Josh... are you Joshin' Me?

I was beginning to feel sorry for old Josh Wolf and his current journalistic plight, so I decided to learn more about him. One of the Google responses pointed me to a site called "43 thing", with which I am familiar. It is a place for people to post things they want to accomplish before they die. The specific website for the list provided by Josh Wolf from San Francisco is http://www.43things.com/person/insurgent. Since something on this website gives us an opportunity to go to Josh’s website, and it is THE Josh, then I can safely assume that “Insurgent” Josh is “soon to be thrown in the can Josh”.

Included on his list of things he wishes to accomplish are: Start a Revolution; Destroy Capitalism; Smash the State; Live in an Anarchist Community; Smash Capitalism and Global Domination; Tell President Bush he is an @#@# (my edit); and Democratize the Media. There are others, but you get the drift. Sorry, Josh but it's pretty clear to me you could probably rationalize withholding some really scary stuff based upon these stated goals, and if there is a question about it, I'd just as soon have somebody else take a gander. I don’t trust your judgment, Josh.

By the way, isn't it a little contradictory to claim protection under the first amendment while supporting and encouraging overthrow of the government that created it? I'd suggest you prepare to suffer for your cause Josh...even if it means being thrown in the slammer. We might all be safer.
