in this world, as one

last night an old friend of mine called from texas to tell me how his basic training was going, and how he is so eagerly waiting to get into iraq. once i asked why, he retorted with, "because i want to kill those iraqi bastards. they will pay for what they did to our country. i won't be satisfied until i've killed as many as possible

"Self destructive man feels completely alienated, utterly alone. He's an outsider to the human community. He thinks to himself, "I must be insane." What he fails to realize is that, society has just as he does, a vested interest in considerable loses, in contastrophies. These wars, famines, floods, and quakes meet well defined needs. Man wants chaos. In fact, he's gotta have it. Depression, strife, riots, murder ... all this dread. We're irresistably drawn to this orgiastic state created out of death and destruction. It's in all of us. We revel in it. Sure the media has tried to put a sad face on these things. Pain among the great human tragedies. We all know the function of the media has never been to elimiate the evils of the world. They're job is to persuade us to accept those evils and get use to living with them. The powers of B want us to be passive observors. And they haven't given us any other options outside the occassional, purely symbolic, participatory act of voting. You want the puppet on the right, or the puppet on the left? I feel as if the time has come to project my own inadequacies and dissatsifaction to the sociopolitical and scientific schemes. The time has come to let my own voice be heard."
