$158.08. One hundred fifty eight fucking dollars and eight cents. This would be the price tag for a pair of emergency birth control pills, combined with the emergency room visit. A hundred and fifty bucks to get a fucking pill so that ideally I won't have to get a fucking abortion. Funny how something like a broken condom can be so fucking expensive.

I'm sick and tired of America and our shitty notions of "free enterprise." Free enterprise is all well and good to a point, but whatever happened to an American's right to "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness"? Part of that is having access to reasonably priced health care. And a hundred and fifty bucks is not reasonable for a 15 minute talk to a doctor and two pills. I'm sorry. If I'd known how much it would cost I might well have just taken my chances.

Why can't Bush get his head out of his ass and quit spending so much on the military? Canada's got jack shit for military and fucking good health care - I knew someone who got laser eye surgery for something like $400 up there. There are clinics around here that give discounts if you're a student or some such, but (of course) they're all closed on Sunday. And (of course) this had to happen Saturday night...

I think I'm just sick of the human race in general, and America in particular. Does anyone know of any abandoned cabins out in the wilderness anywhere that I could live in?

I had access to one four years ago, but the minor details that its on the edge of a village, was apparently torn down recently, and has a massive "Freeze your balls off" quotient if you dont pay for heating oil are sorta problems. Not that you have balls to worry about, but still...

On another upnote, a well kept abandoned cabin is probably decently stocked with live mice. Dinner in house. :)

Fissionable Material

[tempest-x.livejournal.com]

Lately I've wandered around in a sort of generalized hate/anger/rage mood. I know where it came from, and I can even issolate the causality behind a series of things leading to the feelings.

What does this mean for the general populace?

I've said this repeated: You all are so very lucky I can't get my hands on sufficient quantities of fissionable material...

(the moral of the story: I can relate to hating mankind)

Annoyance, that...

For Juneau, specifically... you'd need at least one on either end to do it right and quick, and probably another in the Lemon Creek area. There are better ways to take out your annoyance than through fissionable material, especially ones that dont involve that much effort and running around. Figuring out how to install a working "smite" button on my keyboard is one of the ones im after.

Actually I've been playing with the idea of a bio-toxin in the water supply, but that requires a lot more effort, mostly in that since a lot of folks have wells, you'd actually have to get it into the water table.

Anyone know of a good genetically engineered virus with a month long gestational period? I think that would do it...

You know... I have issues with bioweapons. The whole "indiscriminant death" thing. No fireworks, no final moment of chaos before the world goes to hell... just slow miserable deaths for anyone unlucky enough to come in contact. Most of America is dying a slow miserable death from varying sources anyway, all of us are if you call life a disease, but forcing thirty thousand people into your choice of when and where to die slowly isnt exactly my cup of tea.

What atomic weapons have going for them (about all that they have going for them, IMO) is that they are rather total when used properly. Put one in the right spot above a closed city like downtown Juneau and you achieve whatever military goals you might have by destroying a low-function capitol, and the majority of the people will die immediately because the target area is so small in relation to the power of the blast. Yes, some people might liken that to using dynamite to get rid of an anthill but I think that it is no more merciful than deserved, assuming you have a reason that justifies killing fifteen thousand people in one stroke (good luck convincing me there).

I dont see what satisfaction you get from killing an entire city. There's no personal element, no chance to look the people that wronged you so badly and let them know that in your mind you have won... and no chance afterwards to enjoy whatever gratification you might get, because you as well are dead.

You know, I like Italians. They have class. Good food, good wine, and especially good vengance. Vaporization may be instantaneous, but a kneecap is for life.

It's exactly because of the indescriminate nature of the human condition that I could happily exterminate a whole city. Don't get me wrong, I'm not talking about running from it, I'll be here as well. I'd happily see my spark extinguished to be able to call down the rapture. If I could I would...

As it is, this is the same reason I don't own firearms, or anything else that could be used in this manner. I recognize the violent nature inherent to my personailty, and as such I do everything in my power to keep the ability to do such things as far from me as possible. These are my opinions, as such I state them, and you can agree or not as you see fit.

Oh, and please don't think I'm actually planning any of this, this is just how I feel at the moment, tomorrow I might be in a better mood...

Re: Annoyance, that...

No worries... this sounded like a "I wish" instead of an "Im planning". Someone who is both planning something like that and intelligent enough to actually do it probably wouldnt be posting about it. :)

You should try recreational shooting. Its rather relaxing, in my opinion - although removing firearms from easy personal access is likely a wise decision.

I used to fight a lot in the SCA for stress relief, but unfortunately my stress levels have increased to the point where I have uncontrolled rage responses, and I'm now unsafe to fight with.

I know, I must be painting myself as a complete psychotic, I truly don't mean to, I just have some issues I need to work through in life.

If I sound homicidal, just ignore it, it'll pass...

Um... it's a wee late now, but the nurse on campus hands them out, if you ask for them... in fact, she gives you extra packs "just in case"... and it's free... It's not a bad thing to get, even when the situation has not yet confronted you, becasue it can always confornt you on a weekend, when the nurse isn't around.

eep...

You know, Im almost glad I wont be seeing Rose today. Catching the backlash off of her reading that might become painful.

Lesson to all straight males, bisexuals, or lesbians out there: If your woman is on the Pill and goes off for a month, be aware that the PMS is *not* going to be the nice, light, relatively happy thing youve gotten used to. In fact, expect to get slapped hard several times as you do things that would otherwise not piss her off. Yes, the standard period is back, folks! - and its brought friends because she *will* be jonesing for those hormones that she hasnt been getting. Armor is recommended.

Note to self: find jockstrap when you get home.
