Copied from a myspace bulletin I posted earlier today.

I've made the decision to join the Minutemen Militia.

I'm sure you are all thinking the same thing "WTF!?"

Well on my way to work today I overheard an peice on NPR about the Minutemen, their plan to open new chapters, and hate crimes that they have commited but not admitted to. Now these guys have pissed me off for a long time, but they played a short clip from a Minutemen confrence that really pissed me off.

The key note speaker was relaying a disscusion she had with a border patrol man, she asked him "How many times do you deport the same individual?". He replied stating that the policy is 7 times. She went on to say that is too many, then told about how she asked the border partrol man what they should do if they end up having to deport the person an 8th time. At that point someone from the audience yells out "Shoot him!" then the entire audience errupts in to a raucous laughter.

So naturally, I've decided to join their ranks and see if I can stir up some shit. I do have the perfect Disguse of Big Goofy White Guy, but it will take some serious acting on my part to hide the fact that I'm "a Reader". I'm sure I will have to significatly decrease the amount of syllables I use in any given sentence and I will probabaly have to add my least favortie words in the history of the english language to my spoken vocabulary.... "aint" and "yall".

Wish me luck.

The man who invented the Internet forgot how to use it.

Just like most people out there, I am only recently learning about Al Gore's new movie, AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH. As much as I depise award shows, news from these things is near impossible to avoid. In this one instance, I'm glad I couldn't dodge this tidbit.

I should clarify here, that I have not yet watched the movie, though I plan to. My issue here is simply something that came up while trying to get the DVD.

From the website:
http://www.climatecrisis.net/

"The DVD is packaged to make the smallest possible environmental footprint - it is made of 100% post-consumer waste recycled paper, no excess materials, and absolutely no plastics. "

Seriously? Comon, with the multidute of direct download services available, why do we need any packaging at all? I spent all of two seconds doing a Google search, and found lists of Torrent files for the Movie, but this is a situation where I might actually want to pay for the Movie, especially since "A portion of the proceeds from the sale of this DVD will benefit the bipartisan climate effort, The Alliance for Climate Protection. "

Alas, there is no mention of a entire movie download available on the Homepage. I ran a search on the new Bit Torrent Store, nothing.

If Mr. Gore and the rest of the Media community really want to get through to my demographic, they must understand me. I want my digital media imeadiately. I don't want to have to leave my house to get it. I don't want to wait for shipping. I don't feel I should have to pay for shipping something that I can download through an ISP that I already pay for.
