Quote of the Day

"To each according to his needs, from each according to his possibilities...Just a minute, comrade. There is a smell of book-keeping here. We are talking of consumption and production. Everything is still in the dimension of productivity...What madness the love of work is! With great scenic skill, capital has succeeded in making the exploited love exploitation, hanged men the rope and slaves their chains. This idealization of work has been the death of revolution until now... It is time to oppose the work ethic with the non-work aesthetic." -Alfredo M. Bonanno, Armed Joy

Well! Right on, my brother!
I have to get my hands on that book! As it is, I gleaned the quote from Green Anarchy magazine, summer 2004 issue, a periodical which mysteriously began appearing in my mail (always discreetly turned face-down by my mail-carrier on our bottom step!) after I wrote a letter to a hapless young man who is in jail for trying to save the world by torching some SUVs. It was a little spooky and so now I always think GA is actually written and distributed by the police and any minute now I am expecting a knock on my door for having posted this on the Knit-A-Log! Hello FBI!? I knit stuffed elephants! You're barking up the wrong tree!!
Anyway! That's my paranoid rant for the day.
Did anyone out there see Farenheit 911? Yesterday I saw it, here is my review~
The Peace Fresno meeting! When they are passing around the cookies and Michael Moore is narrating and he says "They eat cookies. Some people even eat two." It is worth the price of admission! Go now!
In general, I left the theater with that kind of lighthearted, jovial disgust that Michael Moore's work tends to inspire, both at the state of the world as well as the tabloid style manipulation that Moore employs.. its fun though!
No knitting news to report right now.
