Hey there! You can call me Nick. Or Nicholas, your choice. As long as you don't call me William Chucklepants I think we're good. I'm the very eventful age of 17, so most likely you will discard what I say as small minded drivel. And as with most interesting characters in my age group, I have no goddamn idea what my purpose in this small blip of time called "life" is.

Most of this— whatever. But there are facts in here that are brutal, and the student debt/unemployment crisis sometimes really freaks me out. Our generation is really getting fucked.

What does Invisible Children share in common with the Discovery Institute, the leading organization promoting “Intelligent Design”, a pseudo-scientific theory created to insinuate creationist ideas into public schools — or with The Call, whose leader Lou Engle claims homosexuals are possessed by demons, calls God an “avenger of blood” and a “terrorist”, and in May 2010 staged a rally in Kampala, Uganda, at which Engle warned of a gay menace to society and shared a stage with one of the authors of Uganda’s notorious Anti Homosexuality Bill ?

(I said stalking horse for the “kill all the queers” people two days ago. Right there, people. Right. Effing. THERE.)

As if I needed another reason to stay the hell away from them.
