electric relaxation

Most of you have already heard my rant about this, but I wanted to preserve it here for posterity. That people actually might believe in the validity of this enterprise fills me with seething rage.

I actually spent some time pondering why I find this crap so offensive, and I think I figured it out: it’s the belief that participation in this activity is actually a positive, objective contribution to something so nebulous and incommensurate as peace, when, in any conceivable way that such contributions could be measured, this would rank far lower than say, registering to vote, or participating in the established political process. What’s so wrong with admitting that hip-hop and yoga are just pure, base entertainment rather than agents for social change? Why do people feel so guilty about hedonism?

God I hate hippies.
