Damnit, I think I just killed my old journal entries by screwing with the layout. I want to make my icon my background, but I have no idea how to do this yet. Oh well, maybe I can fix it later. I'll have to repost what I just put up five minutes ago, though.
A frightening and fascinating article by the UK newspaper The Independent, published Oct. 13, 2003:
http://www.commondreams.org/headlines03/1013-01.htmI'm rather partial to this quote:
"What, then, is one to make of the fact that the owners of the three major computer voting machines are all prominent Republican Party donors? Or of a recent political fund-raising letter written to Ohio Republicans by Walden O'Dell, Diebold's chief executive, in which he said he was "committed to helping Ohio to deliver its electoral votes to the president next year" - even as his company was bidding for the contract on the state's new voting machinery?"
Also, although sites like

http://fuckthesouth.com have been warming the cockles of my liberal little heart, perhaps something more constructive is in order. Thus I recommend
"Top Ten Reasons Not to Move to Canada".
