Earthlings Unite

  2. Excellent Article Mickey. Your passion struck me as I fume over an email asking for a war protest in October to commemorate the beginning of a war.

    My question is, where the hell is the outrage right now, 50 years ago. The entire planet can be destroyed long before the luxury date of October.

    It must be organized so that 5 people show up. ‘what shall I wear?  Should I quote gandhi or MLK for I don’t have the guts to speak for myself, anywhere, anytime, about anything.’

  3. Hi Mickey. I sent your article down the email pike, hoping to raise some passion. I got one hit. I guess everyone else is still suffering from last thanksgiving day hangover.

  4. Thanks, Joe...but it’s probably a hangover from Thanksgiving 2007.

  5. Today’s post makes me take it personally that MZ doesn’t get more exposure. This is a great public service announcement and should play on DN! or any indie station around.

    I was going to post something to lighten the mood a little, but now I’ll post it because MZ will get a kick out of it: http://tinyurl.com/5vqorct

  7. No idea why he’s missing, but clip #3 is amazing mashup - Enter The Dragon x Terminator.

  8. Hi Joe, Zen, Mickey,...

    I just finished reading DARKER SHADE OF GREEN.  I wanted to pick out my favorite statement in the book, but there were too many good ones. Maybe this one..."Normal means if you kill someone while wearing a uniform, you get a parade. Do it in gang colors and you get the electric chair.” Nice…

    captcha says “evidence”
    Lots of evidence of war crimes but still no indictments.

  9. About the photo of the Stop sign.  For a while a few years ago, an anonymous person went around town and on all of the Stop signs wrote the word “war” under “Stop”.

  10. Thanks, RMJ...for buying the book and for reading it and for liking it.

    Here in NYC, I’ve seen a few STOP signs with the words “eating meat” spray painted below

  11. Hi, all you earthlings:  Mickey, Joe, Zen Prole and Rosemarie from earthling Helga.
    “Normal means if you kill someone while wearing a uniform, you get a parade. Do it in gang colors and you get the electric chair.” That has got to be the quote of the day, Mickey - I’ll pass it around.  I seem to remember Voltaire saying something similar ..
    And did you get my message, Mickey?  If you tell how much your book and airmail postage to Australia cost, you’ll get the money and can then post the book.

    With all good things,
    Helga

  13. No money for books,
    No words for books,
    I keep ranting,
    fewer people listen.

    The man said ‘peace’ is the most terrifying word to americans. I told him, no, Love is the most terrifying word to americans. We will always drop out ‘attitude’ on others, activists will call this bombing others.

  14. Thanks, everyone.

    Just put up a new post...it should be familiar to the longtime regulars here.
