Current mood:patriotic
After reading George Washington's farewell address, it's clear that our nation's first commander in chief is spinning in his grave. Two hundred and eleven years ago, President Washington knew exactly what was wrong with our nation today.
On Partisanship
"In contemplating the causes, which may disturb our Union, it occurs as matter of serious concern, that any ground should have been furnished for characterizing parties by Geographical discriminations, Northern and Southern, Atlantic and Western; whence designing men may endeavour to excite a belief, that there is a real difference of local interests and views. One of the expedients of party to acquire influence, within particular districts, is to misrepresent the opinions and aims of other districts. You cannot shield yourselves too much against the jealousies and heart-burnings, which spring from these misrepresentations; they tend to render alien to each other those, who ought to be bound together by fraternal affection."
On Special Interests and Ignoring the Law and Constitution
"All obstructions to the execution of the Laws, all combinations and associations, under whatever plausible character, with the real design to direct, control, counteract, or awe the regular deliberation and action of the constituted authorities, are destructive of this fundamental principle, and of fatal tendency. They serve to organize faction, to give it an artificial and extraordinary force; to put, in the place of the delegated will of the nation, the will of a party, often a small but artful and enterprising minority of the community; and, according to the alternate triumphs of different parties, to make the public administration the mirror of the ill-concerted and incongruous projects of faction, rather than the organ of consistent and wholesome plans digested by common counsels, and modified by mutual interests.
However combinations or associations of the above description may now and then answer popular ends, they are likely, in the course of time and things, to become potent engines, by which cunning, ambitious, and unprincipled men will be enabled to subvert the power of the people, and to usurp for themselves the reins of government; destroying afterwards the very engines, which have lifted them to unjust dominion."
On Dividing a Nation
"I have already intimated to you the danger of parties in the state, with particular reference to the founding of them on geographical discriminations. Let me now take a more comprehensive view, and warn you in the most solemn manner against the baneful effects of the spirit of party, generally.
This spirit, unfortunately, is inseparable from our nature, having its root in the strongest passions of the human mind. It exists under different shapes in all governments, more or less stifled, controlled, or repressed; but, in those of the popular form, it is seen in its greatest rankness, and is truly their worst enemy.
The alternate domination of one faction over another, sharpened by the spirit of revenge, natural to party dissension, which in different ages and countries has perpetrated the most horrid enormities, is itself a frightful despotism. But this leads at length to a more formal and permanent despotism. The disorders and miseries, which result, gradually incline the minds of men to seek security and repose in the absolute power of an individual; and sooner or later the chief of some prevailing faction, more able or more fortunate than his competitors, turns this disposition to the purposes of his own elevation, on the ruins of Public Liberty.
Without looking forward to an extremity of this kind, (which nevertheless ought not to be entirely out of sight,) the common and continual mischiefs of the spirit of party are sufficient to make it the interest and duty of a wise people to discourage and restrain it.
It serves always to distract the Public Councils, and enfeeble the Public Administration. It agitates the Community with ill-founded jealousies and false alarms; kindles the animosity of one part against another, foments occasionally riot and insurrection. It opens the door to foreign influence and corruption, which find a facilitated access to the government itself through the channels of party passions. Thus the policy and the will of one country are subjected to the policy and will of another.
There is an opinion, that parties in free countries are useful checks upon the administration of the Government, and serve to keep alive the spirit of Liberty. This within certain limits is probably true; and in Governments of a Monarchical cast, Patriotism may look with indulgence, if not with favor, upon the spirit of party. But in those of the popular character, in Governments purely elective, it is a spirit not to be encouraged. From their natural tendency, it is certain there will always be enough of that spirit for every salutary purpose. And, there being constant danger of excess, the effort ought to be, by force of public opinion, to mitigate and assuage it. A fire not to be quenched, it demands a uniform vigilance to prevent its bursting into a flame, lest, instead of warming, it should consume.
