I realize it's been some while since my last post, so I just wanted to get something out there real quick as proof that I have not been abducted by aliens, (why Mexicans are kidnapping so many people is beyond me), nor has our own government, (which is supposedly established to protect the rights of the people) targeted me for assassination or indefinite detention without due process of law. I can't understand why though, I mean... I almost always disagree with what they are doing, and I'm seldom quiet about such disagreements. Perhaps I don't look menacing enough. To remedy this, I have decided to grow a beard. I've heard the government is very intimidated by fellows with dark beards. I feel the beard should get me one step closer to being "disappeared", and hauled off to some dark, cold dungeon where "enhanced interrogation techniques" will be used on me. I hope they don't ask me who I voted for in the most recent American Idol competition. Truth be told, I didn't even see it! They'll just KNOW I'm some kind of terrorist then! "WHAT?!?! YOU DON"T LIKE COKE-A-COLA & FORD TRUCKS?!?! YOU DON"T LIKE AREOSMITH?!?!". After this discovery, they will surely hook up electrodes to my testicles... and proceed to interrogate me about my whereabouts on November 22nd 1963... and they will discover, that I indeed... was the 2nd gunman on the grassy knoll.... despite my being 32 years old. But then, "enhanced interrogation techniques" are quite remarkable at extracting information which would otherwise be impossible to get. I mean, how else would you get me to tell you that I'm a warlock angel assassin, capable of shape shifting and time travel, who pulled the trigger that fateful day?
Enhanced interrogation techniques aside, I'm almost done with this semester of school, and should be blogging with a bit more frequency during my downtime. Until then, I'd like to share with you something I came across recently which I think is a real gem.
This next one is an oldy but a goody... from the top 40 charts going all the way back to 1850, here's #7... "The Law", by Frédéric Bastiat...
Happy trails....
