••can ye pass the acid test?••

ye who enter here be afraid, but do what ye must -- to defeat your fear ye must defy it.

& defeat it ye must, for only then can we begin to realize liberty & justice for all.

time bomb tick tock? nervous tic talk? war on war?

or just a blog crying in the wilderness, trying to make sense of it all, terror-fried by hate radio and FOX, the number of whose name is 666??? (coincidence?)

let'em eat candy

it's not getting as much attention as saturday's terror bombing in bali, but indonesians protested on friday.

their gasoline price jumped 87% when the government cut subsidies in the only opec nation that imports oil.

police passed thru crowds handing out sweets to spontaneous demonstrators as speakers delivered passionate exhortations. it worked for a while: the protests were described as "half-hearted." then the top blew off.

indonesia is the world's 4th most populous country. half its 220 million people live on less than $2 a day.
