[MARKEEFE@aol.com] something to read in your spare time ["Russ Reynolds" Subject: "donny was a good man. and a good bowler." i think i've figured out that there must be subliminal messages in IN THE AEROPLANE OVER THE SEA that make you keep listening to it over and over and over and over again. of course, King Of Carrot Flowers does seem to follow so naturally from Two Headed Boy. The Illustrated Man just rules. but then, i really dig "sci-fi" anthologies. herbert's Eye. donaldson's Daughter Of Regals. asimov's two robot compilations (which i think are the best things he's done, apart from maybe Foundation And Empire.) he didn't give you any more info than that, woj? like, was that the only song he *recognised*, or did he actually sit and watch the credit roll. 'cause, you know, You've Got A Sweet Mouth was supposed to have been sung by guy pearce. and robyn himself has only ever played it about five times, i think. so it could be that guy pearce was singing this song in the movie, and your friend didn't recognise it as being a robynsong. and did he say who Elizabeth Jade was sung by? and how did he like the movie? if you know. i really think i or lobstie oughta tape you telling the "story to end all stories" (capuchie and friends in the beck moshpit at bumbershoot '97) and we can make it an item in the permatree. maybe we could even videotape it. 'cause you know, as i mentioned last june, it turns out that jeme is quite good at physical comedy as well. see, then we could get the video of quail and lj dropping balloons filled up with tomatoes, olives, chickpeas, and some strips of skin out of the window of quail's 44th story empire state building office, and include that as filler. um, you *are* planning on doing this, yes, quail and lj? "just" nothing! he's BREWER FUCKING TOM for fuck's sake! BREWER FUCKING TOM!! who you callin' a "peole," you fuckin' hippie? you better not be callin' my buddy mike runion a "peole," or i'm gonna have somethin' to say about it! this is a NICE list, remember? oh wait, i get it! this is another "typo," is it? okay-dokay. who decreed this, and when?? this won't do AT ALL. do everything in your power to get him fired, mike. why do i believe this? good day at the rekkid store today. found dylan, cadallaca, and sunny day real estate used. the sunny day is pretty amazing. maybe we can say it's not quite as good as DIARY, but a little better than RETURN OF THE FROG QUEEN? http://leb.net/iac/ "As we often see in US foreign policy, other nations' attempts to defend themselves from US attacks are defined as aggression." --Jake Sexton ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 10 Feb 1999 16:22:35 -0800 From: Mark_Gloster@3com.com Subject: gay puppets When Jim Henson was cornered about Bert and Ernie "being homosexual," he said: "They're _PUPPETS_!"

Not cos they wanted to, but cos they hadda eat. > >Lot like the DEA, really. (Apologies to the bored. But this needed a bit of clarification. Skip if you're not interested, as always) Yeah well, er, were those people all buddies with Hoover? Part of what did Winchell in was the zeal with which he plunged into it. This wasn't from hunger or a wish to avoid blacklisting. He really did believe there were commie agents everywhere that had to be stamped out. I think he was far from being the only person for whom this crusade filled a certain empty feeling left by the end of the war. This was a man who needed a mission and needed an issue. He just ended up choosing the wrong one to pump up that time. It's a bit ironic considering that he was a New Deal Liberal to the core and had always idolized FDR, whom many of the "let's kill a commie for the USA" types absolutely hated. The tension of being on the same side as some former enemies -was- something that bothered him. But I think......he was convinced that this was a gathering menace to freedom, just as he had seen Hitler as such. And since people had insisted he was wrong about Hitler, and he hadn't been, he hung on rather tenaciously to the idea that he was eventually going to be proven right by history this time too. Sigh.

