Full of unexpectedness.<\/p>\n

Went to see Noam Chomsky movie thing with . It was kinda lame & pretty expensive. The man has a gigantic cult surrounding him, and I honestly feel a combination of pity and envy towards him because of it. I think the views articulated in this little film are a fairly reasonable synthesis. The claim is that a major portion of US foreign policy is exercised through the military, and violent intervention. And that we really don’t have any moral high ground when it comes to terrorism. I generally agree with that. <\/p>\n

He also makes the point that this general system of interaction has been going on far longer than the United States has existed. Powerful nations fuck around with less powerful nations all the time. There were certainly incidents of the same nature before Alexander the Great, but he’s not a bad early-western-history example. Again, I agree. <shrug><\/p>\n

There were alot of little points to it. Nothing terribly earthshattering in what he said. I don’t think I want to join the cult, but he makes some good points.<\/p>\n

went home, and I started home too. Then I saw a used bookstore (on telegraph, whodathunk?) and went in, decided to check out the sci-fi section and hear familiar voices. Turns out Dave and Ian from the clinic are one isle over (just got out of bowling for collumbine). Much chatting ensues, Russell shows up. We wander over to the clinic, by way of the post office. Russell goes to a party. Dave, Ian, and I take a little trip to pack & save, followed by an after-official hours jaunt at the marina, where we have a little picnic on the rocks and talk about all sorts of stuff. It was cool, and random. I was really nervous about being there after the park was officially closed, but no ill came of it. I’m so boundary conscious.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
