Pay the Price

It seems we continue to pay the price for the great July swells - I just want to know how much. I've tried to surf a few times, but it's been pitiful. Today I thought I could get some insiders between First and Second Peak. Took off on a couple that tabled out and got one that offered a few turns. At that point the LB crew started to take their unfair share, so I paddled down to the Steps. It was even worse - kelpy, no shape, and just plain frustrating. Is it time for a sacrifice to the gods? Well - it's clear - not much to report about in terms of surf. I saw a first run of the "Last Board" movie-short and it was pretty good. Qtip did a great job of putting together 4 hours of film into 20 minutes of board building that does not put you to sleep. Still unfinished, but coming along well. The lather spewing from the beltway boyz is putrid these days - a run up to 9/11 and the elections. It seems hopeless. I am ashamed of our country's leadership. Secret prisons off shore. Legal? Where? Safe Torture? Does that sound right? Won't give the bad boyz any motivation to get secret themselves. It's like what happened to Chuck in the "Missing in Action" series. He's in secret prisons in Nam. Gets out, goes back and gets his buddies out of the secret prisons; the suits and ties forget about him. Expendable. GDUB saw it and liked it. Tuff guys. Electro-shock. Hey VEEP, that's what we should do. Just like those crazy Viet Cong in the movie. So - Boycott 9/11 - no media hype - surf, hike, work, play music, sex, read something unreal, just don't allow yourself to be basted by the FEDCorp. See no evil, Hear no evil, Speak no evil.

Whenever morality is based on theology, whenever right is made dependent on divine authority, the most immoral, unjust, infamous things can be justified and established. -Ludwig Feuerbach, philosopher (1804-1872)  ¶ 10:51 PM
