I just got off the phone with [livejournal.com profile] hagar_972, the snafu situation I talked about in my previous post is in the OK.

Happiness.
Relief.

It's better.

I am glad to hear things are better. Things could be worse you could have George W. Bush as your PM and you would be also fighting Syria, Iraq, and who knows where else.

Hi I'd like to friend you, if you don't mind. Your journal's interesting and it's always good to see more people interested in gender theory and feminism. I wonder if you've read Carol J. Adams' The Sexual Politics of Meat and bell hooks' Feminist Theory: From Margin to Center. Good reads.

I havne't read those particular books, but I'm always gobblingup information.

I'll friend you back, since I've rifled through your journal as well, you're a very good writer.
The only thing that worries me is that you seem to be quite anti-Israel with quite a bit of vitriol.
Other than that side of you politics your journal is also very interesting.
In any event, I look froward to getting to know you :)

Thanks! And I have to admit my tone in certain posts doesn't hide my anger and frustration over the conflict and the Canadian media reporting of it. I should clarify that although I am against Israeli Zionist policies and aggression, I hold no hatred towards Israel itself and its existence, Israelis or Jews, as ultimately I would like to see a two state solution to the Palestine issue. While I sympathise with Israel's need for security for its civilians, I don't agree with their methods. Israel, the USA, even my own country of origin, India, don't realize that most of their security problems are very much the result of their own (terrorizing, dividing, us vs. them mentality) policies.

However, I would like you to know that I'm looking forward to reading about your views with an open mind since you're much closer to these issues than I am, so hopefully I'll gain better insight of this issue. I enjoy talking to people who have different views than myself (though I don't think we're that different!) because those discussions usually lead to a deeper understanding of very complex issues such as this.

This a link to all the posts I've made about the Israeli-Hezbollah conflict, I've been serving in the reserve, so I've been steeped in it quite deep. I hope this gives you a better understanding of the issues. Yes, Israel's methods are far from stellar, but really... if there was another way, we would have used it and I speak as someone who felt what we were doing was inhumane.

In any event, I'll be glad to get to know you and your own views :)

V and Justice

V: Ah, I was forgetting that we are not properly introduced. I do not have a name. You can call me V. Madam Justice...this is V. V... this is Madam Justice. hello, Madam Justice.

Justice: Good evening, V.

V: There. Now we know each other. Actually, I've been a fan of yours for quite some time. Oh, I know what you're thinking...

Justice: The poor boy has a crush on me...an adolescent fatuation.

V: I beg your pardon, Madam. It isn't like that at all. I've long admired you...albeit only from a distance. I used to stare at you from the streets below when I was a child. I'd say to my father, "Who is that lady?" And he'd say "That's Madam Justice." And I'd say "Isn't she pretty."

V: Please don't think it was merely physical. I know you're not that sort of girl. No, I loved you as a person. As an ideal.

Justice: What? V! For shame! You have betrayed me for some harlot, some vain and pouting hussy with painted lips and a knowing smile!

V: I, Madam? I beg to differ! It was your infidelity that drove me to her arms!

V: Ah-ha! That surprised you, didn't it? You thought I didn't know about your little fling. But I do. I know everything! Frankly, I wasn't surprised when I found out. You always did have an eye for a man in uniform.

Justice: Uniform? Why I'm sure I don't know what you're talking about. It was always you, V. You were the only one...

V: Liar! Slut! Whore! Deny that you let him have his way with you, him with his armbands and jackboots!

V: Well? Cat got your tongue? I though as much.

V: Very well. So you stand revealed at last. you are no longer my justice. You are his justice now. You have bedded another.

Justice: Sob! Choke! Wh-who is she, V? What is her name?

V: Her name is Anarchy. And she has taught me more as a mistress than you ever did! She has taught me that justice is meaningless without freedom. She is honest. She makes no promises and breaks none. Unlike you, Jezebel. I used to wonder why you could never look me in the eye. Now I know. So good bye, dear lady. I would be saddened by our parting even now, save that you are no longer the woman I once loved.

*KABOOM!*
