End Inheritence NOW!
End clothing NOW!
Co-Workers tell each other how much you make (and stick it to The Man) NOW!
Lenny Kravitz: Worse than Hitler? Yes, much worse than Hitler.
Those new quarters are too big for laundry machines, and I'm NOT GOING TO TAKE IT ANY MORE!
Bring back Greek and Latin in our Grammar Schools!
Bring back Grammar Schools!
School Uniforms? No, just NO WORDS or SYMBOLS at all! That'll learn 'em.

Also, I think a series paying tribute to all members of Sleater-Kinney individually, Corin, Janet and Carrie, and as a, group is in order. Something dignified, but still cravenly worshipful at the same time.

One of the things I really needed to do today was name three of the other members of Bottom's acting troupe, and I could only come up with Snug and Quince. But my three-page summary of the high plot of 1 Henry IV hit everything, I think, including why the king wanted a crusade and why Hotspur couldn't be told about the amnesty offer before the battle of Shrewsbury (or Southampton, or wherever in England they fought it).

And I got to work in little gems like Puck's nickname Robin Goodfellow is also a name for the devil, and my offbeat aesthetic judgement that Pryamus and Thisbe is perversely appropriate for a festive triple wedding, because the inseparabilitiy of love, marriage, death and tragedy, especiall for Shakespeare.

	You know, the Sleater-Kinney story idea would be perfect. Hell, if I wasn't so swamped, I'd do it right now... -- In the dark times, will there still be singing? Yes, there will be singing. There will be singing about the dark times. -- Bertolt Brecht
