Why?

Why do people waste my time by submitting pictures like this? Do they really expect that I can post them? While I'm sure they think it's a great picture of their piercing, I'm not sure how they can convince themselves it's up to even the standard of the worst pictures on the site…

Thanks.

Time to go read an old book… Like the blurb says, “This was no ordinary war. This was a war to make the world safe for democracy. And if democracy was made safe, then nothing else mattered — not the millions of dead bodies, nor the thousands of ruined lives…”

What is democracy?
It's got something to do with young men killing each other I believe.
When it comes to be my turn, will you want me to go?
For democracy, any man would give his only begotten son.

I realized a few days ago that the expansion of the size of the US military (that is, a dramatic increase in the number of people who rely on it for employment, education, etc.) is the easiest way for the government to grow to monstrous proportions and eliminate human rights is by tricking former citizens into signing away their rights — that is, enlisting.

I'm not going to propose an answer for anyone else — I know the answer I apply to my own life, and I know the value I put on freedom… But I wonder — who is willing to sign away their rights, and pledge their soul and their life to evil, all in trade for a few dollars? Seems like a pact with the devil to me…

Wow Shannon, that's really annoying! What is it, 1997 on Geocities? Retroweb is NOT cool!
