Dear America:
And so it has come to this. Your once-great nation has fallen into madness,
an affliction of mass denial that brings shivers up the spines of millions
outside your borders. Yours is a sick nation. But most of you carry on as
though nothing at all is the matter.
Dark, evil operations run rampant in the secret corners of your government
institutions. A dubiously constituted government pursues war at will
anywhere on earth, discussing nuclear options that become points for
cheerful chatter over lunch. Your military and intelligence agencies employ
terrorist tactics around the globe even as they insist that such tactics are
necessary in the fight against terrorism.
You have become a nation of monsters, America. Hypocrites. Murderers. Fools.

The experience of silence is a rare event in our noise-polluted earth. Yet meaning in music, even the meaning of death and life itself, depend on it.
Music has the power to move us, to trouble us, and even to offend us. How ought we to feel about Jew-hatred in J.S. Bach, or prettified terrorism in John Adams?

Look, Food is evil and Cooking is evil and Evil food and More evil food, oh my! Also, Coca-Cola is evil and The evil Big Mac and McDonald's is evil too!

And Vegetarian shock tactics slammed and other BBC vegetarian stories including AntiChrist is a vegetarian; and Vegetarianism causes blindness and genital defects but reduces prostate cancer. And Nestle is still evil. Surprise.

"If you sincerely desire a truly well-rounded education, you must study the extremists, the obscure and "nutty". You need the balance! Your poor brain is already being impregnated with middle-of-the-road crap, twenty-four hours a day, no matter what. Network TV, newspapers, radio, magazines at the supermarket... even if you never watch, read, listen, or leave your house, even if you are deaf and blind, the telepathic pressure alone of the uncountable normals surrounding you will insure that you are automatically well-grounded in consensus reality." --Rev.

In case any visitors here didn't get the message: I'm in the midst of an extremely protracted relocation. Well, there's lotsa stuff to move, and it's happening in slow-motion over a range from sea-level to mountainous, so it all takes awhile. Anyway, that's my excuse for not having more up-to-date entries here. Bear with me, it'll be over in a month or two. Whew.
It's more than just going places and seeing stuff. Travel writing should maybe be more than Here's Where I Went and Here's What I Saw. We can travel around our own interior and adjacent spaces. We can tie our experiences to our readings, perceptions, meditations, mutilations. Which is why some folks tour UFO/abduction sites and contemplate the reports of encounters there. I must work on my atlas, a travel atlas to spots of paranormal importance. Be sure to buy a copy. Meanwhile, I'll be at another observatory.
And how about abducted cows and ET corn gods and those phony dinosaurs and other cranky stuff? And don't forget the loons! Or the psychos either.
Meanwhile, after reading Dack's Perpetual Warlog and watching his tiny movies you'll need a drink. [via MonkeyBite]
And they're not even Catholic! But beware! Atheist Hacker Worms Into Church Sites ("Supova doesn't believe in God") and Psychic Spies ("Minority Report's crime-fighting pre-cogs are not just science fiction") and The Most Mortal Of Combat (holy wars are the dirtiest) and LUCIFER'S LIGHT - THE GREAT WORK (Hitler and Stalin worked for Satan) and of course Are You Al-Qaeda Or Not? (is that the matted blood of infidels in your hair?)
And see India Jews Carry Moses Gene ("India's children of Israel find their roots") and Indians Worshipping Dead British Soldier As 'God' ("He... has helped people get off court cases and solve their sexual problems") and XXholy Black Jesus ("The baddest action figure to ever save your malt liquor saturated soul!") and Virgin Mary seen in window ("The Catholic Church... is now sending experts to examine the window") and the Holy Grail (holy shit! all those sites!)
Then there are the Mental Discharge raves and the This Modern World weblog and Born To Chew (We Eat Meat), but those are completely different.

Should We All Be Vegetarians? - well, maybe -- try this:
"[using] a ruminant-pasture model of food production, which would replace poultry and pork production with beef, lamb and dairy products. According to his calculations, such a model would result in the deaths of 300 million fewer animals annually (counting both field animals and cattle) than would a completely vegan model."
