- 1571: Creative Writing: Stanley
- ... probably the worst mistake that he could have made. Stanley already was employed as a cashier at Butchered Prices town market, and constructed buildings for a general contractor. As a sum of all this, Stanley's life sucked. He worked from dusk until dawn, stopping only to smoke a cigarette or a joint, (although Stan felt he smoked too much of both.) With this third job now beginning, his prospects seemed nothing but grim. In Stanley's mind, work was life and life was hard, so this is how work must be. He hated this thought, and therefore his own existence, which was his mind-set as he entered the doors of ... counter where Kyle was, and was given the response "Dunno." Dunno, What an asshole, Stanley thought to himself. Giving up all hope on the worthless shoe rental man, Stanley decided to go to the manager's office, hoping to see his new boss and therefore finding Kyle. Again, his presumptions were wrong. The manager's door was locked and a note attached to it: Gone fishing...You'll never find ...

- 1573: Eugene Ionesco's "Rhinoceros": True Means Resides in Action not Words
- Eugene Ionesco's "Rhinoceros": True Means Resides in Action not Words I awoke sweating. Breathing heavily, I glanced over at my clock and read the time. 4:00 AM. I wasn't sure if this was reality or not so I ran my palm over my scalp. No bump. A sigh of relief came over me. "Phew," I said, "it was only a dream." This is a ... Futile attempts to ease the pain of my "rhinocerotic" life. The only way to really not become a rhinoceros is by making the existential decision not to do so.

Jean illustrates this in the beginning of Act ...
- 1574: "Roseanne and The Kiss"
- ... to look up at a billboard that was on the side of the road, and saw a sign that read something like: “Be safe, be smart, be protected.” I thought to myself (immediately) “well, that's a big improvement from a few years ago when condom ads weren't even allowed on television.” Then I noticed, it had the gay symbols of the upside down pink triangle, and the symbols of two men and two women together. My first thought was “why is this necessary” then I mentioned that to my friend. He didn't notice, but we both kind of laughed and agreed that why does it have to be gay people that need to protect themselves? We (straight people) are just as much at risk--what was ...

- 1576: Censorship of Music in the Media
- ... our respective state capitols feel the need to regulate which musical albums and concerts I should be exposed to, then I guess that means I will have to find someone to vote for who doesn't feel that way; because those Lexus' and those mansions are harder to come by without taxpayers' money for a salary. In fact, repeated attempts to censor my music selection, not to mention my movies and ... The first amendment represents a profound national commitment to uninhibited, robust and wide-open discussion that may well include vehement, casuistic, and sometimes unpleasantly sharp speech.

- 1578: With And Without The State In
- ... watched as the Jews descended into their deaths. This soldier ignorantly mocks their status because he knows they will eventually die off. "He was a handsome young fellow" implies that he knows the peasants can't afford such dignity. Such unfair, cruel attitude towards humanity epitomizes how the state is not human. The government oppresses society, changing its atmosphere and safety when the 'love' and attention is not present. This region ... is devoid of the humanitarians or real doctors. The very few or appointed doctors only wanted money. "The man had just been brought back on a donkey to Stigliano to see a doctor." There weren't any decent people left to care. The fact that leaders ignored and contributed to neglecting the horrors and pities in the peasants' lives supported their inevitable pitfall and trivial importance in the state's agenda.
