I don't recall that. I have read some decent arguments from "intelligent design," but I don't think a design argument, even if were plausible, leads to any particular religion. Scripture or religious texts are not infallible. Moreover I do not think, e-canis, there are good grounds for a soul or imm...

If only Our Gal Nefertiti would put on her leather jackboots, and do a little Theban death striptease......

Really, tho, if the mutha-f-er's stiff rises a few inches, or some doves appear, I''ll start eating the sacred ritz from now on.....

John Paul II does seem to have been a very decent, ethical, and erudite man. He spoke numerous languages, and was, as the obituary writers say, "an avid sportsman." He combatted the nazis and later the stalinists: and having read some wartime journals of poles, it is quite apparent that the catholic...

It is not blasphemous to, say, argue that the body of El Papa be used to feed starving animals ( or children): what is blasphemous is the Catholic corpse fetish (protestants also prone to it as well), where a piece of immaculately dressed hamburger is thought to have some magic power. Mandatory crem...

I don't really know how one assesses philosophers any more. Having read some excerpts of Benjamin online, it appears he's sort of an existentialist as well as marxist, and since there are numerous problems with either of those "camps" I would tend to disagree with his programme. Isn't there sort of ...

offered a choice 'tween Herrr Doktor Heidegger and the strange marxist-theosophy of Benjamin, I would choose, um, neither: but return to the Tractatus, or darwin........

Though not a poet, I have savored a few of Creeley's syntactical pirouettes, and I would dare yawp that he is as authentic a scribe ever hatched by ahht school-incubation.....somewhere between Pound and zen and WC Williams perhaps, with some decent beat fuckspeak in spots, Creeley was also no slouch...

yes, E.P. was in that madhouse for what 12 years? He was toast when he emerged. Pound was far from perfect as a human being, and I don't admire his anti-semitism, but us aspiring scribblers could do worse than imbibe some of his pre-madness writings. He played a mean game of schach as well.

Perhaps, e-canis, yet I'd have rather hung with some pompous and somewhat apolitical romantics such as Coleridge, Nietzsche or EP than with marcel duchamp and Co., or later the great ginzo, dylan etc........................but at yr age i prolly would have yawped the same........im younger than that...

Not that I really care, since I'm not poet and my own view of poesy is that it was buried with little ceremony circa 1918 in a stack of rat-eaten french and german corpses outside of the Verdun battlements, but simply eradicating some posts from a thread because one person found them distasteful, th...
