It should be noted that mastery of the "Just Cold" mentality enables a person the ability to distinguish, within others, the subcategory of "Just Cold" commonly referred to as "Pussy". That is, when you encounter someone who prematurely declares: "Man. It is really fucking cold out!" ...you're able to take a long drag on your cigarette, ashing far enough away from yourself so as not to let the smoldering embers singe the skin left exposed by your shorts and flip-flops, and calmly respond: "Pussy." Excellent.

]]> Comment on Holy Poverty by Thailer http://freight.wordpress.com/2006/07/25/holy-poverty/#comment-1940 Thailer Sun, 05 Jul 2009 20:31:03 +0000 http://freight.wordpress.com/2006/07/25/holy-poverty/#comment-1940 Great post, Thank for sharing the radicalism that can be found in Christ teachings well we take what he said serious. I'm sure you've come across this definition of Christian anarchism before I really like it though "Christian anarchism is based upon the answer of Jesus to the Pharisees, when He said that he without sin should be the first to cast the stone, and upon the Sermon on the Mount, which advises the return of good for evil and the turning of the other cheek. Therefore, when we take any part in government by voting for legislative, judicial, and executive officials, we make these men our arm by which we cast a stone and deny the Sermon on the Mount. The dictionary definition of a Christian is one who follows Christ; kind, kindly, Christ-like. Anarchism is voluntary cooperation for good, with the right of secession. A Christian anarchist is therefore one who turns the other cheek, overturns the tables of the moneychangers, and does not need a cop to tell him how to behave. A Christian anarchist does not depend upon bullets or ballots to achieve his ideal; he achieves that ideal daily by the One-Man Revolution with which he faces a decadent, confused, and dying world."

It's worth noting that I stayed in Elizabeth, NJ. The town area around SOPAC (which I can only assume is South Orange) was great. The demands of the bus schedule kept me out of it. I recommend Bunny's. Awww….
