Good trash.
Good trash put to use in the dorm. |

| I have grown up with some kind of crazy complex about not liking
certain foods, particularly fruit. Today, at age 20, for the
first time, I ate an apple.

| I'm not apologizing for my recent posts, but I'm changing strategies
and am only going to post positive things for awhile. I have not meant
to come across as such a complainer. My roommate pointed it out to me
that that is the only side of me visible on xanga.

U.S. Drops to #53 on World Press Freedom Index List
Reporters Without Borders has released its fifth annual Worldwide Press
Freedom Index and it shows the level of press freedom in the United
States continues to fall. In 2002 the U.S. was rated as having the
seventeenth freest press – now it is ranked fifty-third.
Reporters Without Borders criticized the Bush administration for using
the so-called war on terrorism to crack down on press freedoms.
The report also criticized the United States for jailing journalists at
home and abroad.
Freelance journalist and blogger Josh Wolf remains in a San Francisco
jail for refusing to hand over video to the police.
Al Jazeera camerman Sami Al Haj has been locked up at Guantanamo for
over four years. Associated Press photographer Bilal Hussein has been
held in Iraq since April. Neither Al Haj or Hussein have ever faced
charges. Reporters Without Borders found that the nations with the
freest press were Finland, Iceland, Ireland and the Netherlands.
North Korea was rated as the worst upholder of press freedom.
