They don't do a lot for the <B>Fear</B>, however, and much as I'd like to encourage their propagation, they're not for everyone. So LI has my sympathy.Arkadyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05838423612315386095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3077210.post-14631485603415061332007-03-11T21:04:00.000+01:002007-03-11T21:04:00.000+01:00Mistah Scrugg, you have the hardihood of the seaso...Mistah Scrugg, you have the hardihood of the seasoned parasitologist. That admirable clinical coldness. But not LI! I want to hide from these people. If they are the Deciders of tomorrow, tomorrow isn't going to look very bright for yours truly. It is, after all, all about me me me - as in, me not swimming in a nation flooded by blood and shit as it sinks down a hole in the side of the world. I know, my dreams are too ambitious, but I figure, hell, we reduce the wars to one a decade, the Ciolis of this world find out that when the business plan involves the propensity of the clients to lynch random victims, the business collapses and buries them in the ruins, and the ersatz outrage industry goes into recession - simple baby steps towards a better world!<BR/><BR/>If not - couldn't we at least offshore the manufacture of outrage? I'd be oh so happy to get outraged at the bigoted comments of Bollywood debutantes. That's what I want to be outraged by!Roger Gathmannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11257400843748041639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3077210.post-48980772518793493152007-03-11T15:06:00.000+01:002007-03-11T15:06:00.000+01:00I'm fascinated by the creepy yuppie and his slickl...I'm fascinated by the creepy yuppie and his slickly stupid, third year sophist partner. They're well adapted to cretin capitalism, Roger, with a jump start on degradation, harassment and destroying value. These are the lesser Deciders of tomorrow! I predict the third year sophist will find work with the DLC and eventually quarrel with the creepy yuppie, who will self-acutalize as campaign money bundler for the Republicans.Arkadyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05838423612315386095noreply@blogger.com
