News Update, as I�m feeling a bit better after a long, whining morning. Once everyone knew that yes, I am not feeling well... well, I was done with being ill. I spread the word, and almost as a result, my head cleared up. Crazy, man. The �word� meaning the knowledge of my suffering. See, I�m a lot like Jesus, if you don�t count the breasts and that whole �affair with the Devil� thing people talk about (nothing�s been proven).

Anyway, in the NEWS:

WHAT??? Are you FUCKING KIDDING ME? �Suit Seeks Billions in Slave Reparations� was the headline. What�s the statute of limitations on slavery? I�m sure it doesn�t go past 50 years, let alone one hundred. So let me get this straight: you�re going to punish corporations in New York, present day, corporations that manage and pay employees who cover the spectrum of color, every race, every culture, for the wrongs committed in another cultural era? By people who are DEAD? Are you fucking kidding me? Has the whole goddamned country gone litigiously insane??!?

Prove that you�re the descendent of a slave who labored for a company a hundred years ago and you�re entitled to a slice of billions of dollars. At what expense, people? Where do you think that money is going to come from? Aren�t there enough lay-offs, closed doors, hurting people? I just think the whole idea of suing people today for things done several generations ago is ludicrous. Now, back to work...
