Read it here: http://freekeene.com/2011/06/16/thomas-james-ball-self-immolated-in-protest-of-the-justice-system/
The article also includes Thomas's "last statement" describing why he immolated himself in protest of a government that is designed against men.

Incompetence and unscrupulousness waste time in the "land of the free"
Over the last week my time has been wasted in the following ways due either to incompetence or unscrupulous practices:
- Time Warner Cable didn't show up at the scheduled time for our installation appointment. The fiancee wastes an hour to get a mere $20 credit for our wasted time waiting at home for them.
- Ikea delivery folks call me to let me know they're delivering to our apartment in half an hour, and since I'm half way across town running errands and a bit distracted I simply say "okay" even though they weren't supposed to show up until three hours later - that's why I was running errands and not already at home. So I drive back across town to my apartment and make it there in 25 minutes only to find that they already showed up at my apartment and then left after calling my fiancee and having her tell them to wait. Meanwhile my fiancee has been waiting for 20 minutes for me to pick her up while I'm on the phone with Ikea trying to figure out where the delivery guys are - who Ikea can't get a hold of. Ikea tells me if I have a complaint they can give me a fucking e-mail address to contact, so I let them know I'll be sure to let everyone know about their crappy delivery service and I need to go pick up my fiancee, thank you, goodbye. Later my fiancee called back and got the delivery fee refunded, or so they claim - I don't see the refund in my account yet. Maybe we'll have the pleasure of spending another hour to actually get our refund.
- Now my fiancee is in the process of trying to get our Time Warner Cable fixed because they decided to charge us $50 a month for high speed internet when we had requested the $25 a month regular speed internet (which they are now claiming is $30 a month alone). Not only that, but they somehow managed to cash only $72 on a check I wrote for $73. She's been on the phone for 40 minutes already and she hasn't even gotten to the check issue yet. Jesus.
Drives me to drinkin'! Well not really, but I just now received a flask in the mail that's a cheap knockoff of the brand I ordered from a seller on Amazon. I've put through a complaint to the seller through Amazon so we'll see how that goes. I can't wait!
I'm not a nitpicky person, but I'm tired of people wasting our time either through sheer stupidity or through calculated scams. And after they waste our time once we then have to spend even more time convincing them to correct their mistakes and compensate us for the hassle and wasted time. God damn.
Some of it's due to corporate or individual greed and the rest due to non-value-adding bureaucracy. Or maybe it's just human stupidity.

Accountability & slut walks
Finally got around to listening to A Voice for Men Radio from last week.
edit, another loose quotation (may not be exact):
Edit: Another quotation:
We as men need to start holding women collectively accountable for what's going on and we need to start holding more men collectively accountable for enabling it.
edit, another loose quotation (may not be exact):
Feminists only go into places where there is no dissent... and the slut walks are all about quelling free speech.
Edit: Another quotation:
What we find at A Voice for Men is when we talk, they shut up - they always shut up.
Screw caffeine, I'll take a nap
When you get tired it's because your body needs sleep. I routinely took naps after lunch because that's what my body wanted. Or you could just be a slave and pump your body full of stimulants to produce, produce, produce for little gain to yourself...
Article on sleep at Mercola here.
This isn't surprising, either:

The data is quite clear on this point: Engaging in shift work dramatically increases mortality. According to Dr. Naiman, shift work can decrease your lifespan by about seven years on average!

Good article at FRS regarding the demonization of male sexuality and how it nabs even Democrat politicians: http://falserapesociety.blogspot.com/2011/06/congressmans-tragedy-is-victiory-for.html
Lipsyncing to become a felony
From demandprogress.org:
America, America, God shed His grace on thee...
THIS WEEK Senators will be voting on a "Ten Strikes" bill to make it a felony to stream copyrighted content -- like music in the background of a Youtube video -- more than ten times.
As the writers at TechDirt point out, under this bill you could go to jail for posting video of your friends singing karaoke
America, America, God shed His grace on thee...

Ethanol in gasoline
I noticed the gas I used today had an ethanol content of 10%. A Google search later I find the following information:
And some other juicy comments that came up from a Google search:
That's from 2008.
Wouldn't surprise me. The government gives breaks to corn producers, GMO corn being mass-produced with seed from global corporations like Monsanto, which according to this article is "The Most Evil Company on the Planet" (and don't forget to watch Food Inc. either). Corn is used to produce ethanol. Ethanol is used in gasoline, and we must buy more of the 10% ethanol gasoline to achieve the same mileage, which benefits not only big agriculture but big oil, too, and the politicians, corporate fat cats, and big investors reap the benefits.
As usual, the people suffer while the unscrupulous "elite" grow fat off our slavery.
Ethanol has 34 percent less energy than gasoline per gallon, which equates to about 2 to 3 miles per gallon for E10 (10 percent ethanol), according to the New York Times.
And some other juicy comments that came up from a Google search:
Gas in Mexico is $2.50 a gallon? Saudi Arabia gas is 45 cents a gallon. Our troops have to pay $3.00 a gallon for gas over there? There is a movement to destroy America and our Society. Americans are being robbed!Why are prescriptions cheaper in Canada? Why does Cuba and Canada have better health care then we do here in America? Folks we are under attack by our own Government!! What has our Government done for America in the last 7 years? How many more good jobs can we afford to lose? Come out of your bubble folks!
That's from 2008.
Enjoy the high prices for corn while they last, farmer boy. Once the ethanol scam starts to cost politicians their jobs it will disappear as quickly as it's been forced down our throats.
Once more: ETHANOL = SCAM

Glaring example of the government's corruption, in this case the FDA
From Mercola.com:
You can watch the film free through tomorrow here: http://vimeo.com/24821365
edit: Updated the video link to one that isn't ass-slow.
Burzynski, the Movie is the story of a medical doctor and Ph.D biochemist named Dr. Stanislaw Burzynski who won the largest, and possibly the most convoluted and intriguing legal battle against the Food and Drug Administration in American history.
In the 1970’s, Dr. Burzynski made a remarkable discovery that threatened to change the face of cancer treatment forever. His non-toxic gene-targeted cancer medicine could have helped save millions of lives over the last two decades had his discovery not been criminally suppressed by the US government, as his therapy, called “antineoplastons,” have been shown to effectively help cure some of the most “incurable” forms of terminal cancer.
This documentary takes you through the treacherous 14-year journey Dr. Burzynski and his patients have had to endure in order to finally obtain FDA-approved clinical trials of antineoplastons.
His story is yet another testament that fact can be far stranger than fiction, as the film exposes the powerful, unscrupulous forces that work to maintain the status quo of the medical- and pharmaceutical industry at any cost—including the lives of millions of people.

The Hangover Part II sucks
Just an FYI, The Hangover Part II sucks.
I normally check IMDB.com and Rotten Tomatoes reviews before seeing a film, but I wanted to check out this particular theater and for some reason I thought the movie wouldn't be a half-assed over-the-top cash in on the first film, which I enjoyed. But it was.
I feel betrayed. More, I feel sad that this piece of trash did so well, and Americans ate it up. And I contributed to it!
Ugh.
