alright, this is going to be a long ass entry. i just bought a janes addiction cd along with some others, but on the cd case cover there's this letter to "the mosquitos" and it's going to take me forever to type up, but i'm going to do it, because everyone needs to read it. plese please please read it. if the html works right, my favorite stuff is in bold.

here goes;

to the mosquitoes,

We have more influence over your children thatn you do, but we love your children. Most of you love them too, very much. You want what's best for them. Consider them when planning the future. RIght? Oh, mother, father, your blindness to our most blessed gift, NATURE, leaves us with the overwhelming task of correcting your utter mess. It also proves that you are no judge of art, nor of beauty. We learn from you how to become ideal adults?? There are subjects that you've passed over. or maybe they are too painful to speak about?

Nature and art __ what could be more breathtaking?

i use to wish sometimes that i was a black man. I listen to the way black men spoke when they spoke about freedom, jsutince, and himan rights. and in the way they spoke. I was sure they were speaking the truth. At the same time, there was a faint buzz spreading to all of us the suggestion that the black man was not to be treated equally. FOr this i envied the black man, because it gave him a passion for his living and a cause to die for.

Would you ever have imagined there would be children swinging in polluted playgrounds?

do you have children? do you see yourself in them ye4t? do they do whatever you tell them to? or do they question authority? do you take the time to explain things to them, or do you blame the rest of the world for their mistakes? i used to wish sometimes that i was a woman. a woman is the most attractive creature nature has to offer. why then is it such a shame to see her unclothed? i feel more shame as a man watching a quick mart being built. How complementary a woman is to a man! their giving of love is fearless. nature did right to tying the infant to the female. yet they also carry a sense of sadness. quite like a premonition of danger they hide but cant shake from their minds. I understand why they want to protect their children, but for their own good, let me point out that though you may have to explain subjects to your children that you percieve as wrong, it is better to have the freedom to explain it in your own words, then be silenced under a government that has the power to squash anyone who opposes their views. It may one day evolve to be your child that stands as opposition. who opposes the faint buss that suggests to us all that women are beneath men. woman have cause to live and reasons to die with dignity. this was not always the case. try to restrict our freedoms and we will fight even harder to preserve them. mother and fathers, grandmother and fathers, greatgrandmother, and fathers, great great grandmothers and fathers, you are responsible for more destruction done to this planet in the last one hundered years than in all of mankinds history combined. You've invented weapons capale of destroying every form of wild animal and vegetation. I am not sure what condition the world we are inheriting is in really. i just have a fear of smokestacks, and i don't trust the men who feed their flames.

there is an invisable force, the same one you have heard faintly buzzing all yrou life. this time it buzzes much louder. i myself have felt it's pain. when i looked down at the spot where it hurt. i saw a very small mosquito. a bug so old, it was known to Confucious as the "intellectual mosquito". He sucks off of you and he sucks off of me.

Sometimes to realize you were well someone must come along and hurt you.

I have grown to become proud of myself. I have aligned with all those who have been stung by suppression. as heirs to this planet, we must maintain honor and enjoy the gift of freedom. A cause to avlidate everyone's life? indeed.

THe world looks at america beacuse we are the beautiful. "

the end.

and i met someone today that shattered every perception i ever had of her from before.

i am going to stop using the word hate. its starting to make me wrong too many times.
