| I have nothing important or real interesting to say. My heart is heavy and my brain is scrambled. A series of odd events have shaken me the the very core of my identity. For the first time in recent memory it is an internal struggle and not external conflicts that has distorted my realities.

| Lately I have been wondering what this life holds for me. Why am I where I am? Where will that lead? I can't and won't just sit around waiting for something to happen I guess I want to make something happen. But what?

| Since the last update I have: turned 21... That is about it. I have started to shop for graduate schools and what I want to spend six years after Columbia studying. I have grown proud of my Native American and Hebrew heritage through the persepective of outsiders and I have found a smaller part of the little piece that we all feel is missing.
RE: Oct. 5, A Day of Mass Resistance
Hear me out, I am about as radical far left as anyone in the city of Chicago. I disdain the Bush administration and the debaucle they have caused globally. I oppose their treatment of "combatant" detainees and their flagarant assault on the basic American civil liberties in the "homeland". I am disgusted and wretched by their economic policies, outspoken support for big business and their dedication to evangelical Christianity. In some many words I hate our president and his cabinet cronies. However, I do not condone "World Can't Wait".
Protest should be of the people by the people not commodified and turned into a political party. "World Can't Wait" is just as dangerous as the religious right in this country. They give progressives a bad wrap.
Times are scary and bad but anybody that solicits funds during my class time and then has the audacity to demand that I miss more class to come to their protest and then try to charge me for a sign then tells me I'm a bad American and part of the problem can really just fade away. It is a militant cult.
I do not care if our political ideologies are similar or mimic each other. They are brainwashing youth as much as the military-industrial complex is. Revolution is for the people. Revolution is by the people. Revolution is the people. Revolution is not banding together under splashy graphics and overpriced signs chanting poorly written protest chants.
People if you want change YOU must work for it. I guess I'll put it like this: All politics are local. Change will not happen because of one or two big events where thousands of people turn out. Change will only happen street by street basis. The war against the Corporate Theocracy is one for the hearts and minds of the American people.
World Can't Wait, if you are reading this (you can insert a pretentious philosophy/cultural studies nerd sigh of desperation here) you are missing the largest aspect of those powerful movements you are trying so hard to emmulate.
With that I must resign to attending a class and continuing to be a "bad American".
