Terror Directed at Everyone

"Evil is the process of a simulacrum of truth. And in its essence, under a name of its invention, it is terror directed at everyone." -Alain Badiou

The Death of Marat

One Year Ago Today the King of Funny Faces Got a Tattoo



It's a thin, one inch, teardrop shaped black stab wound under my right collarbone.



It looks like the wound in "Death of Marat" by David.

Bullies are Not Welcome In New Jersey

Christie Signs Tougher Law on Bullying in Schools

The law, which goes into effect at the start of the next school year, lists harassment, intimidation or bullying as grounds for suspension or even expulsion from school. It applies to public schools, and portions of it apply to public colleges.
