(10/05/06) for Ange Mlinko. The brain assimilates regular sounds, chewing, jackhammers, laughter, slander, faggot, dyke, faggot, dyke. The Philadelphia School Board is deciding whether to make October Gay & Lesbian History Month, and in doing so asked that polls be taken. POLLS!? Did LBJ conduct polls in Alabama and Mississippi, asking folks how they felt about Civil Rights issues first? NO! Nor should he have! When you know what's right you don't ask permission! When you KNOW how many teens are killing themselves, when you know the level of suffering, polls are not an option. Local TV 10 said it was the MOST number of calls they ever received for a poll. Over 70% were opposed, no big surprise. Of course they think it's a bad idea! THAT'S WHY Gay & Lesbian HISTORY Month is important! PEOPLE JUST DON'T KNOW WHO WE ARE! One person wrote, "It's one thing to promote tolerance, but quite another to promote a lifestyle." JESUS FUCKING CHRIST! It's NOT Gay & Lesbian LIFESTYLE Month you fucking cracker FUCK! It's HISTORY month! Gay & Lesbian HISTORY MONTH! Who in the FUCK is opposed to their kids learning HISTORY!? Maybe if kids spent more time learning history they would KNOW who Henry Kissinger is, for instance. And in knowing who Henry Kissinger is they too might be concerned that he is spending A LOT OF TIME in the White House these days visiting with our latest war president. Let's not forget, Kissinger is the man who said "We lost Vietnam because we lost our Will." What the FUCK does that mean by the way?!!! Lost our WILL to do what!? Drop MORE NAPALM!? What a PIECE OF SHIT Kissinger is! WHY DON'T KIDS KNOW WHAT A PIECE OF SHIT KISSINGER IS!? He's been at the White House a lot lately, meeting with Bush who, LO AND BEHOLD, comes up with a speech the other day in which he HAS THE NERVE TO SAY, "The party of FDR, the party of Truman, has become the party of Cut and Run!" Hmm, sounds like Kissigner's "We lost Vietnam because we lost our Will." Hmm, don't you think? The brain assimilates regular sounds, car honks, barks, bombs, screams, a president's well-trained, sincerest tone. 800 human beings are killed every week in Iraq. 800 human beings, I repeat, are killed every week in Iraq. Do you pay your taxes? I pay my taxes. We pay our taxes, don't we? Our dollar bills flying over the ocean, turning into bullets somewhere along the way, hitting someone in the head, and they're down. We're all down. We're all complicit in this evil, and are down. We must be able to come to terms with our broken hearts. We must be able to admit how much this bothers us. America has the largest number of sleeping pills sold in local pharmacies. America wants to sleep one way or the other. America keeps looking for newer, better sleeping pills. There's always a new one, then there's always a newer one, a better one. Help us sleep, we ask. It's a difficult thing, sleep, when so much death is done in our names, with our money. And everywhere I go everyone's always trying to prove that they know how to have fun. That they know how to party. "It's okay, it's okay," I say, "The terrible things that happen to others really DO affect your heart, you don't have to try so hard to hide it." If I vomit in your direction will you move the party across the hall? I'm only sorry that I don't know how to be sorry about it anymore. Which is saying I lost something? Yes, yes, but it was good to lose it. The brain assimilates regular sounds. What are the regular sounds in your home? What are the regular sounds in the homes of Baghdad? What? What? What? Keep asking with me please.
