thank you daily tar heel

for yet again denying my writing. here is a letter to the editor that was turned down.

"I happen to believe a disproportionate amount of blame has been placed on a relatively benevolent institution in Alert Carolina.
If I go to Open Eye Café and a disgruntled Anarchist Political Science student punches me in the face while I try to purchase my latte, I am not going to be angry with my girlfriend for failing to text message me about him being there, the Karl Marx book he may be reading, the tattoos he may have below his sleeve, or the table for failing to trip him. At the end of the day, I am not going to be angry at receiving a late text message, but I will be reasonably disappointed in a troubled individual’s actions. Let’s keep this into perspective."

diss-missed as delusional

I was reading blogs like this one thinking that what some person or another said might very well be talking about me. Because I was incredibly paranoid and because my ego at that time was so big, in my mind I couldn't rule out that these blogs, wikipedia articles, songs, bodies of literature, etc were not talking about me. At the same time, I wasn't able to accept the fact that such blogs very well may not have been talking about me. I can't emphasize enough how paranoid I was about this because I had been stalked on various occaisions by various people. Based on the information relayed either directly or indirectly to me, I had no choice but to think these people putting me under a microscope were crazy themselves . Have you been subjected to a completely unnecessary and irrational amount of attention when you never asked for it? Have you ever been in no position to stop it? If you have, then you may begin to know how it feels. Also, throw in a job, business, days of lack of sleep, petty drug offenses, stress, irrational behavior on the part of my parents, irrational behavior on the part of my family members, binge drinking, a long lingering history of feeling inferior, then contemplate how was I not to go anything less than insane. If this world was the rational, then I was going on strike from it because it sure as hell made no sense to me. Ironic is the fact that ultimately my most logical behavior and words arose when I stopped taking the mind control substance of which I was prescribed. If I was to be cured of such an affliction, it wasn't because I took some drug prescribed by a shrink. It was because if I could figure out the irrational being that was myself, I happened to believe I had the ability to make some sense of this irrational world in which I live.

wait a sceond?

Is it possible that you are making a point against Israel?

Anonymous coward: "well they tell people before they are about to bomb Gazans' buildings and it's horrible. It causes fear and panic. Now the pro-Israel students at UNC truly know what it's like to be afraid like that"

Well which is better and/or induces a greater amount of fear on innocent people? Hamas indiscriminately launching random rockets into the south of Israel without any warning so that they maximize civilian casualties, or letting civilians in Gaza know that they are about to have their building bombed so that they can evacuate?

Anonymous coward: "I guess you are right, If I really truly wanted to be a good ol asshole and hurt people, I wouldn't have threatened to bomb. I would have just done it."

I really hope you aren't a good old asshole. I don't want myself, the girlfriend I love, any of my friends, or anyone for that mater to be hurt, including you. You were successful in scaring us. Congratulations. Now leave us alone and stop being a coward.

To the person who called in a threat...you suck!

In the event that you might read this whoever you are. (I really wish someone who was calling in a bomb threat didn't read my blog...or do I?)





Preface:

http://dailytarheel.com/news/university/dps_responding_to_bomb_threat-1.1439678



Multiple choice section (%100 percent of your grade)

I will def take your threat seriously.
I'm not gonna be in that building.
Still I think you are bullshitting. Why did you do it?
Is it?

A) The most effective way to get your point across about the middle east is to threaten violence at home?
B) Your girlfriend has been studying way too much and you need to get her ass out of the library?
C) You are trying to promote your new line of energy drinks which happen to be "da bomb"
D) Your idols are sociopathic killers because they are the most effective people in terms of receiving empathy
E) You need an empty place to study for anth 101, and you now have such an empty place.

Whatever it is, you can't just threaten us like this and think you are going to get away with it. If you are too cowardly to come out and show your face, you will be the least respected individual on campus. Please, i'm trying to appeal to reason here. Come foward like the man you were identified as. If you hurt anyone, they will become the martyr and you will be the true victim. Then you really won't be taken seriously.

You're going to need to stop doing this

You're going to need to stop blogging
You're just as bad as those capitalists logging
Voicing your opinion is hurting my cause
Voicing what you feel is my opinion? wait. pause.
Is that what you are doing?
You're on to something
I'll acknowledge that
I just think that I'm being misunderstood
I should speak more clearly, I know it I should.
I really don't think you hate me as much as I want
cause being hated gives me some street cred to flaunt
You hater Hate has a negative connotation
I just wish your blogs would have some annotation
To suggest what you really do think
I just don't get why on facebook you wink

The spiking in your mainline of some poetry

Do you hear any voices?
“All the time doc”
Tell me about these voices.
“Some are quiet, some are deep, some are loud, you know”
Can you give an example?
“Yours isn’t being employed correctly”


Have you ever touched anyone?
“All the time”
Who?
“Too many to mention”
What is it like when you touch someone?
“Would you really like to know?”
Yes.
“Give me your arm.”


