Tartar annex

TARTAR ANNEX 071001 2009 This is for extra stuff from my using the computers of other people, then sent over to here.

2133 I USE TARTAR 2 AND TARTAR 3 SIMILARLY. (and of course, TARTAR)

Tartar Annex 051001 2145 This is because I am at the home of other people and their computer. Assorted thoughts. Hypocrisy Game; it goes both ways, like doctors who have taken the Hypocratic oath, we agree to the Hypocitic Oath. So I was waiting for a bus today and someone from England chatted a bit and the bus arrived and we got on and altho we sat across from each other we both knew it was not necessary to continue talking, and even when I got off (first) and waved, he didn’t acknowledge, so it was like it was not necessary to maintain a play of hypocrisy of courtesy and pretended interest --- cool..

Joke: Thinks someone else’s plate of Chinese food is ashtray…

Not finishing piece of Camembert cheese, I put it in my pocket, and unwrapped it at party and ate it with spoon, while others vomitted.

2243 True: Some guy’s wife reminded him in front of the potential hearers to tell the gfrbli joke (gfrbli being the punchline).

2249 CNN’s Mike Betcher (sp?) interviewed suicide bomber types in July 2001 --- assuming it was broadcast then (rebroadcast repeatedly now) could that have encouraged the perpetrators etc?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2254 In dealing with intransigent 12 year olds: absolutely relaxed and about to have fun. (that none of their attacks have any chance.)

2257 People who don’t know anything don’t want to believe that there is anything to know.

2257 If you have a religion that is based on obedience, then it cannot fit in to the 21st Century. Some attitudes simply must be abandoned, if one wants to participate, and if not participating, don’t complain that you’re left behind --- because it is indeed actually BEHIND: there is such a thing as progress and improvement, even tho we have to be careful about it. The main point is to think independently of one’s ancesters --- and this cannot be achieved by early teens, and it is precisely to early teens that some establishments appeal --- giving them the opiate that they can know all they need by age fifteen. (Juvenile Mullah Delinquents.)

2308 I believe it was after 1963 that Robert Kennedy said (quoting Shaksper) "The past is prologue" --- did he mean he would be killed also? Anyway, the past is not prologue.

2310 Usually I made a knocking sound three times in a process, but once after twice I stopped, being admonished maybe the infant would be awakened --- but the baby promptly awoke and yelled. Months later, when the baby could talk, she explained she had been alarmed at the incompletion of the normal sequence.

2317 Some people are not charming.

2332 Events at home and abroad do not wait on the electoral rhythm of USA --- wecannot play the world according to scenarios written in Hollywood or on Broadway, with dramatic form based on electoral schemes to ride ebb and flow of electorate’s moods, as per media games and silliness, After Gulf War, the media decided President Bush should not concentrate so much any more on international affairs --- but just then Bosnia etc required our immediate attention (partly of course because the bad guys knew USA was preoccupied etc.). Of course even without Gulf War, President Bush would have done nothing domestically --- Saddam was his excuse for Christmas in the dessert, escaping his (self-confessed) lack of vision by playing with electric-trains ala Lawrence of Arabia (no fun in the woods of Bosnia).

USA also has to learn how to save its honor by effectively and efficiently stopping civil wars, instead of fleeing them (e g Ruanda-Burundi) --- and what does a war vs terrorism mean, actually? Anyway, USA cannot say, well we have had enough war this year, let’s play tennis instead. So, what about the so-called alliance --- will it consult daily like Nelson’s captains? We all must realize that war is normal, like policing the streets and slums --- people are naturally criminal, and also make bad laws which are also criminal. And in the meantime there is a long list of troubles to be corrected, either by war or other means. Politics is war by other means. Democracy substitutes the ballot for the sword, but the substance is still war: people die or live as consequence of political action. Democracy is the manipulation of group A by groups B and C contesting for support by group A. Anything is fair in war and politics. The word right is as absurd as the word fair --- might does not make right, since there is no right. might is what is actual. The test is always , “What is reasonable?” --- intervention is not always proper or possible, and the word “always” is best avoided. But by taking the responsibility openly, we avoid letting Bad Henry Kissinger covertly stab Chile while we all pretend that we do not interfere in other nations´ affairs. 2358 The first thing a lawyer needs is not to blush.

