Rally With Reflection. Heal with Purpose.
These are trying times in which we live. Free Speech adn Individual RIghts and Freedoms are undersiege. The assulat on our rights as individuals can come from many palces, and from unexpected places. It may even come from censorship or institutional hostility towards a diversity of ideas or phlosophies. It may even show itself in the form of confrontational tactics in civil discourse adn socila intercourse. Please show your support to end this tyranny of bad manners.
For this reason, Friday April 4, 2003 ha been declared S.Odamninsane Day of Healing and Reflection. Please join me and others in Dahntahn Picksburgh to rally for this worhty cause. We will have time to reflect upon our presentation of our ideas in a civilized society. We can reflect on the cost of our civil liberites. We will reflect on the institutinoal assault on the righs and freedoms of the individual.
We will also have the opportunityto heal the wounds that Indy Media has casued in our community. We will work to heal the lesions upon the flesh of the local body politic which have been infected by Indy mdia and others at thsi website.
Topics will include
1. How we as a group can more effectively communicat our positins and have a positive impact on our comnity and nation.
2. How the creation of a community means respecting the rights of all of its citizens.
3. How slander and character assassinatino are never appropriate exercises of free sepeech.
4. How slander and character assassinatin are legally actionable.
5. Censorship of ideas of others just becasue you disagree with them is a bad idea.
6. The appropriate apology which will be made to S.Odamninsane for the censoorship he has endured while the postings of others directed at him remain without adulteration.
7. Horticulture and the porper care of ornamental shruberies.
So make a sign adn be Dahntahn Yinz Guys as we heal and reflect. I have found that if you slather your body with Neosporin Ointment priroto the rally you will both heal and reflect extremently well.
See you there. Grant Street. 4:00 p.m. ON THE SIDEWALK PLEASE.
Comrade!

Now it looks like thye have censored my request for cake. What is it IMC are you afraid that if everyone knows that Friday is my birthday they would rise up and bake a million cakes only to throw them in your face like a million confectionary Mogadishus?
Please, IMC lift the boot of oppression from my hands so I may type freely without fear of reprisal or censorship. I fight for the rights of us all, even the rights of those who oppose me. IMC Let me rally the masses to this great event, where we can all march peacefully (on the sidewoalks) having our cake and eating it too. What could be better.
so nice

Thank you all for your support and kind words. This is the cooperative supportive environment which will make this and future S. Odamninsane Days of Healing and Reflection a success. I hope to see everyone dahntahn this afternoon. I know we have scheduled to begin a 4:00, but I really expect things to get into full reflective swing closer to 5:00. Honk your horns today for S. Odamninsane Day of Healing and Reflection.
This will be a historic day you will not want to miss. REMEMBER: If you are not part of the solution, you need to dissolve some more!!!!
Let me get this right...

So, you are declaring a day for yourself?? Oh, the arrogance! I really can't figure out if your posings are meant to be jokes, or if you actually take this seriously. Is there a site for your organization (?) or a personal web page so I can attempt to clear-up my confusion? Thanks. I assume there is some parody going on as your name spells out "So Damn Insane." Is this really B. Meade?

Today IS S. Odamninsane Day of Healing and Reflection. This is VERY serious and has been declared by consensus and democratically, in response to the censorship, oppression, arbitrary application of editorial standards, general rudeness, assualt on civil rights, and general self-righteous humorlessness meted out upon various contributors to these erudite pages by Indy Media and others here. For full background I encourage you to read various of the strings which have been active this week. In a magnanimous showing of healing and reflection, today has been declared, by democratic consensus and with the support of Indy Media and others, S Odamninsane Day of Healing and Reflection.
And about my name... itis properly pronounced S. O Dom Nih Sahn E. Any linguistic stumbling is undeserved and any confusion B. Meade or any other persons (real or imagined) is common. See you dahntahn !
Let's Rally !

You are so right. I am healed and will be there to support others in their healing and reflection. From now on I will no longer be known as "Taunting Capitalist Dog", but shall be known as "Dog That Says 'Nee'." Rally Forth !

The Pittsburgh Police demonstrated conclusively that they would not know a peacefully assembly if it walked up threw a cake in their face. In a press release today they have said that they would not interfer with S. Odamninsane day, so lomng as the crowd stayed on the sidewalk. But they also said that they WOULD NOT allow any candles on our cakes orany other open flame. Oppressive bastards. They said it had something to do with safety concerns and possible explosive rresults if they are forced to use tear gas.
Thank You for Making This Day Grand

I want to thank everyone for making the first S. Odamninsane Day of Healing and Reflection a runaway success. Unfortunately the weather was not a cooperative as all of my many supporters, but you all still took to the streets with our message of reflection and healing. As I walked down Grant Street at 5:00 I looked to my right and to my left and there you all were, walking with me in support of our cause. This may well have been the most effective rally and march that has ever been organized on these pages. Everyone seemed to be reflecting on thoughts of peace and personal self-actualization (as opposed to someone else�s self-actualization as it seems so many of us are given to do more often than we focus on the SELF in the ACTUALIZATION). All and all it was a resounding success, and it could not have succeeded without all of you. I thank you. I thank the Mayor, I thank Cleveland and all others that put aside their petty personal and political differences and their secret stash of chocolate to make this day what it was. This was your day, relish it. It is like that great artist/poet/philosopher/part-time plumber/Welvis once said: �Love is like chocolate on the shelf. Step right up and help yourself.�
