Check out: http://www.pantheist.net/society/anthropocentrism.html
it's an essay about deep ecology and abandoning our anthropocentric views.
I think it's really strange how so many people out there are caught up in their own selfish existence and probably feel very unsure and self-doubtful deep inside...Just the smallest acts of kindest can contribute to your own happiness as well as someone else's...
Recently, I have become interested (through my studies) in Nietzsche, existentialism, and post-modernity. I have also been studying African conflicts, and Rorty's philosophy, this semester.
I would like to have some essays up soon, from my courses last semester and this year.

Know Your Enemy
"Born with insight and a raised fist
A witness to the slit wrist
As we move into '92
Still in a room without a view
Ya got to know
Ya got to know
That when I say go, go, go
Amp up and amplify
Defy
I'm a brother with a furious mind
Action must be taken
We don't need the key
We'll break in
Something must be done
About vengeance, and badge and a gun
'Cause I'll rip the mike, rip the stage, rip the system
I was born to rage against 'em
Fist in ya face, in the place
And I'll drop the style clearly
Know your enemy
Word is born,
Fight the war, fuck the norm
Now I got to patience
So sick of complacence
With the DEFIANCE
The mind of a revolutionary
So clear the lane
The finger to the land of chains
What" The land of the free"
Whoever told you that is your enemy
Something must be done
About vengeance, a badge and a gun
'Cause I'll rip the mike, rip the stage, rip the system
I was born to rage against 'em
Now action must be taken
We don't need the key
We'll break in
I've got no patience now
So sick of complacence now
I've got no patience now
So sick of complacence now
Sick of sick of sick of sick of sick of sick of you
Time has come to pay
Yes I know my enemies
They're the teachers who taught me to fight me
Compromise, conformity,
assimilation, submission,
Ignorance, hypocrisy, brutality, the elite
All of which are American dreams"