It is important, likewise, that the habits of thinking in a free country should inspire caution, in those intrusted with its administration, to confine themselves within their respective constitutional spheres, avoiding in the exercise of the powers of one department to encroach upon another. The spirit of encroachment tends to consolidate the powers of all the departments in one, and thus to create, whatever the form of government, a real despotism. A just estimate of that love of power, and proneness to abuse it, which predominates in the human heart, is sufficient to satisfy us of the truth of this position. The necessity of reciprocal checks in the exercise of political power, by dividing and distributing it into different depositories, and constituting each the Guardian of the Public Weal against invasions by the others, has been evinced by experiments ancient and modern; some of them in our country and under our own eyes. To preserve them must be as necessary as to institute them. If, in the opinion of the people, the distribution or modification of the constitutional powers be in any particular wrong, let it be corrected by an amendment in the way, which the constitution designates. But let there be no change by usurpation; for, though this, in one instance, may be the instrument of good, it is the customary weapon by which free governments are destroyed. The precedent must always greatly overbalance in permanent evil any partial or transient benefit, which the use can at any time yield."
On Foreign Policy and the Benefits of Isolationism
"Observe good faith and justice towards all Nations; cultivate peace and harmony with all. Religion and Morality enjoin this conduct; and can it be, that good policy does not equally enjoin it? It will be worthy of a free, enlightened, and, at no distant period, a great Nation, to give to mankind the magnanimous and too novel example of a people always guided by an exalted justice and benevolence. Who can doubt, that, in the course of time and things, the fruits of such a plan would richly repay any temporary advantages, which might be lost by a steady adherence to it ? Can it be, that Providence has not connected the permanent felicity of a Nation with its Virtue? The experiment, at least, is recommended by every sentiment which ennobles human nature. Alas! is it rendered impossible by its vices ?
In the execution of such a plan, nothing is more essential, than that permanent, inveterate antipathies against particular Nations, and passionate attachments for others, should be excluded; and that, in place of them, just and amicable feelings towards all should be cultivated. The Nation, which indulges towards another an habitual hatred, or an habitual fondness, is in some degree a slave. It is a slave to its animosity or to its affection, either of which is sufficient to lead it astray from its duty and its interest. Antipathy in one nation against another disposes each more readily to offer insult and injury, to lay hold of slight causes of umbrage, and to be haughty and intractable, when accidental or trifling occasions of dispute occur. Hence frequent collisions, obstinate, envenomed, and bloody contests. The Nation, prompted by ill-will and resentment, sometimes impels to war the Government, contrary to the best calculations of policy. The Government sometimes participates in the national propensity, and adopts through passion what reason would reject; at other times, it makes the animosity of the nation subservient to projects of hostility instigated by pride, ambition, and other sinister and pernicious motives. The peace often, sometimes perhaps the liberty, of Nations has been the victim.
So likewise, a passionate attachment of one Nation for another produces a variety of evils. Sympathy for the favorite Nation, facilitating the illusion of an imaginary common interest, in cases where no real common interest exists, and infusing into one the enmities of the other, betrays the former into a participation in the quarrels and wars of the latter, without adequate inducement or justification. It leads also to concessions to the favorite Nation of privileges denied to others, which is apt doubly to injure the Nation making the concessions; by unnecessarily parting with what ought to have been retained; and by exciting jealousy, ill-will, and a disposition to retaliate, in the parties from whom equal privileges are withheld. And it gives to ambitious, corrupted, or deluded citizens, (who devote themselves to the favorite nation,) facility to betray or sacrifice the interests of their own country, without odium, sometimes even with popularity; gilding, with the appearances of a virtuous sense of obligation, a commendable deference for public opinion, or a laudable zeal for public good, the base or foolish compliances of ambition, corruption, or infatuation.
As avenues to foreign influence in innumerable ways, such attachments are particularly alarming to the truly enlightened and independent Patriot. How many opportunities do they afford to tamper with domestic factions, to practise the arts of seduction, to mislead public opinion, to influence or awe the Public Councils! Such an attachment of a small or weak, towards a great and powerful nation, dooms the former to be the satellite of the latter.
