Pax Bellum Occupat
Octovian eyes have surrendered
to your upsets. It is noted,
Of times which have passed without being rendered,
you have conquered us, thoroughly,
and with our lives weve paid the debts
of atrocities incurred from a matter beyond our affairs.
Set me free as soon as dawn,
let me know when it quits,
one by one, my mind has gone
to the unending warfare in which sits
the unholy, unworthy,
organic insignificance that consumes my entity.
I am warm with coats of fur,
I am a treasure unto myself
and this is all that I can know for sure,
but even in affection I am more to beware
the message:
someones there
waiting for my life, and another for my death,
and many more with apathy, an infinite community for infinite opinions.
Hail the Fatherland!
Hail my stolen heritage!
Hail the Third Rome!
Ceaser, Charlemagne, Hail the Beggining of a new end!
The vital war machine
Its eye, focused on December's sky,
don't they know he's king of our month?
Dont they know that we'll kill them?
Hail another chance at glory!
Something here from another place
something new
something I dont want
something I cant understand
Is this your race
that calls upon our holy place
in history?
One more time shall we treat
history with disregard
look who we must meet
The time is still near you say?
the time has been near for too long
lets act before time acts on our behalf.
And what we were here for
has now long left
But Glory! Shine yourself amongst this war!
this war of mind, our war is a war of the spirit!

On Network Neutrality
This is a response of mine to a statement made in my online school regarding why we should have a state regulated internet, provided by the law and under its eye and regulation.
I support Net Neutrality, which anywhere else would be sufficient to explain my stance on something like this but for our purposes I will go on:
The internet is one of the few remaining, if not the last of all strongholds, defending and regularly partaking in our freedom of speech, privacy (this is finally dying off though), right to the pursuit of both personal and collective happiness, and is, regardless, a beacon of our great acheivement as a civilization.
Why would you trust any other information before that provided on the internet? Becuase it comes from the minds of commoners? Don't books, and even to an extent television, merely come from the minds of men, who are pathetic at times, great at others, but none so much more than either of us? There is no seperation between us and them, we are equals, and they deserve no power that we could not ourselves obtain; this is the spirit of our Constitution, and although I must at times seperate myself from the letter of its law (on gun control, for example) I cannot help but adore the passionate fury of its purpose and ideology which divides me as an American from the other various peoples of this common world, focused and acute through culture, wherefrom derived my ancestors who bore my ancestors more recent, and now is this new body of laws; and it is greater a perfection than all of those which preceded it.
But the point is that, I refuse to sacrifice my nation for the sake of 'freedom from freedom;' a mirror image of the Romans, I am no slave to liberty; on the contrary I am the unending heritage of the Eternal Republic, and its mother, the Urbs Eternus; I am its everlasting defender; though you can destroy each and everyone of us, our purpose is immune to all ancient and modern tyrrany. But I am definately inclined to wonder, how can any moral person destroy our beautiful liberties and do so in the name of ther very constition intended to protect us from such an infultration?
Even to the extent of my religion, I am first an American Constitionalist, second a Central Californian Liberal, and finally a Democrat, and this is the order of my priorities, though I admit to dwell amongst neither of the three intentionally (doing so would be contrary to the beliefs perscribed by the ideologies themselves). But so as it is, a government internet goes against all three and I will fight it with whatever I may obtain, and my life which I was given, and all of the resources of my environment (for it is no more theirs than mine, and in this land, it is even moreso mine than theirs).

On percentiles
A response to a post in my schools discussion forum. He was talking about how important percents are, and generally advocating their superiority to other ratios (which I find silly), and the textbook tends to have a very similar attitude about everything, and even uses multiple fallacious platonist ideas to teach students. Again guys, practical considerations aside:
A percent is a practical form of a series of fractions, and fractions are unsolved division problems, and therefore the only pure mathematic in either is the decimal (except when the fraction includes an unknown unresolvable variable), ignoring of course any universal philosophies (in this particular case nihilism will be ignored for the sake of being able to call things 'absolute,' or 'true,' and even 'pure;' all of which obviously go against multiple logical philosophical arguments).
The excessive use of percents in our society has had its glamour due, in my opinion, to its magnificent ability to be horribly misunderstood by a variety of 'common men and the socially disadvantaged' (socially disadvantaged ' being a term very accurately explaining the only thing that even the most extreme neuroticly incurred nihilist could not resist deeming 'worthy' of venerating great amounts of resentment and annoyance) making minority figures of all statistical matters potentially appear either inaccurately large, or nonexistant, depending on intent, and making all figures above 40% seem like the absolute majority. It is just another ratio right? This itself is no big deal but I've noticed a few illogical statements by textbooks and it becomes redundant; I myself am no mathematician but I am nevertheless obliged to use the mind granted to me by God to better our mutual existence, as are all men so obliged, and it is therefore that I refuse to permit so horrible a schism between the distant truth (tuaght to select adults) and the convenient unreality (tuaght to everyone else). Needless to say this is nothing personal but is a state, even federal matter, which is far beyond the power and control of any of us, or anyone we know.

Criticism of my classmates multimedia presentation
Here is my criticism of the multimedia presentation of a classmate of mine (the presentation isnt available but it shall suffice to say, it was mediocre):
Practical considerations aside, I disagree with abusing the fallacious assumptions of others for the sake of my own personal gain (of course, the reason I shall now state is contradictory to that disagreement in principal, but I will not refuse my own humanity, whether I should or not). Now, value is a meaningless 'ideal' created by life forms to give them a false illusion of hope or purpose in a pointless existence. This applies to multimedia presentation in that if the information itself were somehow of any true value (it isnt, and true does not exist beyond our own minds) then the other media only serves to permit a fake mirage of worthiness in a series of concepts which are perhaps less worthy than they have been displayed to appear.
