I think this one is better; could just be me.

Why I Hate People... More Than Usual
Somehow, y'all find new and creative ways to reinvigorate my anger...
Thanks, but no thanks... just do it!
Update on housing placements for Fall 08
Greetings to all of our new first-year students! On behalf of the office of Residence Life, we welcome you to Bard College.
Undoubtedly, you are anxiously awaiting your housing placement and roommate information. We understand the inconvenience it may cause to learn these details so late in the summer. This is an exciting time, and we know you are looking forward to connecting with your roommate(s) about their interests and setting up your personal space.
Due to unforeseen circumstances, we are making some last-minute changes to our housing assignments and will e-mail you, at the latest, early next week. We want to make sure we accommodate you to the best of our abilities, and that has taken a little extra time. Please note that we do not have the capacity to answer individual e-mails or phone calls requesting your housing information.
In the meantime, feel free to look over the ?What to Bring to Bard? suggested packing list, which can be found at: http://www.bard.edu/admission/forms/pdfs/bring.pdf .
We'll be talking with you again soon!
Bard College Residence Life
Thanks, but no thanks... just do it!

Stop Pandering To Stupid People
Ever since Fox News jumped into the ring, the already shaky journalistic integrity of television news channels went from borderline tabloid reporters, who would rather report on things that entertain, and, thus, sell more advertisements, straight into the shitter.
Now, recently, I have frequently heard talk of these so-called "low information voters." I asked myself, "what the fuck are these people talking about?" Then, after listening, the obvious answer, which I wanted so badly to think wasn't true, was indeed the answer: the corporate whores have found a way to cauterize "retard!"
We have had so much politically correct sterilization of our language that we can't call these people idiots, humans of sub par intelligence who refuse to be educated and would rather hold onto their guns, religion, and rhetoric.
No more niceties, people who are ignorant of-oh, I don't know- facts should not be voting to begin with. We wouldn't have this problem if people weren't so ignorant of basic facts and seem to prefer, instead, to turn to corporate figure heads for their facts along with the grand daddy of all ignorance creators... religion. Of course, schools are now putting more god in their courses, not less.
The rise of so-called conservatism that is destroying this nation is intrinsically linked to the viral spreading of this most heinous and destructive of human vices.
From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary:
Belief: Assent to a proposition or affirmation, or the acceptance of a fact, opinion, or assertion as real or true, without immediate personal knowledge; reliance upon word or testimony; partial or full assurance without positive knowledge or absolute certainty; persuasion; conviction; confidence; as, belief of a witness; the belief of our senses.
What is religion? What is spirituality? What is belief? It is ignorance.
And, ignorance is the very evil that prevents truth from spreading.
When only half of Americans voted in 2000 and those who voted for Governor Bush- because that is the only office he was ever elected to- voted primarily on the basis of their faith, why should I have any hope for this country.

Future Names and Stupid Shit That Parents Foist On Their Kids
Names, as in these words derived of alphabetic symbols that usually dudn't mean didly belunkus, will no longer exist in the future.
I mean, really, what the fuck do names mean anyway?
When it is as easy as it is now to change your name, there is no reason to use names in formal situations, and in general, since their reliability is questionable.
So, then, the only reliable- kind of, but you can't change it, only fake it- title possible is the social security number.
You can't change your social security number and, so far, we can't use our DNA as our name effectively but that too is something that, so far, can't be changed and we can't effectively use as a name. Now, you could also fake whatever machine might test your DNA- doesn't matter how elaborate the device may be, where there is a will there is a way and all things made by man will inherit his flawed status. Also, no two people should have the same social security number, but can't twins, triplets... etc. have the same genes?
Thus, our names will be social security numbers.
But how would you tell who someone's parents are?
Rather than have the present use of last name's that can hold stigmas and preconceived notions of what the word means, children would have to memorize their parents' social security numbers as their last name. Of course, parents, particularly drugged baby boomers and, even more so, celebrities, won't have a chance to fuck up a kid's future with absolutely fucking stupid first names. Apple!? Majesty!? Come on...
But, what I find more interesting is the possibility that rather than forcing children to adopt their parent's religion, kids will be forced to sign up for their parents' bank.
The future is likely to be ruled by corporate beings that have bought the government, and will be writing the laws themselves... even more than they do now, so it would make some sense that business aspects will becoming the supplement for religion in the days to be.

A Present and A Future Crime
Gas prices are rising and they are never going down. Even without speculation and a slight dampening in demand for gas as a result of these rising prices and demand for alternatives increasing, a conflict will arise between wasting gas by burning it to run machines or using oil to create products like medical supplies, or toys, asphalt and condoms, that presently require oil as an integral component in their construction.
Obviously, I stand on the side of conservation and reservation of oil for fabrication and not for destroying oil to produce power. Funny thing, I don't want people to die because medical supplies became too expensive to, for example, allow diabetics to afford their insulin shots.
However, oil will be running out all the same since it is not an infinite resource. And, no matter how much of it may be hidden away, it is not worth our time to use the last millennium's power source to take us to the future.
But, somehow, the public doesn't quite have enough backbone to actually try and convert to something else.
Thus, I foresee, probably about the same time that we may see gas riots, the developing crime of people stealing cars not for joy-rides but, rather, for business-rides. Eventually, gas may become so expensive that it makes more sense, even if you have your own car, to just steal someone's car that has gas so you can get from one place to another. I grant that before this there may be waves of siphoning out the gas of another person's tank but I think that people will lose patience with that and find it easier to just steal the car altogether.
Do you think this is crazy? Well, let me tell you about a crime wave that is already going strong: the stealing of catalytic converters.
You know what those are, right? They're the things that reduce, not eliminate, the nasty shit that comes out as a result of burning gas and released out the exhaust.
Among their components are the metals palladium, rhodium and platinum. Everyone is probably aware of the last one as a precious metal but the first two are often common in jewelry but are more common in various technologies for their chemical properties.
Now, I bet you know that the price of gold has gone up recently. But, did you know that the price of the catalytic three are also rising?
In fact, they have risen so much that it is now profitable to sneak under someone's car and cut them off and them sell them to scrapyards or some such. It is easy for a police officer, or anyone, to recognize if someone is trying to commit this crime: if someone is trying to get underneath or is underneath a car with a sawz-all that is your fucking clue. I'll grant you that this crime might not be as popular as say selling drugs, but it is out there.
Did you think that would ever happen? Never rule out any possibility no matter how strange it may be.

Want A Free Laptop Without Any Hassle And Lies?
Have your government tax your corporate overlords and distribute something like the OLPC to all students.
See isn't that so much easier than filling out stupid surveys, getting spammed, and losing your identity?
