There's something really scary going on in our nation's capital right now.

Recently, the Senate passed a bill (SR 1867) that will allow average Americans to be detained indefinitely without any due process whatsoever or a trial by jury. This is all to protect us from the so-called, bullshit "war on terror." Just think, you could be at home or minding your own business when all of a sudden the cops or military kick down your door and arrest you with no warrant or rhyme or reason and take you away just because they suspect you are a terrorist and have committed no crimes. This is a direct violation of the document that was created to protect us from tyranny such as this, the U.S. Constitution. The MSM (main stream media) won't report on this because they are working for the scumbags who came up with this idea and want to keep themselves anonymous. Now Obama has reportedly said that he wants to veto this, but i don't know if that's true.

People, I'm trying to wake you up here, not trying to scare you. Ever since 9/11 the gov't has been putting more surveillance on us and taking away our freedoms little by little. If Obama signs this into law we will have martial law on our streets (a violation of the Posse Comitatus act) and all hell will have broken loose. Our once great Republic will be no more. Let me ask you: is this what you want? Do you want to be captured just because you own guns, own gold, speak out against injustice, etc., all rights granted to us by the Constitution and things that authorities would suspect as terrorist acts if taken part in? We can't allow this to happen. I called my local Congressman's office and expressed my rage over this. I suggest you do the same. On my Twitter page I posted a link to the ACLU to which you can write a letter expressing your concern about it. On a more personal note, if you think I'm crazy and want to un-friend me, if you want to have your heads in the sand and think that life's a bowl of peaches and such a thing would never happen here, then un-friend me because I don't care anymore. Cut me out of your life then if you know me personally. What I'm writing of here is the truth whether you want to believe it or not.

P.S. There is one fur in particular who I think is a good friend and who I'm very concerned about with regard to this bill. I won't mention the name, but if you think about it, you'll know who you are.

How are we living in a free country anymore when Rawesome Foods, a company in California that sells raw milk and produce without GMOs, gets raided by police and has some of its members arrested for "conspiracy" to sell raw foods to the public?

Unreal.

I had a lot of fun playing skippyfox 's game that I came up with some lyrics of my own!  Read Skippy's last post for the rules.  Screening applies.


1. Having returned into complete darkness, I get into bed.  Much time has passed, and I am content to have set foot here once again.
2. The people said to the man, "Never show up at this place.  Have no desire to gaze at your mug; it would behoove you to vamoose."
3. Cut off my respiration because I long to cease to exist.  I beg of you, supreme deity, end my slumber!
4. That which I have, it's a must you bestow it upon your female child.  You gyrate your body a bit, then you consume a bit of H2O.
5. It happens that way, and you have no affection for domestic canids.  Simply relax up to the next in the series in the course of events.

The production I'm involved with now, "The Light in the Piazza," has gotten a good review in a Philly area online magazine:

On a personal note, the show is going very well.  The cast are great, and we're getting a really good reaction from the audience every night.

(BTW, I'm Jon in case you didn't know :))

I know this is a little late, but I've decided to go to Furfright, and I was wondering if anyone had extra space in their rooms for me?  I have a fursuit as well as an air mattress, so sleeping on the floor isn't a problem.  I'll probably bring a cooler for drinks and food.  I'm a social drinker, but I don't get totally out of control with it.  I respect people's privacy and their things.  I'm looking to arrive Thursday night and leave on Monday for a total of 4 nights.  Another person means less money out of pocket you have to pay for the room!  If you can hook a bunneh up, please let me know!

If y'all want to come see me perform in my next show "The Light In The Piazza," here's the website with all the info:

It opens a week from Friday.

The one most recent that really hit me is "Humanity" by the Scorpions.

FA:U was just ok for me, but I saw something there that really irritated me.  One night I was in Skippyfox's room hanging out with a bunch of people when we noticed the Holy Bible and the Mormon bible both laying on the floor.  Someone picked them up and saw that they both had furry porn drawn on the back pages.  In the Mormon bible some of the illustrations were also drawn on. This is just plain ignorant and wrong.  Now, I'm not a religious person by any means, but I respect others beliefs whether I agree or disagree with them.  Stuff like this makes me understand why the fandom gets the bad reputation that it does and makes me wonder why I even joined it in the first place.  It's one thing to have fun and be entertained, but if this is how you're going to do it, fuck you.  Do this in your sketchbooks or don't come to the cons.

I'm going to FA:U this weekend.  Who else is going?
