The Antisocial Socialist

So by now you all know about Mississippi and Kentucky trying to ban abortion.

As the USians have taught us, life begins at conception...and ends at birth. It seems that our new government now wants to start locking up 12-year-olds and automatically trying 14-year-olds as adults.

Hey, I have an idea. Why not just arrest them the second they pop out? That'll send a good law-and-order message, and I'm sure they're guilty of something.

Has anyone ever written a thesis applying Foucault's analysis of the Panopticon to the design of open-concept offices?

I've been making icons lately that I don't plan on actually using. I kind of like them, though, so I thought I'd toss them out into LJ and see if anyone wanted them.

( Kitties, hedgies, and young Republicans, oh my! )

And now, the Ted Nugent Quote of the Day:

Oh, and by the way, smoking will not make you sexy, a party animal, cool, or a cowboy, no matter how much you do it. You knew that didn't you? Good. And they don't taste good either. Try licking an ashtray. And instead of slamming me for not minding my own business, I, as your American BloodBrother, merely ask you to think about it. Quality of life upgrade so all of us live as long as possible, as healthy as possible, to fight as strongly as possible. Too much to ask? Don't think so. I make these points because I DEEPLY CARE. I do not take the term BloodBrother lightly. I take it gigantically to heart. I want all Americans to be better, to be willing and better prepared to fight for what we believe in. Equality is for sheep. Be better or get sheered.

And in the next paragraph, we have:

I applaud Budweiser and Anheuser-Busch for their generous conservation and prohunting campaigns. Same for Coors and their consistent support of hunting and the Second Amendment. But who is in charge of your drinking habits? Who? Your buddies? Use your brain, comrade. Don't pickle it.

I'm done my latest scarf. Pictures to come.
