to change like any healthy garden full of fruit and decay at the same time.
I question too much but not enough.
I believe we have not yet seen freedom and have thought about it too little.
Fuck who you want when you want.
Use words that are not polite especially if you know how to use words that are polite. I assume that my assumptions are wrong because they probably are.
I believe we do not know our history and that is our best weapon.
I believe marriage is silly and probably not very natural or healthy.
I believe monogamy is silly and probably not very natural or healthy.
Drugs are a health problem, not a crime.
Our reliance on fossil fuels is stupid and may destroy our ability to live on our planet.
why do we capitalize and use punctuation
I'm not sure love exists. I think it may be made up.
Sometimes I think love is the foundation of it all.
I do not believe in god and I talk dirty about Jesus.
Sometimes I joke about sex with Jesus because I hate christians.
Sometimes I love christians because of their christianity or maybe in spite of it.
I think Jesus may have been a real person and probably a bit of an anarchist.
I probably would have hung with the Jman, maybe in more ways that one.
Sometimes I'm disrespectful though I believe we are not respectful enough.
I do believe in god. I don't know if I do. I believe in the Force, seriously.
The force, nature, mamma... whatever you want to call it. Life?
I believe in being responsible for yourself, your family, and your community.
If you fuck up and need help, I might help you. I might not. I hope for the same from you.
I want you to ask me for help if you need it. I'll ask you for help if I need it.
If you need an abortion you should have access to it. Human life is no more or less than other life. All humans are humans.
I hate war and violence in general. I've read Gandhi's autobiography and it rocked my world. I think I may disagree though... not sure about this yet.
I'm not rooting for the U.S. in it's war with Iraq. We are wrong and should not be there. I hope we get our asses handed to us. U.S. soldiers should quit. Walk off the job, go on strike, abandon ship... if they don't I won't cry when they die. We are the bad guys in Iraq and we are the bad guys in general. We are the Republic turned Empire.
I want to be Luke Skywalker though I am too out of shape and I cannot will things to fly into my hand. Actually I think Yoda is more my style or maybe a synthesis of Yoda and Gandhi. Even better, Yoda, Gandhi, and Sam Gamgee!
I despise the democratic party as much as the republican party. I think the democratic party should be destroyed first, and the republican party second. I think the two party system has shown time and time again that it does not work. I think americans are too chicken shit and too lazy to deal with a broken system so they lie to themselves. I think "our" country is no longer ours. I think "our" government never was "ours". I believe that democracy is just a facade bolted to a conspiracy. I believe there are conspiracies, many of them. I think there might be aliens or there might not be. In any case it's time to tear it down and start over. Completely.
I believe George Bush is a war criminal. I believe that Americans should stop paying taxes because they become war criminals when they pay for war crimes done in their name. I believe that most others in the current administration are also war criminals. I believe that most U.S. presidents are war criminals. I believe that U.S. foreign policy is based on war crimes. I believe that if U.S. citizens were aware of just half of what "their"country did in their name they would shit their pants.
I hate the FBI and the CIA. I love John Lennon's song Power to the People. I am certain that the CIA killed John Lennon. I also love to hear the words made famous by the Black Panther Party: All Power to the People! I believe we need a revival of organizations such as the American Indian Movement and the Black Panthers... We need a whole symphony of resistance.
We need a militant labor movement. I believe that you should know who the following people are: Joe Hill, Mother Jones, Lucy Parsons, Emma Goldman... I'll add more because this is a big list. I believe you should know about the I.W.W. I believe in bread... and roses too.
I believe that Leonard Peltier and Mumia Abu Jamal are prisoners of war and should be set free. I believe that they will not be set free. I believe that America needs many hundreds of jail breaks. I believe that most prisoners in America are political prisoners. I believe that there is a prison industrial complex and that it should be dismantled. I oppose the death penalty.
I believe in direct action. I believe in getting arrested as well as avoiding arrest. I have been arrested and I have avoided arrest.
I believe in civil disobedience when it can be used effectively. I believe that we need a mass movement across our planet to save our planet. Seattle 99 was a glimpse of this. In fact every time the GATT, IMF, WTO meets there are protests all over the planet by those who want what I want against those who would enslave the planet for the purpose of capitalism. I believe that we are all wage slaves.