"JUST LIKE ME"
Like I will say that like how I like speak doesn’t like affect whether I’m like articulate
Like cause like my ethereal like qualities will strike you like a particulate
Under the impression I am like that you like think I’m like wrong
I’ll prove like I’m like write, I am like rhyming I can sing you a song.
Hard to like read? Like jeez, I say curse words it fucking like makes me sound so fucking old
I’m like so fucking beautiful and and like never misunderstood, or so I’m told.
I like liked you before but like the way I like act
This law I like lay down I need like not enact.
I’m not like creative like I give credit where it is due.
So when like someone thinks of me they like think positive, phew!
Like speaking like I do isn’t like annoying like is it?
I swear like that I am like smart, like I swear I’m exquisite.
Like you perceive I’m like great at like voicing my estimation
Isn’t at all like like I’m like removed from like civilization.
Like my true nature like I like have like no like trouble to unfurl
Like I’m way more like articulate like than like a valley sorority girl!

51Ence > Social Studies

"Sometimes I get this vibe that people give off. Mention I'm poli sci and they scoff."

The major is essentially worthless. I'll get career and you will be jobless.

Science and Math is concrete. Measurable, from the wall and to the street.

Social Studies will be by definition be abstract. this ain't no hypothesis, it's fact.

From your queries, theories, and timothy learys I can deduce from this sequence and series

that where's the control with the lab you called society? What's the difference b/w this blind faith and piety?

Numbers will never be able to rile me.

"I'm very capable of doing the math, I did it, just not follow that path.

People are my thing, sure there isn't a control Why would I want to? I don't claim to extol

That I'm doing some science cause in your sense i'm not. Being guilty of misnomers you've got me, I'm caught.

Having a career would be great and I wouldn't complain. Just with this notion I nothing but disdain.

That social science dooms me to poverty. Unless of course I scratch off that lottery.

Financially poor won't be the best that's fact. But riches in my mind I never will lack"

My SLANDER against A Rag with the all-encompassing title of 'Worker's World'

I happen to find it nothing short of entertaining when someone goes on rambling about the misgivings of the "mainstream corporate media." This in most circumstances leads such an individual to toss such publications in the trash, change the channel from CNN to VH1, throw Time magazine away in favor of something like "Worker's World." You see, by sheerly dismissing these media the shrugger is only doing themselves a disservice and I will explain why.


So, for arguments' sake let’s assume the following...

A) The mainstream media is owned and operated by a select group of individuals who only promulgate opinions that would lead to their companys' or parent company's profit.

B) The people who communicate the messages you see or hear in the media are relaying a message that is only beneficial to the capitalist "system" that is in place now.

C) Everyone involved in the mainstream media is absolutely evil.


So... with these assumptions...Do these conclusions logically follow?

1) Being ignorant of what these evildoers have to say in their paradigm in their words is of value.

2) The people who are in the media are not influential and thus their 'opinions' are worthless.

3) The best alternative is to read only publications of which I agree with.


I'll let you decide for now. When I was a freshmen living with Charlie McGeehan (basically everyone at UNC knows him by name), I had a 'civil discourse' with him about questioning something that a professor said. If the event that you don't know Charlie, he is Co-president of Sprout, has been in the leadership of Campaign to End the Death Penalty, is a Senior Class Marshall, a Public Service Scholar, and from what I have heard is hoping to apply to prestigious graduate schools (though I may be wrong about this). Anyways, in this civil discourse in which he tended to draw quite near to my grill, I asked him the following...


"Charlie, would you be perfectly ok that if by the end of college everything you will have read and every professor you will have had you happened to agree with?"


How did Charlie McGeehan reply?


An emphatic "Yes."


The best, most articulate scholars of late, some of whom have had an immense amount of praise heaped upon them, would vomit at such a reply. Do you think Karl Marx did NOT read Adam Smith? Do you think Max Weber did NOT read Marx? Do you think Lincoln tried to pull his hat over his ears when Stephen Douglass was speaking?


I am given to think that these examples were not the case.


Even if Charlie is the advocate of great causes, even if he were my friend, even if he is the best leader SPROUT had ever seen, the notion that he is somehow exculpated from any valid criticism is absolutely ridiculous. I am not writing this with the intention of slandering him. Might it be possible that I like him and want him to succeed in what he is doing but just not undermine his ability to do so? Food for thought.


So I live with quite active members of student groups which could accurately be described as on the left of the political spectrum. Fine, no problem with that. The problem lies in various circumstances however. I can recall one specific occasion in which one of the roommates advocated burning (and the on a CD kind of way) Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged. As a Jewish individual(as Ayn Rand is), for whatever reason I am brought to think of Germany in the 1930s-1945 or so. I think I have a valid reason to do so.


This is what brings me to the title of this post. You see, quite often in my house there is a half-rate publication by the name of "Workers World" in my house. It can be found at this moment lying dormant on a seat approximately five feet away from me. Why do I bring this publication up? The thing is, recently I have heard one of the roomies speaking about how he likes reading it because a third of it is written by people he knows.


Let me get this straight... A magazine with the ALL ENCOMPASSING TITLE of Worker's World, a magazine which purports to be speaking on behalf of all oppressed people and workers on this entire globe of upwards of Six Billion people), is actually contributed by and likely run by this one upper-middle class college student's friends?


Wait a second...


One specific group constructing and promulgating one of many narrow philosophies under the guise of nothing short of an globally-informed opinion?


Sounds like a relatively familiar critique to me.
