Ants Revisited

It was great to see him for a bit there, although I would seriously think about not connecting his face and location so precisely, for safety reasons, ‘cause I’m sure the old WTCD, as one might logically assume, is not a big fan favorite over at Langley, and especially so in Herzliya. I only say this because I care as a friend. Tell him to be safe. We are dealing with the heavy shit here. On second thought though, it is my hope, and probably complete fantasy, that there are some moral, patriotic American-firsters over at Langley who look at our site and say, “Damn, these guys are doing a fucking great job. They are putting it all together and standing up for the integrity of the country, and a real democracy and constitution by revealing the machinations of the seditious criminal gang that has penetrated the machine. Godspeed to Admiral Fallon. Now he needs to buy a battery-powered megaphone and walk around D.C. screaming like a prophet in sackcloth (see: Isaiah and Jeremiah).

I haven’t been on campus since 1978. The video took me back. I have spent hundreds of hours overheating and testing the limits of the Xerox machines at Widener for the copying of rare, difficult to find books from the stacks there. A great library, and I remember it fondly. RT is lucky to get to work and hang there. Harvard Square sure has gotten all modernized since the last time I saw it.

The students of Harvard with their “shock and awe.” Jeez... I know, I know, they’re young folks whose empirical political world awareness stretches back perhaps a mere 9 years, but there are college kids in Iran, Syria, and Lebanon right now who are staring down the barrel of a near-future, nuclear holocaust. My advice, keep your kids from drinking that water.

Is that a lost Beatles album, “The White Building”?

William James’ “The Varieties of Religious Experience” is a great read, and it pioneered the psychological approach to the understanding of human mystical experience. How symbolically appropriate that Leary would launch his LSD explorations from the William James Building, aside from the fact, of course, that the building housed the Psychology Dept.

And from the world of “dissident,” political-blogger pen-pals from around the globe, it was nice to see one of our good compadres, nonetheless. Now don’t let it happen again! ;) :( We always see each other in text form, which is great, and we are technologically fortunate to be able to do so, but indeed it is nice to get a glimpse of how we are all indeed real flesh and blood who care. The music sharing here also fleshes out the person behind the text. Very cool. My salute of respect and appreciative thanks to all the musicians here, both political and romantic. We are all real, well except for that sock-puppet Harley Guy mahfahk.

say cass, speaking of lesbians, can you see if you can access thecrimson.com? either they're down or they're blocking my IP address... :)

I *am* fond of Harvard students, which is why I'm trying to help them see the light before this place totally messes them up in the head like it has so many others. To tell the truth I've had some GREAT conversations with more than a few of them. I didn't actually talk to the music kids about 9/11--for better or worse my approach is "let them get used to seeing me (well, the message anyway) and ask once they get curious enough". They're not dumb, they'll come around soon enough!

And Bruce, thanks for the comparison to those comedy hunks--talk about scaring the chilluns! :)

yeah, hopefuly they will be curious...but they may be a tad sheepish..
