.:Finally, Accomplished!:.

Doomed To Failure
Admittedly, despite our immersion in so-called democracy, even locally, we can’t really say that this is democracy is at work.

.:Resistance:.Any system, when overridden with numerous flaws, will almost always meet resistance. This is true for technology, this is most certainly true for politics and governance. The ability of a government to stem these insurgencies is almost always commensurate to what kind of resistance the government is meeting. Over the course of history ( Read more... )

.:A Clash Of The Times:.

All references to book pages are for "Multitude" by Hardt and Negri...To say that the military, given the new face of war, is polarized in support or in opposition to the so-called Revolution in Military Affairs, would be an understatement.

.:Oh. Em. Gee.:.

Highly recommended movie for those who want to park their brains at the door!

.:I Miss My Beloved...:.It's been a while since I've seen her. Sigh ( Read more... )

Yes, I do believe I used this title in the past for something I wrote before. Still, I hope you like it. =)

.:Virtueal Reality:.The prefix “meta” in any word will almost always indicate a coming after. Such is the case when we say that the achievements attributed to a legendary person have become “metahuman”, or when a story that alludes to ( Read more... )

Apparently, a good chunk of my other entries are still in my laptop at home, so this smattering of stuff that happened last week will hopefully suffice...

.:Speaking Of The Weekend...:.Well, Saturday wasn't exactly as quiet as I remembered it, considering how I actually had a magic show in the afternoon for Alaska, who were rather finicky clients ( Read more... )

.:Tsk, Tsk...:.So apparently, Mr. Calasanz was telling the department that someone in his class bent forks for him as a magic effect ( Read more... )
