GUN CONTROL OR NO GUN CONTROL I was on the bus this morning when a heated debate broke out behind me. I often eavesdrop on the public transit system, so my ears perked up. This particular conversation was over gun control and more specifically, Proposition 169, which is intended to prevent accidental gun deaths or…

You make me sick, you spout off about armegedon and the corporate bullshit but in reality your a techno nerd.You expect me to Email you “fuck that” I hate e-mail and I hate the net…
More Hatemail
MORE OF YOUR RANTS!!! I realize some hatemail wil be a little dated, that is because my deadline creates nearly two weeks of delay between writing and press time. It is beyond my control. Additionally, I reserve the right to edit hatemail to its minimum size while still preserving the spirit in which it is…
Hatemail
HATEMAIL! It’s not looking good for me. I’ve recieved only two hatemails in the past week and one of them was from my mom! That means I only need 148 this week or the aliens are going to probe me, prod me, and possibly replace me with a kinder, gentler clone. Don’t blame me, I’m…
Y2K for your Dining Pleasure
Y2K FOR YOUR DINING PLEASURE. Hitlers power rested on a foundation of media manipulation, public spin, and staged events.Do you ever wonder if we’re getting fed the worlds biggest snowjob?

Block Party
BLOCK PARTY It’s great to live in a community that likes to get together with their friends and neighbors. Block party is a great idea….that’s been ruined by people out to gain political kudos. As I walked around downtown during the free portion of the event, I couldn’t help noticing there were 12 cops within…
How to Stop a Tank
MORE BITCHING Rock the vote…they say. What’s the point when the system is so locked into a basic premise that is so incredibly wrong. The big problem is that I don’t feel my government is evil, just misguided. Somewhere along the way from the days of aristocracy and peasants, the peasants bought into the aristocracies…
Race Relations
NATIVE RIGHTS, RACE RELATIONS, AND WEALTH DISCRIMINATION I don’t give a damn what anyone says Irishmen, Germans, and Chinese are every bit as good as Africans and Englishmen. What do you think about the Macah getting their whale? I’m sick of hearing a bunch of whining white people crying about the environment. I’m sure if…
some real problems
SOME REAL PROBLEMS!!! Sometimes with the war, Y2K, the stock market rising and falling, insanity seeming to rule world politics, and the Lynden Fair….it’s easy to forget about the simple things we have already lost to our Frankenstein. 1 Think about cars for a second, they have enabled us to remain in an artificial world…
