Bio:"Let me give you a word of the philosophy of reform. The whole history of the progress of human liberty shows that all concessions yet made to her august claims, have been born of earnest struggle. The conflict has been exciting, agitating, all-absorbing, and for the time being, putting all other tumults to silence. It must do this or it does nothing. If there is no struggle there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground, they want rain without thunder and lightening. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters."

"This struggle may be a moral one, or it may be a physical one, and it may be both moral and physical, but it must be a struggle. Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will. Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them, and these will continue till they are resisted with either words or blows, or with both. The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress. In the light of these ideas, Negroes will be hunted at the North, and held and flogged at the South so long as they submit to those devilish outrages, and make no resistance, either moral or physical. Men may not get all they pay for in this world; but they must certainly pay for all they get. If we ever get free from the oppressions and wrongs heaped upon us, we must pay for their removal. We must do this by labor, by suffering, by sacrifice, and if needs be, by our lives and the lives of others."

-- Frederick Douglass, 1857

Howdy, folks! Name's Matthew Perry Hardwick. Call me Matt. Just so you guys n' gals can get an idea of my cuteness:

title or description


The Studmuffin Extrordinaire above runs the Journal you're visiting the userid section of right now. He also runs a LiveJournal blog --[info]realmainstream-- and two communities:

[info]robinsonjeffers
[info]workangst

I also have some features that I post:

Breaking unNews (mainly when this country's swept up in some kinda hysteria, presently inactive)
The Experts Speak! (An ongoing record of people doing the silliest thing they can possibly do: Predict Events)
My Definitions (The special terminology I use-- and unlike many pundits, am willing to explain...)
News Story Found Poetry (The Poesis of Modernism ain't dead; as a matter of fact it's on the news on a regular basis! Marianne Moore and Donald Rumsfeld, eat your heart out...)
Dispatches from the Gore Administration: An old feature depicting life an an alternate-universe America that I only title in the Memories: section-- purely for psych-out reasons, natch...;-P

What I plan to do with this blog, however, is write 1,000,000 words in it. About anything that strike my fancy. I'll have a link about the whys and wheretofores later on, but that amounts to about 20 200 page books or so. Below is the number of books I've finished, am working on, or haven't started:

"This book is a mirror: when a monkey looks in, no philosopher looks out."
--William Blake

1. "Working Live Journal" (Imaginative, I know...);-)
2. "The Iraq War Years"
3. "Diabetic Liberty"
4. "Apathy: A Practical Handbook"
5. "The Nightmare Protcols"
6. "This Ain't No Disco"
7. "Memories Can't Wait"
