The Mercury News
Good Benevolence, I do not take your name in vain but pray that you are guiding this Christian-God-fearing individual well!
Oh, you President Bush, what are you thinking about trying to research sending a man to Mars? This is just one of your stupid political ploy! Are you trying to be John F. Kennedy, who happens to be a Democrat? You crazy, deluded, crazy, deluded, short little man!
Rather than employing fiscal responsibility and making the government smaller, you have expanded its awe-inspiring size! Against what are you competing? There is no Soviet Union here, though your feeble little mind cannot comprehend that fact, apparently.
The death planet will break any man's will, even an American. Do not do this, at least until faster-than-light travel is invented.

Copsrus-Anthems and Flags of the Nations of the World
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
And Crown thy goods with brotherhoods
From sea to shining sea!
My own fabrication:
America! America!
Let not thy land be tarnishéd!
Though many men and women die for thee,
Their blood stain thee not, but have fed
To thy beauty, and thy cause of liberty!
America! You stand alone!
America! You are the stone!
The tide to all the world that does ebb and flow!
America! I will follow you, to where you lead and go!
America! Of dual nature doth thou stand!
America! Blind is the justice in your land!
And whether that be bad or good,
America, for thee we give our blood!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
And Crown thy goods with brotherhoods
From sea to shining sea!

Grist | Let the sun | 19 Dec 2003
I just learned that you shouldn't put your car in neutral when you are coasting on the freeway. The reason is that by leaving your car in Drive mode, the car's engine will run from the movement of the car, requiring little gasoline. However, by putting your car in neutral, the engine must continue to run idle mode, which would require more gas because the the speed of the car is not running the engine, so the engine must run itself.

United Press International: Bush takes on illegal workers
President Bush has taken a good and sturdy step toward welcoming the illegal aliens by allowing them to obtain temporary guest worker status. With the such a controversial issue, this middle path is the one of the few paths the President can safely take to ensure his re-election.
As the son of parents who immigrated here, I am often divided between fully accepting immigration as a necessary part of allowing children lucky enough to be born here to live the American life and saying that illegal aliens should not be allowed here.
I realized that I am sometimes hostile to the Mexican immigration not because they are taking jobs but because they are bring bad table manners and unclean habits to our country.
I am not hostile to people of Mexican descent in general because the people I have met are somewhat nice, perhaps conceited. Unfortunately, as I remember that my Toyota car was broken into, apparently to steal the glass window, some motor oils, and books, my mouth grows frothy with loathing at these Mexican and African bastards.

What Theologian of the Christian Church are you?
What theologian are you?
A creation of Henderson
from Just Lisa
I have no idea who Karl Barth is, but I will say, at the moment that I answered the quiz, I was in a state of psychology that closely match the quiz's determination of who my christian theologian would be. Well, I'll have to answer some questions differently to get what I think is really me, but for a first, it seems to have hit a little off the mark of my true philosophy.
Now is the second day of the second quarter of the second year of this student. What could be more mystic than this day, when I felt the deep despair and isolation. I suppose it could be isolation from God. Anyway, it is a journey, and I suffer myself to pass.
| "We reject the false doctrine that the church could have permission to hand over the form of its message and of its order to whatever it itself might wish or to the vicissitudes of the prevailing ideological and political convictions of the day." |
| You are Karl Barth! You like your freedom, and are pretty stubborn against authority! You don't care much for other people's opinions either. You can come up with your own fun, and often enough you have too much fun. You are pretty popular because you let people have their way, even when you have things figured out better than them. |

NASA - Mars
Spirit has landed in Mars! It's the first exciting event (for me, some enthusiasts, and the hard-working people of NASA, at the very least) to happen in the new year! I have nothing at all to contribute to this matter, except the hope of discovering life (perhaps once-living) outside of Earth.
I am still searching for my voice, my words in composing grand prose. So sometimes, especially for those reading about me for the first time, I will descend into pathetic rhapsodizing and/or poetizing. Most of the time, I just copy from something else.

School starts tomorrow, Monday!
I guess it is time to go back and face the music.
I think I'm ready.
All the worlds in the universe share the same sky, the same destiny.
Starting a journey isn't so hard, maybe because it's already begun.
Who knows, maybe life is simple after all.
The darkness is in my heart, and I am not alone.
There is another me out there, isn't there? Anti-Alan, my doppelganger . . .
Every light casts a shadow. So why be afraid?
Let Hercules himself do what he may.
The cat will mew and dog will have his day.
