LYRICS
Do you ever think about
What a lovely place the world would be
Without all the people
That make life so unpleasant?
All the small, petty people
All the ugly, annoying people
It's hard not to think about it
I like to think about
What could be
Done to these people
Something cruel
Something mean
Something just
But the meaner the better
Goodness knows they deserve it
Have you ever dreamed of
Killing all the stupid people?
Not just the unintelligent people
But the sort that don't know anything about
anything
But seem to have opinions about everything
They're only too ready to offer their advice
about
How to run your life
And yet look at how they run their own lives
For the most part they've accomplished
nothing
They've contributed nothing
Their lives are miserable
But they talk, talk, talk...
At the very least their tongues should be cut
out
At the very least
Do you ever wanna
Kill all the people who tell lies?
Some certainly deserve it
Not necessarily the big liars
Or even those who teach lies as truth
I'm talking about people
Who say one thing and do another
Or who tell you they sent something express
mail
When you know they haven't
Did you ever want to
Kill all the slow people in the world?
The people who are in front of you
When they should be behind you
A crime that the swift should be help back by
the slow
And it's criminal that nothing is going to
rectify it
And what about all the really ugly people?
Add them to the list as well
Some people try not to think about life's
ugliness
I've thought about it
I've thought about it quite a lot
Something should be done to these people
Something to make them suffer
The way they've made us suffer
I say, bring back the Circus Maximus
For starters
Unless these weeds are dealt with
They'll poison everything
They are poisoning everything
We need a gardener
A brutal gardener
A thorough, thoughtful gardener
An iron gardener
Whatever happened to Vlad the Impaler?
Where's Genghis Kahn when you need him?
Or Roi d'Ys?
Ayatollah Khomeini?
Adolf Hitler?
Benito Mussolini?
Nero?
Diocletian?
Kitchener?
Come back!
Come back!

On June 19, danah boyd participated in the
Berkman Luncheon Series to discuss her work
and research in the area of social networks.
She provided a great historical context to
the various sites that have come and gone
from the center of Internet activity, as well
as some insight into what brought about their
successes and failures.
Prior to her presentation she explained,
"Publics offer youth a space to engage in
cultural identity development. By engaging in
public life, youth learn to interpret the
cultural signals that surround them and
incorporate these cultural elements into
their life. For a diverse array of reasons,
contemporary youth have limited access to the
types of publics with which most adults grew
up. As a substitute for these inaccessible
publics, networked publics like MySpace and
Facebook are emerging to provide contemporary
American youth with a necessary site for peer
engagement."