Against the insidious wiles of foreign influence (I conjure you to believe me, fellow-citizens,) the jealousy of a free people ought to be constantly awake; since history and experience prove, that foreign influence is one of the most baneful foes of Republican Government. But that jealousy, to be useful, must be impartial; else it becomes the instrument of the very influence to be avoided, instead of a defence against it. Excessive partiality for one foreign nation, and excessive dislike of another, cause those whom they actuate to see danger only on one side, and serve to veil and even second the arts of influence on the other. Real patriots, who may resist the intrigues of the favorite, are liable to become suspected and odious; while its tools and dupes usurp the applause and confidence of the people, to surrender their interests.
The great rule of conduct for us, in regard to foreign nations, is, in extending our commercial relations, to have with them as little political connexion as possible. So far as we have already formed engagements, let them be fulfilled with perfect good faith. Here let us stop.
Europe has a set of primary interests, which to us have none, or a very remote relation. Hence she must be engaged in frequent controversies, the causes of which are essentially foreign to our concerns. Hence, therefore, it must be unwise in us to implicate ourselves, by artificial ties, in the ordinary vicissitudes of her politics, or the ordinary combinations and collisions of her friendships or enmities.
Our detached and distant situation invites and enables us to pursue a different course. If we remain one people, under an efficient government, the period is not far off, when we may defy material injury from external annoyance; when we may take such an attitude as will cause the neutrality, we may at any time resolve upon, to be scrupulously respected; when belligerent nations, under the impossibility of making acquisitions upon us, will not lightly hazard the giving us provocation; when we may choose peace or war, as our interest, guided by justice, shall counsel.
Why forego the advantages of so peculiar a situation? Why quit our own to stand upon foreign ground? Why, by interweaving our destiny with that of any part of Europe, entangle our peace and prosperity in the toils of European ambition, rivalship, interest, humor, or caprice?
It is our true policy to steer clear of permanent alliances with any portion of the foreign world; so far, I mean, as we are now at liberty to do it; for let me not be understood as capable of patronizing infidelity to existing engagements. I hold the maxim no less applicable to public than to private affairs, that honesty is always the best policy. I repeat it, therefore, let those engagements be observed in their genuine sense. But, in my opinion, it is unnecessary and would be unwise to extend them.
Taking care always to keep ourselves, by suitable establishments, on a respectable defensive posture, we may safely trust to temporary alliances for extraordinary emergencies.
Harmony, liberal intercourse with all nations, are recommended by policy, humanity, and interest. But even our commercial policy should hold an equal and impartial hand; neither seeking nor granting exclusive favors or preferences; consulting the natural course of things; diffusing and diversifying by gentle means the streams of commerce, but forcing nothing; establishing, with powers so disposed, in order to give trade a stable course, to define the rights of our merchants, and to enable the government to support them, conventional rules of intercourse, the best that present circumstances and mutual opinion will permit, but temporary, and liable to be from time to time abandoned or varied, as experience and circumstances shall dictate; constantly keeping in view, that it is folly in one nation to look for disinterested favors from another; that it must pay with a portion of its independence for whatever it may accept under that character; that, by such acceptance, it may place itself in the condition of having given equivalents for nominal favors, and yet of being reproached with ingratitude for not giving more. There can be no greater error than to expect or calculate upon real favors from nation to nation. It is an illusion, which experience must cure, which a just pride ought to discard."
What do you think our first president would say of George W. Bush, his administration, his policy and his legacy? Honestly, I don't believe he would say a word. He would weep.
"In offering to you, my countrymen, these counsels of an old and affectionate friend, I dare not hope they will make the strong and lasting impression I could wish; that they will control the usual current of the passions, or prevent our nation from running the course, which has hitherto marked the destiny of nations. But, if I may even flatter myself, that they may be productive of some partial benefit, some occasional good; that they may now and then recur to moderate the fury of party spirit, to warn against the mischiefs of foreign intrigue, to guard against the impostures of pretended patriotism; this hope will be a full recompense for the solicitude for your welfare, by which they have been dictated. "
Who's the real patriot?
