Shorty calling people against gambling ads "anti gambling zealots" I guess me, a homebrew is also an "anti drinking zealot" since I don't want that advertised. I also love acid and don't want that advertised so I guess I'm an anti LSD zealot too.

I HATE our lords and masters so much. Their spineless doublespeak, their beady-eyed bean counting. It's so incredibly civilised to measure out acceptable allotments of misery.

What's it again, No Gods, No Masters ? Best thing I've heard for a while, pass it on...

We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. - Ursula K Le Guin
