And right-wingers continue the meme that liberals “hate America.” My gosh, I just can’t wrap my head around it. I truly cannot. These people are so utterly consumed with their rage and nihilism they’ve lost their humanity. » Posted By Haruko Haruhara On September 22, 2011 @ 9:59 pm The GOP’s War on Women…at the State Level Grrr. This is an issue I get worked up about. In Montana, they tried to make an ultrasound a requirement for an abortion and women would be FORCED to be shown the ultrasound. There was actually language in the bill saying they could close their eyes if they chose. This was SO “Handmaid’s Tale.” That law failed to get out the House, but Texas has passed a similar, even more stringent one. Meanwhile, those same Republicans also cut funding for CHIP coverage. So they don’t care about children. They don’t care about kids. It’s all about dominating women. Why any woman votes Republican is absolutely beyond me. Assimilation syndrome, I guess. » Posted By Haruko Haruhara On September 22, 2011 @ 9:58 pm PWND: A Brief History of Video Games One thing I like about the games now is you can actually get a genuine workout with them. I have an exercise game for our Wii that I use when it is too icy or snowy out to run or ride my bike. » Posted By Haruko Haruhara On October 17, 2011 @ 2:10 pm Really interesting. I think the very first video game I ever played was The Legend of Zelda. When I was a kid I got Doom II and that actually gave me nightmares. I would be afraid to go through a door because I knew SOMETHING would be waiting on the other side. I’d have to turn the game off and go back later when I got my nerve up. I would have dreams of the monsters in Doom chasing me. We have a CD of really old video games from the 70s and 80s — Centipede, Tempest and Defender. It has that Space Wars, too. I like it that you can shoot off part of the little ship, but it can still fire at you. It’s kind of cool! But, the kids still like Halo and Half Life and Medal of Honour. » Posted By Haruko Haruhara On October 17, 2011 @ 10:57 am Pepe wrote about Elouise Cobell on PPOV, I believe. She died last night. She had been suffering from cancer but had said very little about it. She fought for 15 years to recover money for Indian trust royalties from the federal government with very little outside help and won a $3.4 billion settlement (which has not been paid out yet, unfortunately.). She did not live long enough to see Indians benefit from her work. http://indiancountrytodaymedianetwork.com/2011/10/eloise-cobell-65-walks-on/ » Posted By Haruko Haruhara On October 17, 2011 @ 3:40 pm You remember that movie where the guy went faster than light, then he pulled out his own eyeballs? Eeeek! “You break all the laws of physics and you seriously think there wouldn’t be a price? You went and killed the last fucking crew, and now you wanna kill us as well!” » Posted By Haruko Haruhara On September 22, 2011 @ 10:26 pm Cool! That’s a fairly conservative city, too. » Posted By Haruko Haruhara On September 22, 2011 @ 10:25 pm A Brief History of Islam, Part 1: Pre-Islamic Arabia – The Death of the Prophet Very interesting and well-written. I wonder, like Jesus and Christianity, what he would think of Islam today? » Posted By Haruko Haruhara On October 9, 2011 @ 4:00 pm America’s Shameful Culture of Rape BSM, I hope you don’t mind me reposting this story I told on the other site: This reminds me of an incident in a small town I lived in. The high school quarterback and his buddy, an all-conference linebacker, came up with a “scheme” to get girls drunk, and then they would rape them while they were too drunk to resist. They got away with this for two years, then finally four of the girls they had raped came forward and told the police. It turns out there were several other girls involved, but they were too afraid to come forward. There was a really ugly trial that split the town. I was shocked at some of the letters I read in the paper; people — mostly parents of other football players — blaming the girls, saying they had to take responsibility, too, for getting drunk; claiming the two football players were being railroaded. I was horrified at some of these letters. I couldn’t believe in this day and age people still had the mentality of blaming the victims. We were friends with the aunt of one of the victims. The girls took all kinds of shite at school, they even took shite from some parents, they got called sluts and worse. The two football players were convicted and got a couple of years in adult prison (they were convicted as juveniles, but they were over 18 by the time they held the trial). But, the girls all had to leave town. The whole episode was just sickening. I really lost respect for some people I knew. Now, after I posted this story, someone actually responded that the girls put themselves in that situation … i.e, subtly suggesting it was their fault. This was obviously someone who doesn’t “get it,” nor is capable of “getting it.” His comments were identical to the ones I saw in the town blaming the girls … “well, what were they doing getting drunk in the first place…?” etc., etc. I continue to be horrified by our society’s initial reaction of looking for ways to blame the victim. » Posted By Haruko Haruhara On August 26, 2011 @ 12:07 pm What I remember most from my last night on Earth Pepe refused to use the cable. He said that’s “cheating.” 👿 We have been busy. He has been thinking of writing a piece about a guy he knew on HP who died a while ago. » Posted By Haruko Haruhara On August 16, 2011 @ 12:53 pm I mostly remember just being happy to see my da. The rest of it was weird, vague dreams. I can’t remember much of that. Hi, Kesmarn!

It hasn’t stopped raining for days
My world is a flood
Slowly I become one with the mud
and my mind is crushed by the thrashing waves
Lift me up so high that I cannot fall
Lift me up
all the boards did shrink
Water, water everywhere nor any drop to drink.”
