Ecco Confederatus
"Confederate, All Too Confederate"

I have created a website about "The Erotic History of Vampires," not to be controversial or to shock people's sensibilities, but to protest my dismissal from graduate school at the University of Texas at Austin a semester short of getting my PhD in Aerospace Engineering. The Vampire theme, although it fits many of the facts, is done as much in the spirit of protest as in the spirit of accuracy. As soon as the University found out I was disabled, with what the VA kindly calls a "stress disorder" I was history. Overnight I went from being a shining star of the program to being a black hole. They broke every rule in the book to expel me.

All of my technical research is on the web site, plus six more websites: an expose' of a 10,000 year old civilization that wrote the oldest book in existence - the Book of Job, in the Bible; a look at honor during the later Roman Empire, when the Vampire myth first began; a few natural healing practices which were purged as witchcraft by the Inquisition; a free novel about the Archangel of Light during the Civil War; book reviews in a small library; and excerpts from my gothic romance novel from First Books Library called Behold Leviathan.

Thanks in advance for your support in my war against the University - alas, against the whole establishement!

Kids beware... you could be coming home in a body bad. You're better of going to college and smoking pot and popping pills like I did.

Even though the majority of people I know?all love ecstasy and hate soccer moms, things are apparently getting out of hand.We see articles like this all the time. The mothers get upset when their kids try new things and then the shit hits the fan and the police are turned into the gestapo.

All you teenage ravers out there?please kill your hysterical mothers so this circle of violence can end. Me I'm not popping any more pills in the USA until this Drug War nonsense gets shoved under the rug. The end.

My friend and I are big into bud, art, music and such. Aparently, Catholic schools aren't.

My friend z, who goes to a catholic school as opposed to me in public school, was given an art assignment. Paint a picture. He decided he would paint a picture of Buddha in an Andy Kaufman style. Apparently Buddha and Jesus don't get along. Because z was suspended for a week and kicked out of art class. His parents, devout Christians, agreed with the school.

Ooh the Sloth writes "British and American scientists have confirmed what chemical ravers have known for years... real ecstasy (MDMA) is safe and that Dick Cheney is a dangerous prick intent on starting World War III. Read all about it in the UK Guardian here and here respectively. Now if only we can get Dick to drop a few e-bombs instead of real bombs then we would all be better off. Unless of course they made him die from a heart attack which would disprove the aforementioned findings by scientists."
