While I am tempted to issue some pronouncement on the validity or lack thereof regarding recent declarations of Lakotah sovereignty and secession, in all reality I must admit that there may be more rational and/or reasonable responses to the facts as we know them. Take, for example, the relative lack of any serious indigenous challenge to the Lakota Freedom Delegation; this could mean many things.

This is the first in what I hope will become a long series of rants published by yours truly at Memes.org. For lack of what might be called any clear sense of where all this is going, I have decided to cover the issue/topic of the internet itself, along with some of the big brotherisms that go along with it.

Aldous Huxley, 1959: "And it seems to me perfectly in the cards that there will be within the next generation or so a pharmacological method of making people love their servitude, and producing … a kind of painless concentration camp for entire societies, so that people will in fact have their liberties taken away from them but will rather enjoy it..."

Those headaches you've been having aren't symptoms of fatigue, they're labor pains. Your dreams and ideas have been boiling for years, just below the surface, and now your mind is ready to give birth. But they are watching. They know how your brain cells are blossoming towards transformation. And they're scared. Eyes follow you from dark corners, hidden cameras track your movements. And what about that old man peering at you from behind his paper...?