Here's the full speech:

If you haven't heard, because you're deaf, blind or both, we have elected the first African-American in the history of The United States of America as our next president. Did anyone else hear the entire world's sigh of relief? It feels as though a tremendous burden has been lifted from our shoulders. Yes, there's still much work to be done, but at least we will finally have an administration that's competent and willing to work for the American people on their behalf. For those people who are still asking, "Who is Barack Obama?", here's your answer: Barack Obama on WikipediaIf that still doesn't answer your question, I suggest you pick up a book and read it. There's plenty of them. Finally, we have a president that we can be proud of. I must admit, I was pessimistic about the election. After 2000 and 2004, I was almost certain that the Republican party would find a way to pilfer the election from the American people. Barack Obama may have won the election, but there are still far too many people out there who believe that, even after the miserable failure of the past eight years, the Republican party is the answer. To them I say, as Barack Obama said in his speech following his victory, he is your president, too. Whether or not you agree with all of his policies or not, he is looking out for your best interests. If you're one of those people who will, amazingly, be affected by his tax increases, remember, he's not doing it to hurt you, he's doing it to bring this nation back to greatness. We can't do that without the middle class. The war on the middle class is officially over. Remember, it's the middle class who create the wealthy. Without the middle class' ability to purchase goods and services, the wealthy are losing more income than they would be over a tax increase. Okay, enough bickering on my part. All I'm saying is that I am very proud to have this man as our next president and greatly relieved that Sarah Palin isn't a heartbeat away from it. Change has come to America.

I can't begin to describe the past few weeks. First, my stepmother passed away two weeks ago. She was only fifty years old. I spent several days with my father. I was a tragic time, but it was good to see all of my family again. There were a lot of people that I hadn't seen in years at the funeral service. My sister, Bethany, also came to the service. This was the first time (and only the second, altogether) in ten years that my sister and father had seen each other. A few days later, my mother and father sat and talked for the first time in around twenty-two years, aside from a handful of conversations they've had about me. I was relieved to see so much healing taking place.
This past weekend, I attended my first Smashing Pumpkins concert. I've waited thirteen years to see them live. It was well worth the wait. The show was absolutely amazing. I had seen Billy Corgan with Zwan in 2003, which was awesome, but it wasn't the same. Those weren't the songs I grew up on. The music of The Smashing Pumpkins has been the soundtrack to my life for many years. These songs have been with me through sorrow, tragedy, bliss and love.
Next up, the election. It all comes down to one single day of voting madness. Needless to say, I'll be up all night awaiting the news of Obama's presidency. It's very sad that his grandmother had passed away this morning. What could possibly be more sad than a grandmother's passing just a day before her grandson is elected leader of the free world?
What could possibly happen next? If McCain is elected, it could be a mass exodus to Canada and Mexico. Let's hope it doesn't come down to that. Get out and vote, damnit!

What were my thoughts after watching tonight's debate?
The Republicans think that we, the American people, are absolutely ignorant. Did anyone else notice Sarah Palin's use of words like "ya'll, comin', Joe six-pack and hockey moms"? Really? Am I the only one? I seriously hope that you, whoever you are, are not lacking enough grey matter to seriously believe that these people are the least bit "down to Earth". Who, in their right mind, could possibly believe that giving more money and tax breaks to the very people who are destroying our economy and our country will have any benefit whatsoever for the average American? No one with a measurable I.Q. should believe such nonsense. However, the Republican puppet masters believe that by using middle class language like "Joe six-pack", ignorant Americans will give them their trust and allow them to continue the rape and pillage of The United States of America. Please, I beg of you, don't fall for this.
Another thing that's been mentioned time and time again is Palin's physical appearance. Here's how I see it. A lot of people think Paris Hilton is "hot", but that doesn't mean we're prepared to give her the spare keys to The White House. That's all I have to say about that.
After the debate, several commentators mentioned how well she held up during her debate with Senator Joe Biden. You didn't think the Republican puppet masters were going to let her go on stage with an experienced man like Biden without some intense preparation, did you? You know that woman was locked in a dim-lit room for at least a week with Carl Rove, her eyelids taped open and wearing a shock collar. Thankfully, some people actually noticed several mistakes she had made while speaking. It's obvious to me that she really doesn't know much beyond what her masters had taught her in the past week. I also believe that this is why she had dodged and ignored a few accusations. I don't believe she was prepared for everything Biden would say.
