"Is greatness possible in our time?"

"Freud, even more than Lincoln, might be called the Great Emancipator, like no man before him

[diesel dyke]

like no man before him he lent substance to the notion that all men are brothers. Criminals and madman are not devils in disguise but men and women who have problems of their own and there but for one experience or another, go you and I.

astute. that is the prime directive; isn't it? egality, fraternity, neuroses.
we have more in common than anyone realizes.

TORONTO (AP) - Greyhound has scrapped an ad campaign that extolled the relaxing upside of bus travel after one of its passengers was accused of beheading and cannibalizing another traveler.

The ad's tag line was ``There's a reason you've never heard of 'bus rage.'''

Accused canibal bus slayer accused of beheading a man and eating his ears said to police
"I have to stay on the bus forever". "

I have read too much Walter Kaufmann I think sometimes. Interesting guy.

The above is a quote about Freud is from a book which was an expanded version of this article

<center>THE FAITH OF A HERETIC
Walter Kaufmann</center>

When I was eleven, I asked my father: "What really is the Holy Ghost?" The articles of faith taught us in school in Berlin, Germany, affirmed belief in God, Christ, and the Holy Ghost, and I explained to my father: "I don't believe that Jesus was God, and if I can't believe in the Holy Ghost either, then I am really not a Christian."

At twelve, I formally left the Protestant church to become a Jew. Having never heard of Unitarianism, I assumed that the religion for people who believed in God, but not in Christ or the Holy Ghost, was Judaism.

A few months after my conversation with my father, but before I left the church, Hitler came to power, Warned of the persecution that my decision might entail, I replied that one certainly could not change one's mind for a reason like that. I did not realize until a little later that all four of my grandparents had been Jewish; and none of us knew that this, and not one's own religion, would be decisive from the Nazis' point of view. My decision had been made independently of my descent and of Nazism, on religious grounds.

Stratigraphy, All That Jazz

I hear a native flute playing
where I begin
now a piano too

we are spontaneous invention
generated in ages past
traveling not for ourselves
but for the future

a guitar I hear now
joining in
and snow

[MrGuilty]

I see a phantom bus
well lighted but not clean
I hear hysterical laughter
and some one say
shove a screw driver in his white ass
and I sat there like norman bates
cause I would not hurt a fly

Killer says you must kill me now

famous last words

At the end of Zen and the art of
he tells of his son't murder
mumbled words nobody heard

all I can do to keep from laughing


it is a bummer
What good did freud do except to arm my enemies
expose my fears
to their manipulation

I am sucking on a doral
it feels so good
just like sucking on a nipple
