Miscellanea
Things I need to remember:
• Asking for help is not, as it turns out, fatal.
• Laughing is easier than pulling your hair out, and doesn't have the unfortunate side effect of making you look like a plague victim.
• Even the biggest tasks can be defeated if taken a bit at a time.
• I can write a paper the night before it's due, but the results are not all they could be.
• Be thorough, but focused.
• Trust yourself.
• Honesty, always.

Date: January 25th, 2010 08:05 pm (UTC)As someone else commented (Panzner? Shedlock? Kunstler?) this is NOT a "freedom of speech" thing-- because MONEY IS NOT SPEECH and CORPORATIONS ARE NOT PEOPLE! It should be pretty simple to realize these basic facts, so if they chose to deny reality, then I agree something STINKS.
Now that the corporations own the Supreme Court...? The great experiment that is the checks and balances of our system have officially FAILED.
I'm so pissed off about this.
Money is not speech.
Corporations are not people.
It's literally the falling apart of our nation. And will we even know it up front if THEY pay for us not to? OMG this is bad...
