Do you honestly believe that movie to be *truth*?

I am not being sarcastic, or abusive, when I say this:

If you beleive that movie is truth, you are a sad and
deluded fool. It's propaganda. It may be propaganda
you agree with, but it's still a biased viewpoint,
intended to revise history.

Try watching a few of the taped interviews with MalcolmX
...A big city library ought to be able to help you find them.
A few transcriptions of his speeches, and you'll begin to 
see more of the truth.

Not the whole truth of course, I don't think there *is*
whole truth in these matters.

I do agree that MalcolmX had positive effects on the
world, but assholes often do. Even the most evil
man I can think of, Adolph Hitler, revitalised hos country's
economy.

And no, that's not an attempt at closure, people, nor am
i comparing malcolmX to hitler.

Peeve: the word "Nazism."  I've seen it in print a thousand times but 
never heard it actually spoken, so I have a vague sense of uneasiness 
that I'm pronouncing it wrong in my mind.  Is it "NOTZI-ism" or

I had to love the way the armed forces handled the media during Desert
Storm: "Siddown, shaddup and listen!"  

I remember one reporter in particular who was at these daily briefings.
An Oriental American lady of decidedly leftist bent, she was hung up
on the oil slick created by Saddam's troops pumping crude into the 
Gulf.  The briefing would address various recent developments having
to do with *fighting the war,* which is why everyone was there to 
begin with, and she kept trying to turn the topic back the goddam oil
slick.  People were fighting and dying, and all this fuckwit cared 
about were oily birds.  She was probably from Berkeley.

This peeve is not about the film, which I havn't seen, and almost
certainly won't get around to seeing.

This peeve is not about MalcolmX the man, either, except
incidentally.

It's about the attitude that makes a hero out of an asshole, just
because the asshole undergoes a change of heart.

MalcolmX was an asshole. He was a racist, violent criminal, and
he used his influence as a 'leader' to directly and indirectly
cause death and suffering to quite a few people. The fact that he
later repented does not change this fact.

If Dahmer suddenly began preaching macrobiotics, vegetarianism,
and world peace, would we hail him as a saint? 

Probably.

I got the flu. Its that coughing thing. You know. You feel kinda
OK and think you can really do stuff because its just a runny nose
and a cough, not a fractured vertebra or fibrillations. I held it
together as long as I could. Went to a nice party at the DeYoung
Friday night and looked at art with a friend who can talk about art
in polysyllables. Despite the frequent "TOOT" of my sinuses honking
and the quest for cocktail napkins (and then trash bins), it was OK.
The next day, I did some errands and braved traffic to Sunnyvale.
Bad idea. Got to my friends' house, chucked the baby under the chin
and conked out on the sofa so badly that a 5 year old asked me if 
I had died. Sunday, I got to the hair place for a retread and
basically napped out in the chair.

This was OK, but then the Cough started. I wanted to see RickG in
concert. I also did not want to be that person in the back, "da da da
de dum " [TOOT] [TOOT] >cough< >cough<. So, bummed severely, I went
home and lit a presto log and drank sparkling cider all night. Knowing my
limits and facing a colossal headache, I stayed home monday and got a note
from the State tax people saying I did not pay taxes. Argh. I called, told
them I did indeedy file taxes. SHe then said that my husband (who?) did
not file taxes. I rolled my eyes. His taxes were fucked up with the Feds
(BY the Feds) before I met him - they lost it. I was pissed to have to 
deal with this. Then she changed her mind. Nope, he's OK. Gr. I said,
"I PAID MY DARN TAXES LADY!" No dice.

I had to drag my sick behind over to the tax people. (The ninny in the
state capital told me to go to SF (no parking), but I found the office
in Oakland (much parking)). Thank Ghu the clerk at the counter was nmot
only polite and patient, but SMART. She found the problem in 10 minutes.
They mistyped my social security number. WHy couldn't the ninny in Sacramento
search by name and not number? Sheesh.

This is not bed rest, people.

Peeve: Bad typing. The typist must have had my head flu.

!Peeve: Smart clerks who, despite being civil servants, somehow manage
to be civil. I hope they do not find out about her.

Peeve: Flu bugs.

!Peeve: two down comforters, 4 cats, bunnyhuggin' herb tea, Vivaldi
and no computer to stare at all day.

Pah.  Imagine how irritating it would be if the wedding management were to

What I can't stand is when the news flash screen comes on and stays silent

Well, it happeneed to me yesterday; I became invisible.  All I wanted to 
do was redeem the few empty cans from the back of the car, and go home. I
was elated when I discovered a clerk already at the redemption window.
Usually, you have to ring a bell and wait for someone to finish what they're
doing before you get any help.  She was finishing sorting a small box of 
cans, and I figured that she'd take care of me next.  I had lined mine up in
rows of two, to make it easier for her to count them out, and get me out of
there all that much quicker.  But instead, she picked up a huge garbage bag
full of cans which was _right_in_front_of_me_ and started sorting _them_
out.  I couldn't believe it.  I waited a few moments to make sure that she 
was serious about counting out the whole bag before she took care of my few,
and then butted in with an "Excuse me.  I'm in a bit of a hurry.  Would you
mind taking care of these first?"  I then received the eye-daggers, got my
receipt, and headed into the market to turn it into coin.  In the express
checkout line was another BDI with a full cart of groceries.  Luckily, 
another line openned up just as I approached, or I would've post-officed my
way through the store.

Bonus Peeve:  I usually buy my cans and bottles in Cow Hampshire, which 
doesn't have a redemption bill.  However, the market continues to sell cans
and bottles stamped with the "Redeem in Mass., VT, CT etc." stamp.  Go figure.
