    Needing to work to be happy, or to have a meaningful life, or to feel productive or fulfilled, or whatever - that’s been an alien concept to me my entire life.

    People talk about their careers with pride, they look forward to going to work and … I don’t understand it. Is this supposed to be an achievement? There is no amount of money or perks that could fool me into believing I’m not selling my life away. It’s really fucking hard to pretend everything is fine, when sometimes I just want to disappear in the woods.

    Doesn’t anyone else feel like this?








  • Idaho wasn’t always a haven for the radical right and their terrorist agenda. Progressive environmentalist Senator Frank Church (D) represented the majority of the populace, and when white supremacists tried to muscle into northern Idaho, the locals successfully fought back.

    Beginning in the 1980’s, Idaho’s incredible natural resources and staggeringly cheap property attracted a steady flood of survivalists, developers, and right-wing extremists from other states. This ongoing influx has shifted state politics to nearly Texas levels of hate, and the ensuing economic assault - as well as the sprawling destruction of its natural resources - has driven out many people from Idaho.

    Even this shrieking douchebag Dan Foreman, is from Illinois. He moved to Idaho around 2005.
