“I’m not saying that television is vulgar and dumb because the people who compose the Audience are vulgar and dumb. Television is the way it is simply because people tend to be extremely similar in their vulgar and prurient and dumb interests and wildly different in their refined and aesthetic and noble interests.” David Foster Wallace

Central to radical sustainability is the concept of autonomous development. This form of developmet designs systems that give control over basic resources to the people using them. This increases community self-reliance and aids in resistance to resource monopolies.

If I like a picture I grab a photo, project it up and paint it. Sometimes I change the colours to fit with the curtains. I do it partly because I’m tight and partly because if the Basquiats and Picassos in the...

Thank you for everything Howard!
HOWARD ZINN: No matter what we’re told, no matter what tyrant exists, what border has been crossed, what aggression has taken place, it’s not that we’re going to be passive in the face of tyranny or aggression, no, but we’ll find ways other than war to deal with whatever problems we have, because war is inevitably—inevitably—the indiscriminant massive killing of huge numbers of people. And...

Finally over
My last final is today and so I conclude w/ this last entry O V E R T U R E Each instance breeds mutant culture. The herd enter with painted faces and aerodynamic costumes, trendy nonetheless [ is that a raccoon tail on your head? ]. These new faces coalesce into an amalgam of shallow talk and live action rote memorization of dead heroes with guns. Stale air is whisked over me by the vents...

This marks the return of a threat that we should have never taken   back: To live our lives with unwavering intent and in the spirit of  a   new romance. Growing up in an age where monotony reigns…it’s so  easy   to keep your heart and mind locked away. And it’s up to you to rise   up…to break away. We’ve got no more time to spend spitting ugly   words at our vicious...
