Professor O'Rourke: Nietzsche relates the representative democracy of England to a monkey choosing between bananas. But, y'know, that's Nietzsche, and he had syphilis.

To me, this is very funny. Last night he also got into a mocking match with a man trying to demean Marx by showing that benevolence can, in fact, thrive in capitalism. It didn't got well for him and his pineapple farm.

Okay, so for my POL 1150 class I have to comment on politics in an online class forum. Last night I started this thread: )

Also, From the Huffington Post: U.S. insurance companies are denying victims of sexual assault health insurance, arguing that the physical and psychological ramifications of assault are "pre-existing conditions" that make victims uninsurable.

Very feminist today. Pure chance!

So, I’m writing this 10:30 on Monday night, after the worst ordeal trying to get home. I don’t feel like explaining it now, it’d be a bit of a pain since I got drinks while waiting for the bus and am a touch drunk. Suffice to say, I’m pissed, it’s mostly my mom’s fault, and I might explain it tomorrow.

So, ”Supernatural." )

Flash Forward response with little to no organization, will likely not make sense unless you've seen the ep. )

Might get on SPN soon. MIGHT.

SPN 5.04 'The End' [Oct. 2nd, 2009|05:27 pm]
So, my basic thoughts throughout the episode. )

Okay, I think I'm done. Why did I spend an hour writing this instead of that paper I've got due Monday?

All right, people. I am using you to further my own ends. You have to help me choose a topic for my history paper. Here are the ones that tantalize moi: )

I also have to pick a Canadian political issue to write a poli-sci paper on. What issues am I interested in, people?! (Note to self; read paper more.)

As a reward for you nerdy types, I have some interesting facts from a bio article on domestication. One of the things the author discusses is why, out of all the species on the planet, we've only domesticated a few of them. He claims that most species fail in some categorical way (he names six) to be effective and efficient for human use. He also says this,

"Comparisons of domesticated wild species with never-domesticated close relatives illustrate the subtle factors that can derail domestication. The European horse breeders who settled in South Africa in the 1600s and - like African herders for previous millennia - tried to domesticate zebras. They gave up after several centuries for two reasons. First, zebras are incurably viscous, have the bad habit of biting a handler and not letting go until the handler is dead, and thereby injure more zookeepers each year than do tigers."

I had actually wondered why we hadn't done the zebra thing. *shudders*

I wish I hadn't been born. Just - nothing. None of the things I hate. God, I'm afraid of going, but I am so goddamned tired.

Does no one else feel like this? Like the most exciting story in the world is to spiral down and burn? I know it'd hurt so bad, but if I just stopped trying, it wouldn't take long. I could have so much damn fun on my way! Just give up and fly! People don't fly, they fall, but I always loved the sick feeling of vertigo. I want to go now. Just stop trying and jump and fall and laugh madly all the way down.

Can't I?

As most of you know, I have this thing about deep water, and all things included (read: whales, icebergs, etc.).

That said, oh dear lord.
