Doubtless the content will remain broadly the same, but with a shiny new look; very much like capitalism's incessant "innovations" in that respect. As I say, huh.34sp.com will ... http://wrong.voyou.org/wrong/2006/09/04/boum-lastre-du-jour-fait-boum/ Your theories are not, in fact, so shocking that our squaresville minds can't handle them. Indeed, precisely the opposite is the case. The problem with your theories is that they are far too banal. Oooh, the US government killed civilians for political purposes; how unexpected. Why go to all the ... http://wrong.voyou.org/wrong/2006/08/24/dear-911-truth-movement/ Exciting new blogs: Rachel (of this parish) has been bullied by goths into setting up a livejournal (of course goths). Ignorant Schoolmaster at Look For Me in the Whirlwind is teaching English and learning Bolivarianism in Caracas. Last and certainly least, I've set up a blog for my academic persona, predominantly to dislodge ... http://wrong.voyou.org/wrong/2006/08/24/in-his-homeboys-whips-like-he-got-mad-cars/ It's easy to forget how great the Soviet Union was: A Negro, in the opinion of Herbert Spencer, an English philosopher and sociologist of the 19th century, is by his nature incapable of abstract thinking.

You don't think this is some kind of subtle viral marketing campaign from Burning Man, do you?  "If you have never been to Burningman, this year is the year to attend. Seriously consider spending some time with true potential," which was in the ... http://wrong.voyou.org/wrong/2006/08/19/noam-chomsky-hates-the-working-class/ There's been a certain amount of amusement in liberal circles about the eagerness with which the Christian right have greeted the war in Lebanon as a sign of the apocaplypse. And fair enough, it is pretty funny. But just laughing, I think, misses the mark somewhat. Think about it: not ... http://wrong.voyou.org/wrong/2006/08/14/end-times/ I guess you know you're in Berkeley when even the police are hippies (and you know the revolutionary potential of hippiedom is truly exhausted when it's possible for the police to be hippies).

I'd seen a few of Frank Gehry's buildings in the form of pictures or models, and perhaps in the flesh from a distance, and, while they're undeniably attractive, they also seemed perhaps a little pointless. With the technological ability to produce buildings where the external form ... http://wrong.voyou.org/wrong/2006/07/20/if-youve-seen-one-melting-skyskraper-youve-seen-them-all/ Hello, I, er, haven’t posted here for ages. I post so rarely now, that I feel I ought to re-introduce myself every time I do. Anyway, I’m still at Sussex , but I’m back in Cambridge at the moment, working.
