Guns are made for 1 reason only, to kill. Animals, people, any living creature. There's no other purpose to them. Therefore, the argument of my fellow trigger-happy citizens about 'people, not guns, killing people' sounds like a pathetic attempt to defend the 2nd amendment. To support their notion, they like to cite cars, baseball bats, knives and other objects that are occasionally misused to kill, and pose a question about their regulation and/or ban. I'm afraid, 1 fact they quietly ignore is that majority of those objects are primarily manufactured with a completely different purpose in mind.

This endorsement will appear in the Sunday, Oct. 21, edition of The Denver Post. Not much surprise for the paper is left-leaning:

'This is an election that begs the candidates to demonstrate what they plan to do moving forward. Neither has done enough to lead us to think voters on Nov. 6 aren't, to a certain degree, being asked to make a leap of faith. But Obama's record of accomplishment under trying circumstances and his blueprint for a second term make him the best pick to move the nation forward.'

Nick Clegg, the leader of the Liberal Democrats in the UK and currently the man number 2 in Britain, described the invasion of Iraq in 2003 as illegal. In his first appearance at prime minister's questions, Clegg was challenged by Jack Straw, a Labourist, about the accountability of the current government actions. He told the former foreign secretary that he was happy to "account for everything we are doing in this coalition government". He then added:

... ask what your country can do for you. The same country that under its Republican leadership wasted 100s of billions of your dollars on 2 illegal invasions of sovereign nations [even though 1 of them may've been justified], the same country that under the same leadership bailed out greedy-beyond-imagination bankers who had brought the global economy to its knees, the same country that allows it elected officials to blow public funds on bridges to nowhere, the same country that generously gives to the wealthy at the expense of its middle and lower class, the same country, or its conservative segment, would now like to deny uninsured and underinsured citizens access to a service whose sole purpose is to protect the most precious of all valuables, health. Oh, Father, please, forgive them for they don't know what they're doing...

Ignorance is bliss. Supposedly. But it's bliss that's noticeably missing in the health care debate. As Republi-cants have again decided to approach a rational conversation with tools invented by the master of mendacious propaganda, Joseph Goebbels, the ignorant, the less literate and those simply too lazy to read, think or switch a channel, have turned livid. 'Intellectual activity is a danger to the building of character', says good ol' Joe, blissfully smiling in the Hades. If only he had known how much 'character' the intellectual inactivity can build.

The time has come to get off the lazy asses. There were 69 millions of us last November demanding the radical change of the existing rotten health care system. There were 69 millions of us no longer willing to accept the dictate of the insurance companies. There were 69 millions of us letting our elected officials know loud and clear that enough was enough. Where [the phukk] are we now?

My dear sweetheart, my cherry pie,
Seems that your tears won't ever dry,
For so many eagerly deny,
Care that you need so that you won't die...

Watching the health care debate is like watching a freak horror show. Last fall, 60% of this nation gave the better of 2 candidates a clear mandate to shake up the foundations of the rotten system and make it more affordable, accessible and efficient. Today, the very same people are pulling their support away as they're starting to buy into fiction, being sold by the industry, its political 'representation' and constantly news-making media, that a working rotten system is far better for this country than a system, though arguably more efficient and less costly elsewhere, that needs time and money to kick off. O, brother, and sanity, where art thou?

Take a look around the world,
You'll see such mad things happening,
There are many bad men,
Ask yourself if you're one of them...

I'm a headbanger. By nature. Not just for the music but also for the lyrics that often touch upon social, political and other hot-button issues of a certain era. In my opinion, Metallica's '... And justice for all' is one of the best albums ever made that unleashes a crushing fist @ what's wrong with this world with uncompromising musical and lyrical forces. The classics like Blackened, The eye of the beholder, One, or Shortest straw offer timeless behavioral studies of human actions that, despite of being evil, cruel, lethal, and always condemned, keep on re-occurring. The well of selfishness of some individuals is just bottomless. Sad but true. Metal is not the only music I listen to, though. Whatever sounds subjectively interesting or good to my ears gets played in my cd player. From Vivaldi, Massive Attack, Sinead O'Connor, Suzanne Vega, Lenny Kravitz, Depeche Mode to Kreator, Destruction, Slayer, Sodom, M.O.D., Sepultura. Music is really just one.

Not that I'd like to be downplaying the dangers of swine flu, but watching 'end-of-the-world' horror reports unveil one after another in the mass media, in particular on TV, makes me really, really 'sick'. In the light of yesterday's news when World Health Organization lowered the number of people confirmed to have died from H1N1 virus from 20 to 8, the media campaign, using such terms as pandemic or reporting fatalities without analyzing the causes, is starting to resemble paid commercial for pharmaceutical corporations rather than responsible journalism.

Haunting rendition of the new, god-gifted voice of our times. This ain't exactly a diary, just something to for your listening pleasure to share for words can't describe the depth of this untrained/self-trained talent. Enjoy!

'The worst thing to ever happen to a man is to encounter an idiot.' A Slavic saying.

'The deadliest of sins is pride, makes you feel like you're always right.'
Massive Attack

Time is a very precious thing. Just like love and money, there's never enough of it. Especially the most precious time of them all, a lifetime. Every second is way too important for it could very well be the last. Therefore, time is a terrible thing to waste. Therefore, I don't like my time wasted. Especially by nuts from a wing that dares to call itself right.
