Cursive

if i say this is an emo band, a lot of people will be turned off, but really it's allll fucking emo.

Tim Kasher is brilliant though, and they make great music. I have The Ugly Organ and Domestica and they are definitely some of my favorite CDs.

Tim Kasher used to be in a band with another person who is one of my favorites: Conor Oberst of Bright Eyes. They used to be in Commander Venus or something. They're good friends. If you like Cursive, you might like Bright Eyes.
What's special about Cursive is that they have a celloist in their band. It's odd, but the cello adds a fantastic texture to the whole thing.

Tim Kasher's voice brims with emotions when he sings. I love that guy. BUt the time I went to see him for the Plea for Peace Tour, he was drunk as fuck and got the songs and lyrics mixed up. BUt he's great. Listen to him

answer

what they stand for: Act Now To Stop War and End Racism. They are a good group, and have organized a lot of protests, although I have to admit these protests seemed to have no effect whatsoever
The protests are never specific enough. These days, ANY protest is automatically mutated into an anti-irag-war and pro=palestine. The message shouldn't be so diluted. There are always like 10 different ideas and you're not really sure if you went for the right reason

But anywho, answer is great; they strive for equality in the world

screening

usually an indie movie or film. When this word is used, I tend to imagine that it is cheaper or free as opposed to when it's CALLED a movie or a flm.

Indie elitists use this term to sound cool, as do I.
1. Let's go watch the (insert film here) screening tonight.

2. I heard they're screening (insert film her) at (x location). Let's go watch.

shrub

1. George Shrubya Bush.
2. A shrub in the White House that needs to be uprooted and sent back to Texas
The shrub has ruined my life and the lives of my postdecessors.

thoughtcrime

Orwellion concept.

A crime that you are guilty of because you are THINKING of doing something bad. (i.e. In 1984's Oceania, spending time alone is almost a crime because it's considered odd, and odd people are a threat to a stable environment such as theirs.)

also, see patriot act. (i.e. when you check anarchist cookbook out from the library or something, the gov might have the right to go into your home and tap your phone and computer. And it's all perfectly legal since you might be a terrorist.)

US CONSTITUTION

a document that is ignored by the United States whenever it deems appropriate, kind of like the Geneva Conventions
There is absolutely no consistency for when to follow the constitution, and when to ignore it.
