			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I sent the following email to twitter.  While I do not expect to receive the user&#8217;s name or any of that information; I feel it is important for twitter to know about it and that it is threatening in nature.  I am recording this on my blog as a way to leave a trail of evidence &#8211; I am not afraid to take legal action if I feel I need to do so.  Debating me, even hating me about issues is perfectly fine; but any threats to my career, friends or person will not be tolerated.  You can scream at me, call me an idiot all you want, but the moment you cross the line, I will point it out, I will seek legal action &#038; I will not tolerate harassment of this kind.  So, if you are the creator of this profile or this list or if you have created lists of this nature in the past or present &#8211; be warned &#8211; I am watching your actions very carefully.</p>
<p>Dear twitter,</p>
<p>The user <a href="http://twitter.com/skaggychicks">@skaggychicks</a> no longer exists – however, their list still exists.</p>
<p>This list was created as a defamatory action using the word “Skag” which means an unattractive person, usually a woman.</p>
<p>I have taken the liberty of attaching two screen shots for you.  One shows the google cache of the profile which shows a gun pointing at their username “skaggychicks” which can easily be implied that someone should shoot the skaggychicks. The other is a screen shot with 13 people who appear on the list as of that time. <em>(screenshots appear below)</em></p>
<p>I have attempted to remove myself from the list by clicking “block” but I have remained.</p>
<p>Would you please address this problem directly to me and to the public as to why a twitter user would not exist, but their list would still exist.  I would also like to know the creator of this list as I feel this list and profile was created to threaten my life and those who are on this list.  Under many US states, this would be considered a crime, punishable by fine or jail time.  I would like this user to be reported to authorities, either by myself or by you.  </p>
<p>I have continued to ask through twitter’s website that there be a way for users to control what publicly viewable lists we appear on.  Threatening &#038; harassing lists should not exist without a way to control whether we would like to be on the list.   Could you please address this as well.</p>
<p>Thank you for your time,</p>

Yet, I try so hard to understand just why I function from day to day, walking from point A to point B only to find myself back at point A the very next morning.  I tire of my boringness, yet I can do nothing to break out of the mold.  Just like all of the other puppets in this world, I have become one of them.  Yet, when I look at myself, what is within, I am not like them at all.  I&#8217;m trapped in a puppet&#8217;s body and life and I can&#8217;t get out&#8230;.</p>
<p>Today began like any other day &#8211; I went to work.  I didn&#8217;t want to go, but I did anyway.  I have stuff I have to do.  I didn&#8217;t get nearly as far as I would have liked, but I did get farther than I thought I would, so it kinda works out in the end &#8211; I suppose.</p>
<p>Every Monday and Friday, I get to have an very awkward conversation with a student who doesn&#8217;t understand the concept of personal privacy and there are things I do not need to know.  Today was no different.</p>
<p>Today, like every other day, I worked too many hours, enjoyed parts of it but it&#8217;s gotten dull.  I spend most of my days alone, which in some ways I enjoy, but it gets habitual after awhile and I wonder when I will have moments to break away, to make stronger connections with the friends I have, while forming new friendships with people I do not yet know.  I avoid situations that I don&#8217;t want to be in &#8211; large groups of people, events where alcohol is involved.  I&#8217;ve just learned to avoid the disruption in my life, though I know that I could easily break out of this routine that I am in if I would just allow myself to enter into those situations &#8211; but they have done nothing to make me excited about them and I always end up bored in the end.</p>
<p>I believe my problem has always been the fact that I make friends with everyone, but I rarely make friendships that are deep enough to be close bonds.  I know part of my problem deals with the fact that too often people expect me to fit a certain stereotype and so they make assumptions that just don&#8217;t work, so I&#8217;m always the odd one out. </p>
<p>Anyway, enough being philosophical and back to my day.  My day as you can see was boring and the highlight came at the end when something decided to destroy any normalcy, but of course, it couldn&#8217;t be something good.  After unlocking my trunk to put something inside, my key decided to snap in two pieces and leave half of itself within the lock, leaving me unable to unlock any of my doors or start the car for that matter.  Yeah, not good.  Luckily, my colleague&#8217;s truck was there and his wife was busy teaching a class, so I grabbed it, drove the couple miles home and back to get my spare key so I could at least get home.  I attempted to get the key out of the lock after getting home, but nope, it is gone.  I can no longer unlock my trunk from the outside (with my key &#8211; I can, however, open it with a screw driver.)</p>
<p>So, what awaits me tomorrow?  Let&#8217;s hope it&#8217;s another boring day where nothing exciting happens because I don&#8217;t know if I can handle the excitement anymore.  It&#8217;ll be a long day, I&#8217;m giving two tests, attending class &#038; working more on my work, then it&#8217;s off to home so I can pack and drive many hours in the morning.</p>
<p>Peace and Love.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When I was growing up, I learned about the Vietnam War, not just the historical context of the war, but also the anti-war movement that surrounded it.  I wonder, does the absence of the military draft make it easier for President&#8217;s to wage war?  Because it seems most of the people within this country are so apathetic about what is really going on across the world.</p>
<p>Do you not care that we are spending billions of dollars to destroy people&#8217;s lives?<br />
Do you not care that the information that led us into Iraq was a lie?<br />
Do you not care that we are occupying lands, raping women, killing children?<br />
Do you not care that we use U-238 &#8211; a radioactive chemical weapon?<br />
Are you ignorant enough to think that you can get your news from your media and they will tell you the truth about the realities of war? The same media that gets fined for showing a nipple during the Superbowl halftime show?  Do you really think they feel they can show the reality of war?</p>
<p>During the Vietnam anti-war movement, music played a crucial role in getting people together for the cause.  So, here are a series of songs.  The first is one about Vietnam.  The second is from System of a Down and it discusses Iraq and the third is an interesting take on &#8220;Heroes of War&#8221; and the message we tell our soldiers, despite the fact that they torture, kill and create havoc on innocent people.  </p>
<p>I will not be among the ones who celebrate the return of the solider from war &#8211; you deserve no honor, medals or celebration.  This is one thing that has definitely changed.  Without a draft, we are all apathetic, but the military men &#038; women choose to do what they do &#8211; so I do not feel obligated to support their actions.  Illegal wars are fought by criminals. </p>

