read this today, somehow i thought you all might like it
"Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, martini in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO what a ride!"

from an article on Brian Haw, by Tom Templeton
Brian Haw, 55, is facing his fourth Christmas on the pavement opposite the Houses of Parliament, surrounded by placards showing a fraction of the toll that two wars and 13 years of sanctions have taken on the children of Iraq. Bodies mangled by hunger, depleted uranium cancers, and live ammunition: bunker busters, daisycutters, cruise missiles, snipers, machine guns and pistols. During his 1309 days of protest, Haw has been assaulted three times by members of the public, had his display ripped down by the police and survived an attempt by Westminster council to evict him. The verbal insults come every day. He's been sleeping under a green tarp since he left his wife and children behind in Worcestershire over 'a genocide too far' in the summer of 2001. At first it was the sanctions that caused more than a million deaths in Iraq, then the invasion that The Lancet reported has probably killed 100,000 civilians. As a Christian he cannot understand the Prime Minister's brand of faith. 'Blair, murderer: repent and you will be saved,' he tells him through his loudspeaker. Passers-by, tourists, students and schoolchildren end up conversing with Haw, whose evangelical poetry is smattered with Descartes, Churchill, Donovan and the Bible. Haw's dad was a sniper in the Second World War who liberated Belsen, then gassed himself 20 years later. And Haw himself was in Northern Ireland as the Troubles started, in Cambodia protesting against the killing fields, and in Berlin when the wall fell. Now David Blunkett is tacking a law on to the new Serious Organised Crime Bill just to get rid of him- 'a sledgehammer to crack a nut,' he jokes. 'We could feed and water everyone hungry in the world for a 15th of what we spend on arms each year. That's kind of consistent with sanity, isn't it?' the 'nut' asks. Some teenagers wander over to express doubt about the UK helping defent nuclear bohemoth America against a Third World country. 'Aren't they wonderful? Makes me want to cry,' says Haw Asked why he has put himself on the street, risking hatred, violence and a devestating separation from his family, Haw quotes Matin Luther, 'I can do no other.'

(for anyone's info, David Blunkett WAS our Home Secretary, however he recently had to resign over revelations he was having an affair with a married woman, and was scamming travel for her, and rushed her kids nanny a work visa through the system. So you see, a nasty piece of work)

*smiting* from the ballad of accounting, i know karan casey does a cover but i don't remember who did it originally.
Did you ever demand any answers? The who and the what and the reason why? Did you ever question the setup? Did you stand aside and let them choose while you took second best? Did you let them skim the cream off and then give to you the rest? Did you settle for the shoddy? Did you think it right To let them rob you right and left and never make a fight, never make a fight, never make a fight?
What did you learn in the morning? How much did you know in the afternoon? Were you content in the evening? Did they teach you how to question when you were at the school? Did the factory help you grow, were you the maker or the tool? Did the place where you were living enrich your life and then Did you reach some understanding of all your fellow men, all your fellow men, all your fellow men?

i talk about this song a lot, so here. it does inspire, it's a great driving song
good charlotte - east coast anthem
Walkin' on the streets of DC on the East Coast - where I live you say "what's the problem?" "what's with this angry kid?" You dont like the way I walk or the way I talk, or the way I swing my hands, you dont like the words I speak, or the thoughts I think and I know you'll never understand.
You know, on the East Coast we ride until we die you know well there's a place inside my mind, yeah a place you'll never find there's a place inside my mind walk this way you know.
And wouldn't it be perfect if I could sit with you? and we would change a thing or two? we'd change a thing or two? we would change the way you think we would change the way I think we cant change the way they think so we're not changin' anything you know
