I didn't go to high school. Not really. I went to $tr8 instead. I was pulled out of the middle of 10th grade and basically didn't see the light of day for about a year an' a half or so! I copped-out 4 times, including once off 'a' 1st phase on my 64th day, but they always hunted me down and brought me back.
No charges, no representation. just imprisonment and mental distress.
Never was able to be friends with my old friends again. By the time I got out of $tr8 for good they were all gone and I was way too fucked up anyway.
I remember how angry I was, about day 15 or so, as I sat on front row fully comprehending the betrayal by my parents, and my country. The rage that had no where to go. The loneliness that overwhelmed me as I began to realize that no-one was going to help me.
America, land of the law, not of the spirit.
I know what you mean. I was pulled out at 8th grade. I remember thinking on day 15, wow, I really must have an alcohol and drug problem or I would be able to go home. When I copped out, I told the cops what all Straight was doing to us and they laughed at me. When I got out, they took me straight to a psyco ward. The kids there would talk about movies they had seen or hit songs, they thought I was nutts cause I had not heard of any. I wonder to this day, why the ward didnt do something. I heard the doctor tell my parents that Straight abused me. The doctor didnt even ask me if I was abused in Straight and I never told the ward I was abused why would I? the cops didnt believe me, but the doctor knew. My parents still didnt believe abuse happened. When I got home, and went to school, all the kids from school thought I had killed myself. We had no justice. At 13 years old, I used my voice and I did what I was supose to do, nobody listened. Where was cps? Where was my rights?
Thankyou Gah, You are so sweet. America, the land of the free, home of the brave did not exist for you an' me. In that sense I aint no patriot. If America will literally, or even in spirit, sell out the rights of it's young, to rich corporate establishment types like the Semblers, who then take the profits they make raping the minds of defenseless American citizens and spread their oppression, their sickness, their oppresive disease to others, then I am against America. The fact that the federal and local governments endorsed and financially supported $tr8 Inc. is enough to reveal the true character of the government to me. They are a bunch of Fascists. And I aint no patriot. Fuck Authority!
Eudora,
We start by Decentralizing the federal government. Then we create smaller and smaller municipalities. Each independent municipality is autonomous but still economically connected to the others around it. That way the citizens of each community and sub-culture can decide the laws that they will live by. One small, autonomous municipality might want to say for example legalize marijuana for recreational and medicinal use. Another might decide they think all fossil fuels should be outlawed or whatever and only human powered vehicles are legal in their county. In other words: Way more power to the people and Fuck the Federales.
Of course the ultimate goal being the complete anihilation of representitve government, or any government at all, or at least very, very little...the less government the better, says I. And if people truly believed in freedom they would never ever hurt anyone or commit a crime or use a person as a tool, because to do so would not only hurt them spiritually, but would give a pretext to Fascists to set up a government.
$tr8 Inc is an obvious manifestation of the true values of our so-called "free", "open"and "democratic"society. Our trouble is we know it and cannot ignore it. Most everyone is asleep. Fuck Authority! I wish you peace.
