you sound black.

Well for the first time in my life, it seems that Christmastime has creeped up on me, leaving me little time to just get greedy with the whole thing. So, I'm just now getting around to editing my list, which is as follows:

One: The Criss Angel Mindfreak Complete First Season DVD
Two: A new stepdad
Three: Maybe a Visa Buxx Card
Four: The new U2 CD
Five: A black belt, just a normal one, but if I could get a karate one I'd appreciate the effort on Santa's part
Six: 50 Cent: Bulletproof for Xbox 360
Seven: An Xbox 360, but not the expensive one with the wireless controllers because taht is just so bourgeosie
Eight: Finally, I would like for this kid to get the operation he needs to fix his hands, and play once again with the other children, unafraid of their jibes and wisecracks.

If anyone wants to lighten santa's load, I'm registered at any metropolitan area OMG discount Jeans outlet.

God Bless You All, and Stille Nacht to everyone.

1. The Industrial Revolution and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race. They have greatly increased the life-expectancy of those of us who live in "advanced" countries, but they have destabilized society, have made life unfulfilling, have subjected human beings to indignities, have led to widespread psychological suffering (in the Third World to physical suffering as well) and have inflicted severe damage on the natural world. "You do not understand me. I do not expect you to. You are not capable of it. I am beyond your experience. I am beyond good and evil. Legions of the night, night breed, repeat not the errors of night prowler and show no mercy. I will be avenged. Lucifer dwells within us all."The continued development of technology will worsen the situation. It will certainly subject human beings to greater indignities and inflict greater damage on the natural world, it will probably lead to greater social disruption and psychological suffering, and it may lead to increased physical suffering even in "advanced" countries.
2. The industrial-technological system may survive or it may break down. If it survives, it MAY eventually achieve a low level of physical and psychological suffering, but only after passing through a long and very painful period of adjustment and only at the cost of permanently reducing human beings and many other living organisms to engineered products and mere cogs in the social machine. Furthermore, if the system survives, the consequences will be inevitable: There is no way of reforming or modifying the system so as to prevent it from depriving people of dignity and autonomy.
3. If the system breaks down the consequences will still be very painful. But the bigger the system grows the more disastrous the results of its breakdown will be, so if it is to break down it had best break down sooner rather than later.
4. We therefore advocate a revolution against the industrial system.
