This scares me, it REALLY REALLY SCARES ME!
I just got home & was watching CBS while my VTR rewinds when this story came up.
<{click the story below}>
Furor Over Targeting Of Liberal Profs
Now, I consider this as a total affront to the whole university learning system.
So I sit in a poly-sci. class & have to listen & study under a prof. that has a total 180 degree opinion of what I believe in. I can make $100 recording & gathering evidence of this instructors skewed view of life as I see it, mien furor posts it on the 'net, and wham bam thank ya' mam, this person is out of a job.
Just because of some pigheaded bastard did not agree with them.
Am I wrong in opinion that going to college is supposed to be a learning experience? Are not students expected to learn from discovery? And is not discovery one of the things that comes from finding something that you question, challenging it, and then finding out what is truth and/or bullshit after delving into the challenge & reaching opinion. It is called using independent thought.
THAT, MY FRIENDS, IS HOW YOU LEARN.
I scares me that some disgruntled rightwing twat of a loser is offering a bounty for turning in the instructors @ UCLA for "liberal thinking & liberal actions". WTF!!! Did I fall asleep last night & Sen. McCarthy was cross cloned with Hitler?
Most of you out there know if Timothy Leary, the Chicago Seven, or other liberal factions tried this, all hell would break loose & there would be wire taps, swat teams, and a butt load legal problems / jail time just for mentioning something remotely like this.
As a former educator {grad school}, it is appalling that anyone could do this. Then again up until a few weeks ago we all thought that people could not record phone calls without consent.
Actually I am more than scared. I am disappointed, disgusted, torqued off, confused, and severely aghast of how something like this could be allowed to happen.
And this is supposed to be the land of the free, the land of open acceptance, the land of open minds,
The land that shall not oppress.
Blessed be all, and please try to be nice to each other.

No tenure, no severance, no reference, and no career afterwards.

A great gift for that meek woman in your life
If you, or someone you know gets stepped on constantly, humiliated, or plain just doesn't assert herself.

Movie Reviews of 2006 #29 - CASANOVA
WOW! What a shockingly good surprise of a movie.
We choose to watch this over another movie that was PG-13, and we definitely made the right choice. From the posters, trailers, and other pre-release media, it was expected to be a semi-chick-flick. We took this movie on for the sheer fact of the R rating even though is is a Buena-Vista {read the "adult" Disney} release. There wasn't any full nude scenes, no foul language, and not even an obligatory blood & gore scene. BUT IT IS STILL A DAMN FUN TIME!
As this is the story of the legend Casanova, this is sex, sex, & more sex. But it is all implied by reference & good cinematography & editing. This is not a chick-flick, but a damn well done film from the writing of the story & screenplay, down to almost every aspect of the finished product.
And it is funny, enjoyable, interesting, and as much as I hate the term, it is "riveting". I hate that term because it is used way too often in promotional materials. But I ran out of soda due to a popcorn induced drymouth, and I did not want to leave and possibly miss another good moment, hense - riveting.
The most impressive thing of Casanova is the writing of the story & how the various interweaving storylines revolved around each other and did not interfere & cause confusion. Had the people responsible for this movie did anything different, things would have become muddled & many in the audience would be whispering between themselves trying to find out what is going on. Instead everything is laid out in a very precise intricate way that the viewer is not distracted from what is on the screen, and thus fully enjoy the full story and comedy that ensues.
I could go on, but in summary this says it best:
Try not to miss this one.
Blessed Be, Dr. Strangelove

Welcome to the Gnu year.
After dealing with twirps, twips, and people nagging at me for the last few weeks "merry, happy, etc. {insert holiday here}", had left me with the want to snipe random cars from the top of my building.
I finally know & enjoy what a new year means. This was not intentional, but I am glad that I had the chance to enjoy the holiday season.
As I sit here at my favorite pub during our xmas party, I feel happy. Not from the beer. But from the people around me. Yes some of them are people that would not say 'BOO' to me any other day. But we all are hanging out, shareing food & drink, and plain out having fun togather.
I wish everyone could be this way every day to each other and not have an end of the year thing.
All I know right now is we are all living in peace, here, now, and in the moment.
Maybe some others in the world should take the hint.
Blessed Be, and "please be kind / rewind"
