God forbid you might actually want to do something about it
I love my internet friends. I told you all how I can't wait sometimes to get home away from the ignorant masses who chose to listen to the headlines of lies and distractions. I find myself saying to hell with them, let them stay in the darkness! Then I meet that one person during the week that gives me hope and tells me they liked what I said, and how I plainly state my case in simple matter of fact language they can relate to. They thank me for printing one of my articles or a friend's articles for them because they're not on the internet. They will also say that they don't feel so alone and that they knew there was something very wrong with what the TV news was reporting to them. So tonight as usual I sit here and dig for concise to-the-point essays with lots of information that lets people know exactly what's going on! Why? Because they want you to keep consuming, keep going to work, and not think about the real goings on in the world. That just might bring your head down and wake you up to how F^&% bad it REALLY is! God forbid you might actually want to do something about it. You all have to forgive me, I'm not in the most pleasant right frame of mind today. It was only 1 in the afternoon and a series of disturbing events have taken place, already a man behind me in the store flipped out and announced to all of us ''You're All Fucking Dead, do you hear me!'' then he backed up and yelled it again. To that I turned around and asked him just how long I had to live. He was so taken back that he had nothing to say. The storekeepers laughed and the man ran out of the store disgusted. Walking home two wiseasses old enough to know better almost hit me with their bicycles. It just so happened there was a cop around who saw the whole thing and heard them yelling obscenities at me when I told them they should let people know when they're behind them, and so it is now 2:30 PM and I am home safe in my chair I hope!
Because we respect peoples' privacy, we do not keep records of friends' and contributors' contact information. This means we can't forward private communications between readers and writers, but we always welcome dialogue for publication. When we publish incoming emails, we usually edit out the sender's last name, email address, or anything else that would tend to uniquely identify the author (if we slip up, please let us know). But if your email is unambiguously intended only to annoy, insult, or threaten us, we'll publish all the details, and leave it on-line forever. We're especially interested in hearing and considering different perspectives. All we ask is that you conduct yourself sanely and civilly. For the most productive dialogue, it helps if you'll cite a specific article or concept we've gotten wrong. You can contact Helen & Harry at <newsuneed at yahoo.com>. If that address ever fails, our back-up email address is <unknownnews at inbox.com>. But please, don't email us unless you're really and truly, honestly, actually trying to send the publishers of News a communication you're not sending to anyone or everyone else. Please don't send attachments or other cr*p we don't want. If you're trying to reach us but getting no reply, it's probably because you've sent us cr*p we don't want, so we're filtering your emails into the trash, unopened and unread. If you'd like to have your email address unblocked, simply send a sincere apology (from an un-blocked email address).
