i applaud anonymous. the way i see it, they fill the vacuum that's been left behind when the law becomes the only avenue for justice - and just as often, fails. they're not killing anyone, they're making us more aware.

oh my god we fucking get it, you've said the same thing like 6 times

i just really want to smoke a long wooden pipe, sherlock style. yes, i get that it may look stragne on this super hip 21 year old. but hot damn. i want to smoke a pipe.
