More Than a Linguist
"Anyone who says, 'I don't care if Bush gets elected' is basically telling poor and working people in the country, 'I don't care if your lives are destroyed.

That's a way of saying, 'Pay no attention to me, because I don't care about you.' Apart from its being wrong, it's a recipe for disaster if you're hoping to ever develop a popular movement and a political alternative."

Fare thee well,
global extinction's forever.
So what the hell,
order your Mercedes in leather
Veal crates, ozone holes
and toxic waste
And don't count out religious hate
Who can survive this manmade fate?
