Default I'm planning a trip to the US, help pl0x.
So, I have a friend who's currently on an exchange year at UCSD and I'm planning to go and visit her in the summer. My boyfriend also has to work in Texas a lot and he said he could arrange it so we do it at the same time.

So my rough plan so far is to fly to NY then travel to Austin, Texas over a week. Then I'll be flying to SD and we're all meeting up and hiring a car. Will probably drive up to San Francisco then come back and pop down to Tijuana before finally flying back to the UK.

My dilemna is where to go while on my way from NY to Austin. I'm deffinately going to go to Washington but then after that I'm not sure. I was thinking maybe New Orleans. Does anyone know some decent places in the south between Washington and New Orleans?

Any suggestions for California would be good too.

Just take a slight detour to, say, Yellowstone. Or take the trip on a tricycle.

The south's not really my area, but it's awesome to hear you're planning a trip out. If I didn't live in Utah, I'd suggest coming to say hi. xD There's lots of grand places to go in CA though. Hard to go wrong really.

You could drive 4 hours northwest and visit Pittsburgh. It's where people say 'yinz' instead of 'you guys' and paint themselves black and gold and worship the savior known as Ben Roethlisberger.


Quite happenin'.

Florida is out of the way and apart from the beaches isn't all that interesting. Well I guess there's Disney World and other similar attractions in Orlando, but I'm not all that fond of Orlando.

moar I'll show you politics in America. Here it is, right here. "I think the puppet on the right shares my beliefs." "I think the puppet on the left is more to my liking." "Hey, wait a minute, there's one guy holding out both puppets!" "Shut up! Go back to bed, America! Your government is in control. Here's Love Connection. Watch this and get fat and stupid. By the way, keep drinking beer, you fucking morons."

All governments are liars and murderers. Go back to bed, America! Your government has figured out how it all transpired. Go back to bed, America! Your government is in control again. Here, here's American Gladiators. Watch this, shut up! Go back to bed, America! Here is American Gladiators; here is 56 channels of it! Watch these pituitary retards bang their fucking skulls together and congratulate you on living in the land of freedom! Here you go, America: You are free to do what we tell you! You are free to do what we tell you!

The Supreme Court says pornography is anything without artistic merit that causes sexual thoughts, that's their definition, essentially. No artistic merit, causes sexual thoughts. Hmm... Sounds like...every commercial on television, doesn't it? You know, when I see those two twins on that Doublemint commercial? I'm not thinking of gum. I am thinking of chewing, so maybe that's the connection they're trying to make.

I have this feeling man, 'cause you know, it's just a handful of people who run everything, you know... that's true, it's provable. It's not... I'm not a fucking conspiracy nut; it's provable. A handful, a very small elite, run and own these corporations, which include the mainstream media. I have this feeling that whoever is elected president, like Clinton was, no matter what you promise on the campaign trail – blah, blah, blah – when you win, you go into this smoke-filled room with the twelve industrialist capitalist scumfucks who got you in there. And you're in this smoky room, and this little film screen comes down, and a big guy with a cigar goes, "Roll the film." And it's a shot of the Kennedy assassination from an angle you've never seen before that looks suspiciously like it's from the grassy knoll. And then the screen goes up and the lights come up, and they go to the new president, "Any questions?" "Er, just what my agenda is." "First we bomb Baghdad." "You got it..."

I thought the whole thing was an absolute disaster and a débâcle. And if any of you had been watching public access and seen the footage which was not shown on any major news media source... of the tanks, Bradley tanks shooting fire into the compound. Which I think went against the party line story, which was that they shot tear gas in order to help the mothers and the children to get out to convince 'em. While they're destroying the compound, they're getting mom and children out, you see. The soft sell is definitely the FBI's way. And anyway, so the major news said that the Branch Davidians started the fire, if I'm not mistaken. Correct me when I go off the story here. All they did was shoot in tear gas? And yet I've seen with my own eyes, and my squeegeed third eye, footage of a Bradley tank shooting fire into the compound, which... isn't that odd that no major news source has picked up on that? You think that's newsworthy? 'Cause that basically means that the government, from the FBI, the ATF, up to Janet Reno, including Clinton, are, um... liars and murderers. Hahahahaha. And wait, there's more. I mean the implications are vast. You know, if the ATF and FBI had any honour, if there was any honour left or dignity on this planet, they would commit hara kiri, while first admitting what they've done, and they'd kill themselves. Because they are liars and murderers. "Oh, we had to bust the compound down 'cause we heard child molestation was going on." Yeah, if that's true, how come we don't see Bradley tanks knocking down Catholic churches? I'm talking if child molestation is actually your concern. "Well there was a methamphetamine lab on the..." No there wasn't.... They don't want the voice of reason spoken, folks, 'cause otherwise we'd be free. Otherwise, we wouldn't believe their fucking horseshit lies, nor the fucking propaganda machine of the mainstream media and buy their horseshit products that we don't fucking need and become a third world consumer fucking plantation, which is what we're becoming. Fuck them! They are liars and murderers. All governments are liars and murderers, and I am now Jesus, and this is MY compound.

The world is like a ride at an amusement park. It goes up and down and round and round. It has thrills and chills and it's very brightly coloured and it's very loud and it's fun, for a while. Some people have been on the ride for a long time and they begin to question, is this real, or is this just a ride? And other people have remembered, and they come back to us, they say, "hey - don't worry, don't be afraid, ever, because, this is just a ride..." And we... kill those people. Ha ha. "Shut him up. We have a lot invested in this ride. Shut him up. Look at my furrows of worry. Look at my big bank account and my family. This just has to be real." It's just a ride. But we always kill those good guys who try and tell us that, you ever notice that? And let the demons run amok. Jesus murdered; Martin Luther King mudered; Malcolm X murdered; Gandhi murdered; John Lennon murdered; Reagan... wounded. But it doesn't matter because: It's just a ride. And we can change it anytime we want. It's only a choice. No effort, no work, no job, no savings and money. A choice, right now, between fear and love. The eyes of fear want you to put bigger locks on your doors, buy guns, close yourself off. The eyes of love, instead, see all of us as one. Here's what we can do to change the world, right now, to a better ride. Take all that money that we spend on weapons and defenses each year and instead spend it feeding and clothing and educating the poor of the world, which it would many times over, not one human being excluded, and we could explore space, together, both inner and outer, forever, in peace. Thank you; you've been great.

I didn't say there's anything wrong with people from Orlando. I just don't like going there, mostly due to the insane amount of traffic. I hate visiting southeast Florida for the same reason, even though there are a lot of people I like.