I believe in the decentralization of food and energy production. I believe in a garden in every yard. I believe in the tearing up of grass lawns and golf courses. I believe in blueberry bushes and raspberry vines. I believe in replacing conventional shingles with photovoltaic shingles. I believe in bicycles, segways, electrical scooters, and light rail. I believe cars should become extinct. I see a world without cars and their noises and pollutants. I believe in quiet, human scaled paths where people pass one another on their way to work. Where birds are heard and flowers easily enjoyed. I believe that the Kyoto Accord is a good start, but just the start!
I think that patriotism is outdated and probably criminal. One day humans will look back at our general time period and characterize it as a sort of dark ages. I think we have the potential to destroy our place on our planet. I think we have the potential to evolve, to become a force of nature that is rational and sane. I think that we are nature, we are nature hurting itself. We are nature with the potential to become free.
Freedom does not exist, only small tastes of moments that approximate freedom. Freedom is something we look for. Freedom is something we sometimes strive for. If we do not strive for freedom then we do not deserve it. Freedom does not necessarily separate us, it may bind us.
Freedom is something we assume until someone tries to take it away. The degree that we resist is the degree to which we are free. We have not been resisting much.
I believe that you and I have a relationship. As long as you are not free, I am not free. As long as you are oppressed, I am oppressed. We are independent but also interdependent. We affect one another. We co-create one another. I believe in cooperation more than competition. I believe that we need to learn how to communicate better. I believe that we hardly communicate as it is.
I believe that the capitalist media is the most important tool of capitalists and the state. I hate capitalism. You are not the boss of me. I am not the boss of you. Fire your boss! I believe that the economy should be controlled by democracy. I believe that democracy should be everyday and face to face. I believe that workplaces should be managed by workers through democratic process. Fire your boss!
I believe that another world is possible.

hey. I love this website/post it has some very true things yet flawed as every thing is. As far as the religion, I am technically Jewish although I hate all religions. I have beliefs of atheism but I am not an atheist. I don't know what I am as far as religion. I don’t worship anything or anyone or any fake "ONE". I believe that we slowly mutated or as scientist say so people don’t get freaked out "evolved" from different creatures and became what we are now and will slowly mutate forever. As far as political party I too despise democrats and republicans although I'd rather put up with a democrat than a republican. George Bush is the stupidest person there is. Osama Bin Laden supposedly sets up the attack on the twin towers which was to cover up that it was really the FBI trying to find a way to attack Iraq because they haste Saddam Hussein and wanted him out of power, but Bush being the dumbass he is said that Osama is in Afghanistan, which he was, so the U.S. must attack Iraq. And people bought this bullshit? And elected him AGAIN? This shows the stupidity of the human race. Well going back to the political party... If I were to call myself anything, politically speaking, I am a communist. Communism is the best political decision although hard to fulfill as no one has yet achieved. The whole idea of communism is as close to perfect as a political party can be. It controls the people and divides people equally keeping everyone has wealthy as everyone else, which that alone pretty much takes care of most segregation between the rich and the poor. The problem with it is that the real idea is so complex that it is very, very hard to really make happen. Every country that has tried to become truly communist always ends up as becoming a totalitarian state, not communist. The U.S. government perceived this as communism and being how bad a totalitarian state can get, they decided to attack everyone trying to achieve communism. I don't think that people know that China is the country that has come closest so far to becoming a true communist country and has been thriving ever since it became communist over dynastic cycle. KARL MARX IS A TRUE GENIUS! But as I said before nothing can be perfect and that is the fact that it is very, very hard to achieve taking decades to get right for the country and, which has already been seen, the U.S. government will not let any country do. The government is only letting China grow as a communist country because they know that Chine would beat the shit out of the U.S.! There needs to be someone truly smart who understands other ideas besides democracy to finally go into the presidential office. This will never happen though because, lets face it, Americans in general are stupid and oblivious to government shit. I think that since the U.S. is "such a great nation" (haha) we should try to really become smart and try to achieve what no other country has done before and truly become a communist nation, a real communist nation not a totalitarian state which is ALWAYS mistaken for as communism. I could talk about this and many other ideas but I need to rest and will comment more later and I think this is a pretty long comment and if it gets too much longer then people will think im just ranting about nonsense. READ IT, REALLY THINK ABOUT IT, AND FORM YOUR OWN DECISIONS! IT'S WHAT AMERICANS ARE SUPPOSED TO DO BUT WON'T BECAUSE THEY THINK THEY ARE BUT REALLY THEY'RE JUST GOING ALONG WITH WHAT THE GOVERNMENT TELLS THEM TO DECIDE ON!
