I am in a bit of a mood at present anyway. I have been reading the student newspaper and they have a huge article in there attacking me and my Stop the War friends at LSE. Not just attacking the principle of peace - actually attacking us and the way we have protested. I am a bit pissed off to be frank that some bloke I have never met is just writing that I am ignorant. He describes as having a "glutinous feast of Anti Americanism.", which I think is a little unfair to say the least.
Git.
I can relate to that....
I get soooooo bored with being jumped on every time I venture to subject American (and British for that matter) motives in prosecuting this war, or methods thereof to any kind of questioning or analysis.
People taking issue with my facts/opinions is one thing - and fine. I am aware that I am not the source of all wisdom on this matter.
(Yes, really...)
What does piss me off are the charges which are regularly levelled at my head of being 'anti-civilisation', 'pro-terrorist' 'anti-american' 'anti-west' 'osama -loving' &tc &tc ad nauseaum ad infinitum.
Like what do people want? For example, are we're supposed to just sit back and let a load of panic sticken politicians slap a whole load of terrorist curbing regulations in place which just happen to have huge implications for the future of the environmental and anti-globalism movements, not to mention a whole host of other things, without so much as saying boo?
I think not.
Think I'll leave it there for the time being. I can feel a rant coming on... and I don't have time... gotta go OUT into the big wide, screenless world... (although that last might be a matter of opinion....)