I am way more than satisfied that I've said my peace on this subject. I do think, though, that in the interest of full disclosure, I have to make a couple of things clear: 1) I am not some kind of Luddite. Despite the fact that I am quite happy and content in my tv-free, car-free, computer-less existence (I work with them, but I don't own one), I am too enamored with the fruits of technology to go back to some (falsely) idealized loin-cloth-and-spears society. I think that would be a shit life. People died before they got as old as I am now on average when that way of life was the norm. The Earth couldn't sustain its current population in that way. And as Jeme is so fond of pointing out, we can't "forget", anyway. I have some crises with regards to this issue on occasion, though. I don't think that a technological advance is EVER one-sided-ly good. We don't get anything for free, and we often give up more than we realized. As a classic example, the printing press was the death knell of the oral tradition. I *love* having stories told to me. I love the drama and theatricality of a good teller. I would love to have that skill myself. And I wonder how much of that art has been lost, and how many potentially legendary storytellers have become, because of technology, chartered accountants (thank god for Robyn!) But would I go back to the 0% literacy rate that was the rule before the printing press? Not on your life. I just want to keep it all, even the stuff that is supposedly "obsolete". I want to know EVERYTHING that new technology is going to cost me. 2) I was more trying to argue _against_ the Objectivist standpoint than _for_ a need-based system for distributing wealth. There are any number of principles that one could use to figure out who gets what, and all of them have problems. Here are what are probably ridiculously simplistic examples. I'm sure they could be tightened up, and I'm sure there all sorts of objections that you can raise to the specific circumstances that I describe, but nevertheless: As I was discussing with Jeme a couple weeks ago, there's the "last-hired, first-fired" principle, which is ostensibly race- and sex- blind, can be used to propagate racism and sexism. If people of different races have only been recently started to be hired for, say, senior management positions (because of discrimination or what have you), then the "race blind" practice of last-hired, first-fired will ensure that those people whose gains are so new will be hurt much more when the layoffs come. If one rewards by merit, well, suppose there's some gay man who works on at a construction site. He works as hard as anyone else, but suppose his co-workers are rednecks who won't work with him. His co-workers will have the advantage of being able to work as a team, while blackballing the him. If I'm a supervisor with some kind of "objective" metric for measuring productivity, clearly it is the rednecks who will benefit. My policy is "objective" (whoever does the best by my metric will benefit), but the results are not. But then, rewarding need is just as problematic. Take the situation of when women were first entering the workforce. The prevailing attitude was that women simply worked as a hobby, or for the luxuries one could get with a second income, and that men were the real breadwinners of families. Therefore, women were passed over time and time again, because the men were perceived as having more "need". I don't think that this is particularly just, either. These are just some examples that have been stewing around in my head for a while. I'm pretty sure I could come up with something analogous for just about any system you care to come up with, though. All of these "objective" criteria are just tools, and to quote Ani DiFranco by way of Dan Bern (not a big Ani fan, but...) "Every tool is a weapon if you hold it right." I don't have any amazing solutions here. Certainly none that are well developed enough to withstand the harsh desert sun of feg criticism. I think, though, that the key is not to come up with some better objective system. Given my belief in all of what I've just said, I'm a little dubious about the value (or even possibility) of objectivity. We are giants, these days. People today have incredible power, undreamed of by our ancestors. We can communicate with people anywhere on earth instantly. We can travel the distance Marco Polo traveled in his lifetime in 7 hours, with a layover in New Dehli. We live three times as long as most people ever have in human history. Inside the movies, we can literally shape reality. We, potentially, could erradicate every trace of life on the planet. Men have walked on the moon. MEN HAVE WALKED ON THE MOON! And with the exception of the last couple of examples, these miracles are commonplace! Can you IMAGINE how we would look to people who lived just 200 years ago, if they could see us? We're honest-to-fucking-goodness GODS, for crying out loud. In power, if not in wisdom. And not just in the mighty strokes that I list earlier in this paragraph. Now when we so much as twitch, the Earth shakes. It's simply my hope that, as giants, we look very carefully at what we're about to step on. Random chance does play a big role in our lives, true enough, and it's ridiculously difficult to perceive all of the consequences of all the little things that we do. If I hadn't looked slightly to my left one rainy afternoon last November, I wouldn't even know half of the people I consider beloved friends now. But given that we cannot possibly predict all of the consequences of what we do, it strikes me that when we act systematically (such as in setting up an "objective" means for reward) the potential havoc that can be wrought by those unforeseen consequences grows exponentially. Like a riveting machine on an assembly line that's ever so slightly "off"; the first rivet might not fail, but this machine hits every car that rolls out of the factory and it'll probably continue to deteriorate with every rivet it fastens. The consequences are generated every time we act on our "objective" principles, every time we apply the criteria, and they build up. But we're not machines. One of our abilities as human beings is to actually judge and investigate a situation, to perform an inquiry to really understand things. We're not locked into only viewing certain criteria, and then performing a simple boolean evaluation. It seems to me that the context has to fit in somewhere. *Sigh* Nuts, I'm sorry. That grew a little bit out of hand. I promise I'll shut up now. I'm spent, so do to this what you will. I hope that I've phrased things well this time around, because I'm not sure I have the energy to clarify or put up much of a concerted defense. At least that means that my contribution to the deluge is over. I promise. - -Michael Wolfe np: REM - Up ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 10 Feb 1999 20:36:35 EST From: MARKEEFE@aol.com Subject: Re: Yeesh! (maybe I need to hone in on this action?)
