Hi Lewis,

Would you be classed as a 'pink eye' 'pinko' candidate in your own culture =
even now, in view of the current situations by those masculine right-wing C=

What is Conjunctivitis?
Conjunctivitis, better known as Pink Eye, is an infection of the inside=
of your eyelid. It is usually caused by allergies, bacteria, viruses, or c=
hemicals.

What are the signs and symptoms?
Red, irritated eye.
Some burning and/or scratchy feeling.
There may be a purulent (pus) or a mucous type discharge.
How is it treated?
It depends on what caused the Pink Eye. It may or may not need medicati=
on for treatment. If medication is given, follow the directions on the labe=
l.

What else do I need to know?
To prevent the spread of the infection:

Wash hands throughly
Before you use the medicine in your eyes.
After using the medicine in your eyes.
Everytime you touch your eyes or face.
Wash any clothing touched by infected eyes.
Clothes
Towels
Pillowcases Do not share make-up. If the infection is caused by bacteri=
a or a virus you must throw away your used make-up and buy new make-up.
Do not touch the infected eye because the infection will spread to the =
good eye. IMPORTANT!!!
Pink Eye Spreads Very Easily!

Killing by Numbers...


Killing by Numbers
As the wind stretches it yawns across broken lands it brushes over lost
bodies disparate and battered blown, scattered into a state of timeless
disposability.

An electro Darkwave-Ballad,
about a woman who has just been shot, lying in rubble asking questions to a
soldier before she dies 'why are so many men in this world so addicted to
killing'?

I Eat The World...


I Eat The World
The world is my fuel
commodified and made easy
for the process
society is my parent
and it feeds my hunger
like a worm
I eat my world's resources
it manufactures my body
I accept in submission
what is and what must be
