"In a democracy mass public demonstrations are essential and among the most important devices of public protest and widespread citizen involvement in political decisions. Not only do demonstrations provide the opportunity for citizens publicly to express their opinions, but they also provide an opportunity likely to be particularly appealing to those citizens who for reasons of lack of wealth or social power feel excluded as a practical matter from the facilities of the mass media."

NOTICE OF REVOCATION OF INDEPENDENCE

To the citizens of the United States of America,

In the light of your failure to elect a President of the USA and
thus to govern yourselves, we hereby give notice of the revocation of your
independence, effective today.

Her Sovereign Majesty Queen Elizabeth II will resume monarchical
duties over all states, commonwealths and other territories. Except Utah,
which she does not fancy. Your new prime minister (The rt. hon. Tony
Blair, MP for the 97.85% of you who have until now been unaware that there is a world outside your borders) will appoint a minister for America
without the need for further elections. Congress and the Senate will be
disbanded. A questionnaire will be circulated next year to
determine whether any of you noticed.

To aid in the transition to a British Crown Dependency, the
following rules are introduced with immediate effect:

1. You should look up "revocation" in the Oxford English Dictionary.
Then look up "aluminium". Check the pronunciation guide. You will be
amazed at just how wrongly you have been pronouncing it. Generally, you
should raise your vocabulary to acceptable levels. Look up "vocabulary".
Using the same twenty seven words interspersed with filler noises such as
"like" and "you know" is an unacceptable and inefficient form of
communication. Look up "interspersed".

2. There is no such thing as "US English". We will let Microsoft
know on your behalf.

3. You should learn to distinguish the English and Australian
accents. It really isn't that hard.

4. Hollywood will be required occasionally to cast English actors as
the good guys.

5. You should relearn your original national anthem, "God Save The
Queen", but only after fully carrying out task 1. We would not want you to
get confused and give up half way through.

6. You should stop playing American "football". There is only one
kind of football. What you refer to as American "football" is not a very
good game.

The 2.15% of you who are aware that there is a world outside your
borders may have noticed that no one else plays "American" football. You
will no longer be allowed to play it, and should instead play proper
football.

Initially, it would be best if you played with the girls. It is a
difficult game. Those of you brave enough will, in time, be allowed
to play rugby (which is similar to American "football", but does not
involve stopping for a rest every twenty seconds or wearing full kevlar body
armour like nancies). We are hoping to get together at least a US
rugby sevens side by 2005.

7. You should declare war on Quebec and France, using nuclear
weapons if they give you any merde. The 98.85% of you who were not aware that there is a world outside your borders should count yourselves lucky. The Russians have never been the bad guys. "Merde" is French for "sh*t".

8. July 4th is no longer a public holiday. November 8th will be a
new national holiday, but only in England. It will be called
"Indecisive Day".

9. All American cars are hereby banned. They are crap and it is for
your own good. When we show you German cars, you will understand what we mean.

10. Please tell us who killed JFK. It's been driving us crazy.

Thank you for your cooperation.

According to Anti-Personal Home Page FAQ:
from [/usr/bin/girl : ( just a digital girl ) ]

"There are already too many personal home pages cluttering up the Internet with information about people we know and care nothing about. Although our friends and family may get a big kick out of them, they are nonetheless filling up cyberspace with an inordinate amount of irrelevant information. In lieu of a home page of my own, I've posted this FAQ in hopes of dissuading people from uploading yet another "vanity" page to their Internet Service Provider."

Personally, I think everyone should have one of these vanity home pages. I think people need to celebrate the mundane, the personal and the specific. We spend a huge amount of our lives following what "important people" do and what "important people" think. Let us face it, most of them are really not important at all.

If George W. wins the election, will the world come to an end? I think it will hurt the country, but the newspaper will still be delivered and my gas stove will still work, and the garbage will still be collected. If George W. or Al Gore vanished tommorow, I think I could still live a happy and fulfilling life. If there was no Leo DiCaprio, I think the world would continue. And yet, some people feel that sharing ourselves on a personal level with the world is a bad thing. We should be paying more attention to scientists and politicians and investment bankers, they say, but if someone writes a touching personal essay about how sad they were when their dog died, or how happy they were when they found a rare baseball card sold cheap, that can, to my mind, be even more important than anything Stephen Hawking has to say about the first four minutes of the universe.

Oh, well, just had to get that off of my chest.

From the Official Gore-Lieberman campaign web site! William Daley writes, "today the appropriate Florida democratic officials will be requesting a hand count of the ballots, in palm beach county as well as three other counties - Vollusia, Dade, and Broward - where we have spotted oddities in the vote. Let's make sure that voters, not machines pick our President."

I'm thinking that maybe a machines might be more accurate. Maybe that's just me.

Do you think Evite sent an Evite invitation out to all the employees it was about to can? Something like, "You are invited to a mandatory meeting at 4:00. Oh, and pack up your shit." So you'd think that Mambo would be psyched that Evite is fucked -- less competition, right? Wrong! Well sort of. I mean, like, when your service is free and generates no revenue, the last thing you want are more users... right?

What's he complaining about? That's 3 minutes more that the standard 2 minute warning.
