Strange Dreams of Fnords.

I just woke up from a rather disturbing and perplexing dream. If you were to discover that there was a world-wide conspiracy of illuminati proportions, complete with men-in-black, mind control techniques and secret technology and that it was exploiting and suppressing folks without them even knowing, who would you tell? Would your friends thank you from been woken up from a life of ignorance in which they were unknowing victims, unlikely to be too affected by what was REALLY going on, or would they embrace the freedom that came from knowing that their bouts of depression were being caused as a side-effect of mind-control devices? What if telling someone how to see the 'fnords' could bring them to the attention of ruthless factions vying for power and put their lives in danger? What if that also gave them access to suppressed technology that could enhance their minds, reverse aging and cure all illness?

So, fess up folks, who on my friends list would rather know the truth, whatever the cost, and who would rather be happily ignorant? I would far rather not have to make THAT particular decision for you again without more information on your preferences...

Iraq and m_cat.

I was idly flipping tv channels last night when I heard an announcer say the name m_cat. I quickly flipped back to that channel, and they were showing stock footage of the war in Iraq. This has me very worried. I tried to use google news but it told me "No pages were found containing 'm_cat'". I had been hoping that what I had missed was just a blurb about "among the many dignitaries decrying the war in Iraq are .... and m_cat", but now it looks far more sinister. Why have all news references to m_cat been removed? What have I missed?

In other news, Slashdot has just posted this article in which a University is being sued for having granted a degree to a cat. Why is this happening? Will the bigotry and hatred never stop?

I is okay.

I got a few emails today asking if I was okay, since I hadn't posted much the last few days. Everything is going okay right now. I just didn't feel like I had much to say.

Posting 'I'm awake now' followed by 'I'm going to bed' gets old kinda fast. But I am sorry if I worried anyone. Some part of me thinks that no one would notice if I just stopped posting here. I'm glad that part of me is wrong.
