Re:  Revolution #9

It seems to me that whenever the White Album (the one just labeled "The
Beatles"), "Revolution #9" is the only song that is skipped over.  That's
the only Beatles song I will not listen to at night (it's too weird), but
I like listening to it with headphones (the words "number nine...number
nine..." go from left to right and back again).

  I'm just giving this a straight answer because Tushar can't very well
do so! Tushar is no more "logical" and "questioning" than the rest of us.
He just has an innate sense of the checks and balances needed to stave off
the implosion of the universe. That is, every cute and whimsical piece of
delightful nonsense, every wonderful poetical flight of fancy, every
profound reflection on existence, every simple but dignified statement of
belief, calls for a moronic braying, a cold stare, an indifferent mumbling,
an uncomprehending yawn, if we are not to sink helplessly into a morass of
wonderful poetical heroic dignified convictions.

I have a 40 gallon saltwater aquarium.  Fish-only aren't that much
more expensive than freshwater.  The elaborate mini-reef setups can
easily cost over a thousand bucks.

The biggest pain for me is the water itself.  You'd think that
living 2 miles from the ocean would make things easier but it
doesn't.  The ocean water is too polluted for aquarium use (and
some would claim too polluted for swimming, too).  I make
artificial salt water using commercially available mixes.  LA
drinking water is sufficiently bad that I used distilled/reverse
osmosis water.  I end up paying about $7/month for water I should
be able to scoop up down the street.

To which "Square" were you referring, BTW?

I think we've gotten a bit away from the initial stimulus, which was a
comment that there was less to fear from the loony left than from the loony
right.  

The issue of which one is currently in power is not relevant to that
hypothesis: one doesn't cure the tyrrany of one loonyness by putting the
other loonys in their stead.

I still believe that I personally (and probably many of the rest of you) am
equally in jeapordy no matter which brand of loonys gets to be in charge:
my only hope is for the ever-shifting "center/moderate" to be tolerant
enough to include me.  

And no, tony, the spectrum of allowable political discourse in the US is
not narrow, no matter what Chomsky said.  *Discourse* isn't the same as
rock-throwing and riot.

    Think of it as a lantern, Doris.  It illuminates the darkness,
    sort of, but only right in front of you.  Nothing is really any
    clearer.  And then you are moving too, with the lantern, so that
    what was barely visible vanishes again into the darkness with
    every step you take.

    Seems to me the only answer is total daylight.

Would it surprise anyone to learn that I was not only a Girl Scout, but
also a GS leader?  I was even (technically) a Boy Scout for a year, as
member of my son's Cub Scout troop's Board of Something-or-others.

Is that a slight tone of reproach?  It was a helpful suggestion, not
a criticism.  They have all these speeches up for ftp, and suggest that
people find the appropriate speech by reading the index - I thought a
gopher search might be helpful, that's all.
