because reporting 'real' issues is little more than art and hardly damages
precious corporate usa unless someone else competing in precious corporate
usa, like say -the body shop- wants them damaged.

i've seen this reported by everything from college newspapers to the nobel
peace prize committee. "we've" even discussed ken saro-wiwa here. well,
tried, but were told to shut up, we were too stupid to discuss such matters
and should leave that to people who really know how to grade papers.

i can't decide whether to blow up my car or waste gas and go see this video
tonight.

hey, did anybody see that chrysler, i think it is, just announced the
development an electric car based on -petroleum- fuel cells? it extracts
hydrogen from gasoline.

leave it to competition. o. boy.

this is why i read newspapers, man. yeah. crimony.

cry money.

anyway, thanks for the tip. see you there?