<p><center>I wonder who they are<br />
The men who really run this land<br />
And I wonder why they run it<br />
With such a thoughtless hand.<br />
Tell me what are their names,<br />
And on what street do they live?<br />
I&#8217;d like to ride right over<br />
This afternoon and give<br />
Them a piece of my mind<br />
About peace for mankind<br />
Peace is not<br />
An awful lot<br />
To ask. </center></p>

<p><center>I&#8217;ve been walking through your streets<br />
Where all your moneys are earned<br />
Where all your buildings crying<br />
And clueless neckties working<br />
Revolving fake-lawn houses<br />
Housing all your fears<br />
Desensitized by TV<br />
Overbearing advertising<br />
God of consumerism<br />
And all your crooked pictures looking good<br />
Mirrorism, filtering information for the public eye<br />
Designed for profiteering<br />
Your neighbor, what a guy.</p>
<p>BOOM!BOOM!BOOM!BOOM!</p>
<p>Every time you drop the bomb, you kill the god your child has born-</p>
<p>BOOM!BOOM!BOOM!BOOM!</p>
<p>Modern globalization<br />
Coupled with condemnations<br />
Unnecessary death<br />
Matador corporations<br />
Puppeting your frustrations with a blinded flag<br />
Manufacturing consent is the name of the game<br />
The bottom line is money<br />
Nobody gives a FUCK<br />
Four thousand hungry children leave us per hour from starvation<br />
While billions are spent on bombs<br />
Creating death showers</p>
<p>BOOM!BOOM!BOOM!BOOM!</p>
<p>Every time you drop the bomb, you kill the god your child has born-</p>
<p>BOOM!BOOM!BOOM!BOOM!</p>
<p>Boom-Boom-Boom-Boom-Boom-Boom-Boom!</p>
<p>Why must we kill our own kind?</p>
<p>BOOM!BOOM!BOOM!BOOM!</p>

[BOOM!]<br />

<p><center>He said, “Son,<br />
Have you see the world?<br />
Well, what would you say<br />
If I said that you could?<br />
Just carry this gun and you’ll even get paid.”<br />
I said, “That sounds pretty good.”</p>
<p>Black leather boots<br />
Spit-shined so bright<br />
They cut off my hair but it looked alright<br />
We marched and we sang<br />
We all became friends<br />
As we learned how to fight</p>
<p>A hero of war<br />
Yeah that’s what I’ll be<br />
And when I come home<br />
They’ll be damn proud of me<br />
I’ll carry this flag<br />
To the grave if I must<br />
Because it’s flag that I love<br />
And a flag that I trust</p>
<p>I kicked in the door<br />
I yelled my commands<br />
The children, they cried<br />
But I got my man<br />
We took him away<br />
A bag over his face<br />
From his family and his friends</p>
<p>They took off his clothes<br />
They pissed in his hands<br />
I told them to stop<br />
But then I joined in<br />
We beat him with guns<br />
And batons not just once<br />
But again and again</p>
<p>A hero of war<br />
Yeah that’s what I’ll be<br />
And when I come home<br />
They’ll be damn proud of me<br />
I’ll carry this flag<br />
To the grave if I must<br />
Because it’s flag that I love<br />
And a flag that I trust</p>
<p>She walked through bullets and haze<br />
I asked her to stop<br />
I begged her to stay<br />
But she pressed on<br />
So I lifted my gun<br />
And I fired away</p>
<p>The shells jumped through the smoke<br />
And into the sand<br />
That the blood now had soaked<br />
She collapsed with a flag in her hand<br />
A flag white as snow</p>
<p>A hero of war<br />
Is that what the see<br />
Just medals and scars<br />
So damn proud of me<br />
And I brought home that flag<br />
Now it gathers dust<br />
But it’s a flag that I love<br />
It’s the only flag I trust</p>
<p>He said, “Son, have you seen the world? Well what would you say, if I said that you could?” </center>
