Blade of p'Na, prequel to Forge of the Elders, c'est finis (pardon my French)! 83,563 words. Gonna let it fester (or ferment) over the weekend, then send it to my publisher. Further publication details will be forthcoming. Your friendly neighborhood novelist, L. Neil Smith
It passed! It actually passed! Dear Fight for the Future member, You did it! Last week -- after they were bombarded by calls from FFTF members and many others -- the U.S. House of Representatives overwhelmingly voted to cut funding for some of the NSA's most nefarious backdoor spying programs. There's no question about it. The tides are turning. We didn't just win this vote, we won it by a landslide. 293-123. Our movement is showing its power, and organized Internet users are once again proving to be a more formidable force than the U.S. government (or any of the pundits) expected. We still have a long way to go. No matter what happens in Congress, we will need to continue our Reset the Net effort to secure the web through technology. As we know all too well, governments often bend and break the rules they set for themselves, and so far the reforms on the table in Congress don't do nearly enough to protect the rights of people outside the U.S. But one thing is certain: we are gaining ground, and the NSA is losing it. We're beating them back with technology, pushing politicians to cut their funding, and dragging their secretive programs out into the sunlight for all to see. This vote in congress didn't happen by magic. So many of us have spoken out in the last year and made it clear in no uncertain terms that mass surveillance is not okay. Our movement has become too big for Congress to ignore. We forced them to go on record supporting change. Click here to get the full story, and share this sweet victory with your friends. We still have much work to do, but today is a day worth celebrating! More soon. Sincerely,
P.S. Fight for the Future helped lead the charge to ensure that these Amendments passed, and we'll be there tomorrow and the next day to move this fight forward. Will you support our work with a donation of whatever you can afford? Our small team will make every penny count.
For those that don't know about history....
Humans originally existed as members of small bands of nomadic hunters/gatherers.
They lived on deer
in the mountains
during the summer and would go to the coast
and live on fish and lobster in the winter.
The two most important events in all of history were the invention of beer
and the invention of the wheel.
The wheel was invented to get man to the beer.
These were the foundation of modern civilization and together were the catalyst for the splitting of humanity into two distinct subgroups:
1 . Liberals
Once beer
was discovered, it required grain and that was the beginning of agriculture.
Neither the glass bottle
nor aluminum can
were invented yet, so while our early humans were sitting
around waiting for them to be invented, they just stayed close to the brewery.
That's how villages were formed.
Some men spent their days tracking and killing animals to BBQ at night
while they were drinking beer. This was the beginning of what is known as the Conservative movement...
Other men
who were weaker and less skilled at hunting learned to live off the conservatives by showing up for the nightly BBQ's
and doing the sewing,
fetching, and hair dressing.
This was the beginning of the Liberal movement.
Some of these liberal men eventually evolved into women. They became known as girlie-men.
Over the years conservatives came to be symbolized by the largest, most powerful land animal on earth, the elephant.
Modern liberals like imported beer (with lime added), but most prefer white wine
or imported bottled water.
in Hollywood and group therapists are liberals. Liberals invented the designated hitter
rule because it wasn't fair to make the pitcher also bat.
Conservatives drink domestic beer,
mostly Bud or Miller. They eat red meat
and still provide for their women. Conservatives are big game hunters,
rodeo cowboys,
lumberjacks,
construction workers,
firemen, medical doctors, police officers,
engineers, corporate executives, electricians, athletes, members of the military, airline pilots, estimators and generally anyone who works productively.
Conservatives who own companies hire other conservatives who want to work for a living.
Liberals produce little or nothing. They like to govern the producers and decide what to do with the production. Liberals believe Europeans are more enlightened than Americans. That is why most of the liberals remained in Europe when conservatives were coming to America .
They crept in after the Wild West was tamed and created a business of trying to get more for nothing.
Here ends today's lesson in world history:
It should be noted that a Liberal may have a momentary urge to angrily respond to the above before forwarding it.
A Conservative will simply laugh.