If you ask me, it's quite clear that this is nothing but psychological warfare coming from the Republican party. These people don't care if you live, die or grow mushrooms in the crack of your ass. McCain can't even remember how many houses he owns, let alone spare enough brain activity to care about you or your problems. Are you aware that the $700,000,000,000 bailout, if given to the American people instead of the very corporations that fucked everything up in the first place, could pay off every single mortgage in The United States of America under $75,000? Can you even begin to imagine how that would stimulate the economy? Giving all of that money to the corporations doesn't do anything for the American people that they've fucked over with their predatory lending. Sure, let's put a band-aid on the vampire.
Right now, this country is so ass backwards, I can't even stand it. Does anyone find it ironic that Germany and Japan are socioeconomically better off than we are in America?

What is Google Chrome? It's a new, open source web browser from Google built on top of Apple's WebKit rendering engine. On top of using what is already the best HTML rendering engine, Chrome also features a some new innovations, such as running each browser tab as a separate process, meaning that if one web page doesn't respond, it won't crash your entire browser. That's a pretty good idea. Since Chrome is open source, we could see other browsers, such as Safari, adopt some of these new ideas in the future. Safari's rendering engine, WebKit, is open source, but Safari itself is not. To me, the best thing about Chrome is that it's one more browser that adheres to open web standards and it puts another large nail in Internet Explorer's coffin.

What could be more humorous than Steve Jobs and Bill Gates sharing an apartment together? Whether you're a PC user or a Mac user, this comic strip is just plain funny. I wonder when Linus Torvalds will join in on the fun.  For those of you who may not understand, Steve Jobs created the Macintosh, Bill Gates created Windows and Linus Torvalds created Linux. There has been fierce debate between the users of these operating systems for many years and many more to come.

Why do I support Barack Obama? Well, as most of you know, my ideology leans far to the left. Pretty much as far to the left as anyone can get. Specifically, I am a secular humanist. That said, no Democratic candidate will ever be left enough for me, but we have to take what we can get, right? I've read that Obama's voting record leans to the left more than any other senator. That's good enough for me. I don't feel that this country will ever suit my ideology in my lifetime, but one thing's certain, our country is heading in the wrong direction. The media has divided us into two distinct groups, liberals and conservatives. We're much easier to control this way. It's been a long time since this country has been so divided. I've seen a lot of this country first hand, and I can say, without a shadow of a doubt, that most of us are pretty much the same. We don't agree on everything, but we all have a common lifestyle, a common background. We're all Americans. I don't know how we've allowed ourselves to be divided like this, but it's time to put our differences aside and fix what is essentially broken. I found Obama's speech at the DNC to be rather uplifting and I'd like to share it with you.

If your using Microsoft Internet Explorer, you will notice that my page looks nothing like the image below. Why? Because Microsoft doesn't play well with others. Internet Explorer does not work well with the web's "open standards" like other browsers do. Pages built on these open standards usually won't be displayed correctly with Internet Explorer. There is a test for web browsers that will tell you how well your browser works with open standards. Click here to test your browser. Firefox will score well and Safari will score even higher. With WebKit, Safari will score 100/100. Internet Explorer, on the other hand, fails miserably. Other browsers are also far more secure than Internet Explorer. What does this all mean? It's time to stop using Internet Explorer. It's time to use something better. I suggest either Mozilla's Firefox 3 or Apple's Safari 3. You can download Firefox here and Safari here.  (UPDATE) I've actually managed to find a work-around for Internet Explorer's inadequacies. It wasn't easy. I had to take every single image on my profile and manually fill in my profile's background color using Photoshop, since Internet Explorer 6 doesn't properly display transparent PNG images. So, that takes care of things, for now, but if I ever want to change my background color, I'm going to have to go through the whole process over again if I want my page to look right in Internet Explorer 6.

I fear for future generations Lost within a youthless nation Fading through the din of cheers Which fall upon an old deaf ear Dreaming of a distant land Where unborn children understand All paths lead to one location Lost within a youthless nation We know the game and play it well All are marked and priced to sell Treading hope and wasting time Forward marching past their prime Leading us not to temptation Lost within a youthless nation
