"you're vegetarians, no one cares what you think!"

I do not read many teen diaries on diary land. I think there are two on my buddy-list and if there are more, I will be honest about only reading two of them religiously. One such diary of stand out quality is Rachel�s, over at ghostiness. Today I read her, as I always do when her name turns red, and it was about her day at school.

She recounts, in detail, how stupid and cruel humans are to each other. She also displayed her class and maturity. I will be honest, I would not have done what she did and if I had it would have been with language that would have gotten me put over Suburban Island�s knee. Go read her entry. What the world needs now is more kids like Rachel, who provide not tolerance but acceptance. Which, I write about here.

I hope my offspring and my students turn out as well as Rachel has. Smart and compassionate. She is the coolest person, after Kipp who hits (hard).

Apparently, in the Netherlands, it is illegal to lick someone�s toes but child pornography is legal. Those two things do not make any sense to me and that they happen in the same country is astounding. The Netherlands is what we called a �logical extreme� in Debate World. Basically, they are at the end of the slippery slope of scores of bad ideas.

I heard on the news that people are protesting their inability to protest at the major party conventions this year. I understand this for security concerns. People want to cause problems and disrupt our democracy so it makes it cumbersome to allow our citizens the right to assemble and protest. I know the Democrats have had their convention but the discussion is still valid.

I like the assumption that the right to assemble also means, �where ever we feel like it.� Better not be in my back yard, dirty hippies.

I also like the idea that people at the Democratic and Republican conventions are going to notice the protesters and care what the protesters have to say. George W. Bush seems pretty set in his way of thinking and John Kerry does not seem to be set on anything, except changing his mind and making himself harder to understand than Mr. Bush. How he did that is a feat of genius if you ask me, and you did not.

For valid security reasons you cannot even get near either of those too men if you are an unhappy person. You know that George W. Bush does not care what you think and John Kerry�s Senate record says the same thing.

Protesting does draw attention to an important issue: you are a dirty, unemployed hippie. I have protested things in marches. Every time I was dirty and not employed. My favorite protestors are the people who protest globalization. Without the benefits of globalization, they would be unable to protest it.

Kipp and I have a special message for protesters at both conventions:

Speaking of globalization I am drinking a Coke from Mc Donald�s and I am displeased that I have to see Tim Duncan�s arm pit hair (he is an Olympic Athlete), they could show he doing some other basketball thing, like dribbling.

Really, I just wanted to pimp Rachel out. She�s so cool.
