Brain not working properly today...

I didn't sleep last night. I don't know why. I went to bed and lay there until four thirty in the morning when I finally fell asleep. I wasn't tired at all. Not even the slightest little bit. I got up and took some homeopathic chamomile about an hour before I finally passed out. I just don't know what was wrong with me. It was like I was on speed

I read your letter in the naturalfamily community, and I didn't think it was psychotic at all, I thought it was awesome. Just because complacent Americans' delicate sensibilities cannot deal with the truth about the processes of consumption they engage in, doesn't mean it is not absolutely true. No one wants to hear that they are complicit in an industry of violence and global injustice, so people who speak up about in ways that are not "legitimate" (like, whatever "issue" campaigns they profile in Glamour or whatever) are classified as psychos, in order to take the legitimacy away and thus render their argument as fringy and nothing to pay attention to. That is a particularly insidious and self-serving mechanism through which hegemony works. Doesn't mean your letter was psycho, it was true.

Did you read the first version? It was WAY psychotic, LOL. It was pretty out there. It was rambly and went off topic and was just...well, crazy. I slept last night, so no more bad writing for me!
