Best of the last few weeks:

Hey!

I was doing a similar images search for an image of mine, that often get's abused. I found it in your article here:

[link] .

The image is originally posted here ( [link] )under Creative Commons licensing, strictly forbidding commercial use without my concent and non-commercial without crediting me.

The going rate from looking at recent cases in US, for the wrongful use of one image is $1000. If you could contact me, we could come to terms on how and when payment should be made.

The human eye is a wonderful device. With a little effort, it can fail to see even the most glaring injustice.
Poems and Other Prevarications

"In any agenda, political or otherwise, there is a cost to be borne. Always ask what it is, and who will be paying. If you don't, then the agenda makers will pick up the perfume of your silence like swamp panthers on the scent of blood, and the next thing you know, the person expected to bear the cost will be you. And you may not have what it takes to pay"…

"The personal, as everyone's so fucking fond of saying, is political. So if some idiot politician, some power player tries to execute policies that harm you or those you care about, take it personally. Get angry. The Machinery of Justice will not serve you here -- it is slow and cold, and it is theirs, hardware and soft-. Only the little people suffer at the hands of Justice; the creatures of power slide out from under with a wink and a grin. If you want justice, you will have to claw it from them. Make it personal. Do as much damage as you can. Get your message across. That way you stand a far better chance of being taken seriously next time. Of being considered dangerous. And make no mistake about this: being taken seriously, being considered dangerous, marks the difference -- the only difference in their eyes -- between players and little people. Players they will make deals with. Little people, they liquidate. And time and again they cream your liquidation, your displacement, your torture and brutal execution with the ultimate insult that it's just business, it's politics, it's the way of the world, it's a tough life, and that it's nothing personal. Well, fuck them. Make it personal. "
