jlhVery very happy belated birthday to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
resmiranda, who is, as my mother would say, a kick in the pants. So glad to smoke with you at Nimbus, my dear, and so good to have you on my flist, always swimming against the current. The rest of this entry you can consider to have been inspired by Our Res' fightin' spirit.
Don't you hate bullies? I do. But here's a quote for the rest of you:
It is the common fate of the indolent to see their rights become a prey to the active. The condition upon which God hath given liberty to man is eternal vigilance; which condition if he break, servitude is at once the consequence of his crime and the punishment of his guilt.
--John Philpot Curran, “Election of Lord Mayor of Dublin,” speech before the Privy Council, July 10, 1790.
Or if you'd like something later and more familiar:
Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty—power is ever stealing from the many to the few.
--Wendell Phillips, speech before the Massachusetts Anti-Slavery Society, January 28, 1852.
So if you're actually freaked out, seepraetorianguard or heidi8 or tobymalfoy, and then redirect that nervous energy to joining the ACLU.
Now. About yesterday's entry. I work in the media industry. It's actually part of my job to watch important television events for a variety of reasons. (Yes, even though I couldn't give a shit about football, if I don't watch the Superbowl I will go into work on Monday and people will look at me oddly and say, "Why do you work here?") My watching the Golden Globes isn't plebey, it's professional. (It's also fun, actually, but I'm being defensive here.) It's awards season. Expect to see commentary about them here, behind a cut tag. If you don't like it, ain't nobody forcing you to read any of this, not only because IT WILL BE CUT FOR CHRISSAKES and because you can always defriend me. Door's over there.
That said, I forgot to note, mmmmmm Jude Law. MMM. And, I am very annoyed to have just watched the Golden Globes fashion review and they didn't even mention Queen Latifah. bitches. However, all of them said they liked Renee better with curves, so there.
Now to bed, to think up something clever for a certain miss something's birthday.
