Funny story...

apparently some stores are beginning to accept foreign currency, especially in big cities. How fucked is our economy? I can't believe that people did not believe the foreshadowing six years ago when things started to get tossed into the shitter. This is just proof that the ideology that if you give breaks to the rich, they will benefit the poor is a joke.

In the wake of this, I do not understand how anyone could look at any member in the Republican or Democratic party, and think things are going to be different when we have a new president. They will get better for a few years, and then right back down. Everything going on right now should be the final few nails in the coffin of amerikkkan demockracy. The more time goes by here, the more I want to stay and make it better... but right now jumping ship seems logical.

Erik asked me a question the other day, and it was something along the lines of, "If a revolutionary underground made its way through Omaha, would I leave and join it?" I thought a lot about it, and hell yes I would. Even if I were just some random street fighter, I would pick up and be out in a heartbeat. This is why I find myself wanting to organize students around me, and once the weather permits I am going to begin leafleting around campus, and anyone who would be willing to help me, please do. The movement would be for anyone tired of the status quo and anyone that knows there is something better out there for us all, as I said before... we need to seize our lives.

On another note, I have noticed a lot of the 'left' wing kids, mostly student Democrats here at UNO regularly indulge in Starbucks. Funny thing is that there is an MJ Java on campus, a local coffee company. I guess conglomerates that piss all over mom and pop business are attractive to the apathetic left today. Not to mention that whole anti-farm union thing.
