Devizes Melting Pot

“Protection. Conservation. Restriction. Deep ecology. Give me deep technology any day. They don't scare me. "I'm damned if I'll crawl, my children's children crawl on the earth in some kind a fuckin' harmony with the environment. Yeah, till the next ice age or the next asteroid impact." (Moh Kohn, The Star Fraction)/ "This is the fight between God and the Devil. If His Grace is with God, he must join me, if he is for the Devil he must fight me. There is no third way" King Gustavus Adolphus

Me

On a more personal note this year has been fairly uneventful, I passed my retakes in August and began my third and final year in September, I cannot believe I'll graduate next year, it only feels like yesterday I finished my A Levels and began my studies in Ancient History. at Swansea University.

I've made some very good friends as well, which has helped me grow as a person, becoming less shy.

My politics has also changed since I started University, I move from what you could say was a social democratic position to a more Libertarian Socialist viewpoint, from reading Ken MacLeod, who is one of my favorite authors and Kevin Carson who writes very good stuff and is a very nice guy. I even managed to 'liberate' my laptop by switching to Ubuntu, free open source software, its Mutalism in practice you could say.

My Hopes For 2007

We withdraw from Iraq, its time to go, we are not doing anything helpful being caught up in a local punch up.

That I graduate and make my friends and family proud
