  A few issues  back, I said that THO  was dead, well not any more.  I 
  have decided to take it  back online with an all new cast!  Mabcoss, 
  Mendlivian,  Kirrel Fenn and Isolt.  Tripping Jackrabbit has decided 
  to start up  his own little  text group  with  himself,  basically a 
  diary group, but whatever floats his boat right? :)  Icarus probably 
  doesn't even  remember  being a member :).   Psychosis never wrote a 
  thing for us,  but that's ok.  The new cast and crew of THO shall be 
  bigger and better than the old.  Hope  to see you  want to  apply to 
  us in the future. 

 
                   Peace,

                         THO #9 : Commentary 
                       By: Pip the Angry Youth 

 
  This country is going to hell in a handbasket.  We are the Butthead 
Generation, I don't know about you but that makes me rather sad and 
dissapointed.  A country of teenagers trying to impersonate 2 ficticious 
people who have nothing to say except "Uh huh huh, that was cool." and 
"FIRE FIRE FIRE!!!" 

  We need to wake ourselves up and slap each other in the face to 
realize what's happening to us, we are becoming brainwashed by that big 
black box in the living room that is on allmost all day, the damned 
television.  It shoves beautiful people at us, makes conversations and 
arguments over people who we have no clue as to what it's like to be 
them and call it a Talk Show.  Conversation is dead and your TV holds 
the smoking gun that shot it down.  Get up, stand up, read a fucking 
book or write a story or a simple commentary like this one to awaken 
your mind and expose your heart.  Don't be afraid to look someone in the 
eye when you are talking to them, don't stare at the ground or stare 
into thin air while walking somewhere so you don't have to deal with 
other people, a simple "hello" will suffice nicely.  DON'T BE SUCH A 
WIMP!!! 

  We are also a very contridictive race.  We are scared to do something 
about anything, but we are glued to the TV whenever there's a new murder 
in a city or a devastating force of nature decides to make havoc across 
the country.  To quote King Missile "Why are we allways so reactive? 
Let's activate something!"  Why don't you get off of your Lazy Boy 
recliner and put down your Budweiser and go out and play with your kids? 
Make a good impression on a neighbor who is struggling with their 
yardwork instead of ignoring them and pretend like you don't know that 
somehting is going on, just help them.  You see someone of another 
ethnic back ground walking the street, don't purposefully cross the 
street and pretend like they're not there, just say "hi" to them or at 
least acknowledge that they are there, brighten their day.  As my friend 
Matt said to me today "Y'know, you really should look a cashier in the 
eye and smile, it brightens their day."  A spec of human compassion goes 
a long way today because it's such a rarity. 

 
  Thanks for your time, it's been real.
