Shuddup, you!

S2pid iz te noo kewl. Seriously though, I was having a hearty discussion with my lady friend about that old socialism. The obvious turnoff for me regarding socialism is that it restricts individual expression (to varying degrees depending on whose ideals such a system is being built upon), and is basically an admission that we're too irresponsible and inconsiderate to keep it lassez-faire. Having watched the "stupidity" documentary just now, that turnoff is actually starting to look pretty good right now. Which means that documentary has the same effect as alcohol (which itself is a large part of the problem). On a hardly-related note, could someone please inform the media that environmentalism is actually an effort to preserve the natural world (which includes EVERY SINGLE PERSON) and not the "environmental lobby"? The "tobacco lobby" protects the interests of tobacco companies, as do the "oil lobby" and "pharmaceutical lobby" ad nauseum etcetera. I promise to be as apolitical as possible in the world of Platypussies but I think we should periodically remember to pay attention to issues that may one day affect both our freedom to express and our physical ability (no electricity for recording devices, carcinogenics in our art supplies...) to express our creativity and individuality. With that in mind, please do me a favor and slash the tires of the next person you hear refer to the environment as a special-interest entity. For your diligence, here are some of the hilarious residuals of free-market capitalism!
