The beginning of the "revolution" meme, ala "half-past-human?" They say a group of veterans will take over a monument this summer or so. Well, if they've all been driven crazy and trained with guns, I suppose anything could happen.

Of course, we've asked them to do it for us for "good" for a long time. I can't help but wonder if they've been hanging out w/ the CIA, aka "the president's secret army." I wonder if Obama can fix this. I've got to hope, but then again, I've been told I'm too trusting. I don't think so, but I do hope. There's a difference.

The D-man is standing up for us. I've never given money to a political campaign, but this is starting to feel sort of important, and despite being broke, I'm actually considering sending a bit of money. How much is stopping shit like Fox worth?

Nice handy reference for copyright dealings in the US -- a good place to start, though it's nice to know that the simple act of creation is considered, at its core, the act of copyright. The rest seems to be gravy.
