Most of the email I receive
looks like this crap--
desperate bids for instant wealth by gullible souls
who've attached themselves like suckerfish to the
underbelly of the information superorganism.
And then there's stuff like the photo at right,
taken at SuperSnail's
Burning Man studio, 2002.
And the occasional bit of useful information such
as this list of George W. Bush's accomplishments.
Read it and weep. Or, better yet, in the words
of labor martyr
Joe
Hill: "Don't mourn--organize."

during my 2000 election decision.
I have spent more money on polls and focus groups than any president in U.S.
