spending excessive amounts of time watching CNN in marriotts around the country will fuck you up, man. i keep thinking how we'll look back 50 years from now and see iraq and the bush administration as the blunder that it truly is. i just hope that my kids won't have to flee to Saskatchewan to avoid the terror mongering instigated by dubya and his cronies. so, pontificating while in that general vein of bad news hovering over my head like a swarm of mosquitoes in the Louisiana bayou, i transcribed this ani-outtake from a live cd of hers:
"i've begun to think of peace as just a product of balance. you know, it's natures, it's written all over the world. the real one...that takes over when that high pitched tv tone goes away. i had the incredible fortune to go to hiroshima, japan recently and went to the museum there and just cried and cried and cried... the mayor of hiroshima sends a letter every time there's a nuclear test and some weapon is blasted off somewhere...he sends a letter going, 'you know, take it from me...' but all the way through the museum there was just one thing i saw missing in all the governments that make war: fundamentally out of balance. men, while being quite cunning and real good at making a lot of really cool shit, just can't do it on their own. it's not natural."
