Today I had a heart-to-heart talk to my mom. I realized that I may never be able to reconcile myself between the side of me that wants to be Thoreau and the part of me that wants to be JFK. Not that there was anything overly exceptional about JFK, except that he seemed to get America['s youth] excited about their future for the first time in a

god i love that dylan song....

anyway.
i really like not only what you said, but the way you said it.
i mean, you're not on here for weeks & you come out with something thoughtful & nonjudgemental. super kudos to you, my friend.

personally, given the chance, i would vote but i wouldn't feel empowered by it. i fear paying attention to the horrors of this country because everytime i do, i get more stressed & angry & often on the verge of tears or yelling profanities at the top of my lungs.

i don't know what revolution i would follow, probably one keeping art schools in tact and breaking society down. obliterate some of that goddam materialistic addiction few are without in America.

okay. i'm going to stop now before i start screaming.

breathe....

1. i think it is one of my favorite dylan songs of all time. for serious.
2. your (and our) feeling of disillusionment and disconnect with the government is exactly what we need to turn around. for whatever reason the populace is becoming more and more moderate, which means that decisive party loyalties don't necessarily apply any more. as the results of each election gets closer and closer, votes start to bear even more importance than before... but even that is besides the point.

i don't know exactly where i'm going with this. however! i totally empathize with your frustration... i know i get really overwhelmed just thinking about it. but one step at a time, one step at a time. we just all have to do what we can and ...hope for the best?

ugh. i don't know, but i do know that i can't wait for 2008. hell yes.
