i went through my emails and read this EXTREMELY important article:

for some godforsaken reason i did a google search and came up with this:

i don't know what to do anymore. i can't do my work. it just feels wrong.
my father suggested it would be more constructive to go down to florida or something and register people to vote rather than the RNC and fuck shit up. but i'm so angry. i feel like we owe it to the world. in montreal some guy had a shirt with an american flag that said, "a nation of sheep, lead by wolves." voting is so minimal. it's so useless and litterally the least anybody can do. part of me is insluted by the idea of working my ass off to register people to vote in a country that very well might opt to keep this murderous administration in power. how could i knock on a door and remain rational when this shit is going on and people might actually like it? you know last week the single most searched for thing on the internet was the video of that american getting his head chopped off. that's what people want to see. we're a nation of sick people. distracted and entertained. we prefer some one smiling and giving the thumbs up while simultaniously doing his best to destroy all non-corporate or religious aspects of government and bring about the rapture. people want positivity regardless of reality. even kerry can't decide if he's going to speak straight up or try to put a positive spin on everything. and this is how most people will vote, who is the nicest guy, who would i have over for dinner..and these people bitching about kerry, like it matters who kerry is! why even spend the energy to think about it? talk him up! send him your money and get his ass in office! canadians too, you think this isn't your problem? this is the ENTIRE world's problem at this point. wearing a t-shit, marching around in a circle, and feeling good about yourself does not cut it anymore. honestly, i don't think the RNC is that important. it's just a place to express some pent up shit. but i just don't know what else to do.
seriously, i feel hopeless and desperate. please send me an email to make me feel better. even if it's just to tel me you feel like this too and want to do soemthing.
