Daughter asked what is Shock Doctrine? I replied it is some neo-liberal wank, an emotion of the self important, prescribed onto others... it is best if you just kill these people. It is best for all. It is best for the collective.

FRINGE DWELLERS: The great problem with us fringe-dwellers is that we never belong. The great thing about us fringe dwellers is that we never belong.

I was watching Mr Leonard Cohen in his last interview, talking about life and luck, and praising Mr Dylan for having a deeper well of ideas. I agree. As Mr Cohen noted, well, to give the Nobel Prize for Literature to Bob Dylan, this is just like acknowledging that Mt Everest is the highest mountain, because it is.

In general I note a rise of the power of advertising for its own value even in the most personal aspects of our mysterious lives. You see this in the response to the Cancers...he/she fought a strong battle against the Cancers etc... What is that battle? Something, evolutionary, has gone naturally wrong with the gene and the body...is this a battle? We live a long time now. Who are we fighting, except our own human nature? I believe some of the cancers protect us from the more nasty ones. Is this unlike the War on Drugs or the War on Terror, really? If oncology had actually worked, we would well know by now. Quite some years ago Japanese scientific inventiveness moved away from curing the cancers to creating a natural Blue Rose and they are still working on that, because the task is easier...and the results far more profitable and realistic.

As for cancers,
I have a few, but then again, too few to mention...

Dogs and cats and birds don't seem to have much trouble in barking, purring or squawking about life in general. I don't see why we need to censor the various songs and noises of humans.

Nazism, Anti-Arab Rhetoric, Anti-Semitism, Zionism, Anti-Islam, Apartheid, etc...You can't stop a bad idea by repressing it...you beat a bad idea by proposing and living a better one. Nothing is inappropriate.