2359 Maybe that missing girl friend of that congressman is lost in World Trade Center.

061001 0002 As in the ancient Crusades, maybe we will have culture exchange due to new combat vs extreme Islam. Altho Taliban presumably detest "Mad TV", while I adore it, there is a lot about USA (not to mention other parts of what we euphemistically call "The West") which I detest (of course you are free to scoffingly point out that I am an expatriate). The issues I am upset about cost lives, and I figure if some Islamics (not the nutters) can help correct some, that’s fine by me. And even in esthetics merely, there is a coming together of art and morality, e g, I remember a picture a couple decades back, of Cairo, part of, with a mosque plagued by Coca Cola ads etc, making an unholy mess of the skyline. Indeed, it has become intrinsic to USA culture to satirize its ugliness beautifully in great art, whether paintings, tv, stage theater, literature-books, etc. I note the contrast between art from the top and art from underneith. Also from the event itself USA can learn morality --- e g honesty: How come people did not know what to do in the emergency? Some decided to wait for rescue, and got crushed for their faithfulness to what they may have seen on Discovery TV. But the entire failure of security bespeaks a foul amorality of anti-responsibility; this is exascerbated by inter-generational distrust in a swarming democracy coddling outdated ignorant nostrums as legal requirements, so the very definition of responsibility is gone by the board. Americans live in a welter of ignorant armies clashing by media and awash in crooked ballots. If recent horrors can be capitalized on, to drastically change our entire morality, in the direction of honesty, the ruin of 20,000 lives would be a fair price --- but the bets are definitely against. So in that perspective, the cloud of human dust of September 11, 2001 will be obscenely, business as usual --- and that will be the real tragedy. In the meantime, in the scope of recent USA history, the disasters of September 11, 2001 are far from top: the worst was the assassination of President Kennedy, which eventually cost far more lives; and next comes the collapse of USA Supreme Court in the 2000 Presidential Election. And will Usurper Bush be instrumental in destroying Planet Earth as fit place for self-respecting humans? --- he who said the economy of USA is more important than the ecology of Planet Earth? Now there’s a statement deserving the wrath of the God-fearing!!!!!!!!!!!!

061001 0031 It seems to me that buildings like World Trade Center are like aircraft carriers and need to be protected by the equivalent of destroyers: place rod-like towers around them so “ incoming” can be blocked; various devices could be included, including evacuation slides. Ah yes , that would mean telling the truth about risk. There could even be ordinary spiral fire-escape steps all the way 101 stories. And radar with computer imaged guns to shoot down approaching planes --- but this would mean pacing facts. Of course the 202 stories could be spread around the coast of New York Harbor and Brooklyn, or New Jersey, or Bronx, even (helping keep the Yankees in the Bronx). By the way, will the war vs terrorism aid the war against crime?!

0036 In 1950 no one would have bought cars with seat-belts. How many people could have been saved by proper safety precautions through the years, even only in that one dimension? Maybe in a few decades air travel will be improved by acceptance that there is risk to be overcome by application of reasonable precaution, vs sheeplike herding to see Gramma at Christmas? And of course it has to be everyone all at once; no one wants to have extra Christmases at another date, so as to spread out the crowded skies --- but maybe now (if folks do not next year all pile into planes to make up for staying home now) the skies will be less crowded for some mysterious reason vaguely attributable to Laura Palmer’s father (or Bob). And where are the new radars for airports?

0045 And why do people insist on risking their lives ( I have been saying these things for decades, and maybe now people will pay attention (the largest number is posterity --- the lives depending in the infinite future upon improvements necessary) ) to attend weddings and funerals?????!!!!! And if there is a divorce after a wedding with guests crashing, do they get their lost lives back?

0049 Ah yes, how many lives could have been saved if President Reagan had been prompt in dealing with the epidemic of AIDS? And how many are lost due to bigotry denying AIDS everywhere? Need I mention deaths due to Charlton Heston (a terrorist God-father if ever there was one). I suggest that Washington be assigned the task of listing all deaths and how they occur (and all maimings) in a regular periodical --- then maybe jerks like Briant Gumble would not ask such an innane question as, "Is Bosnia worth one American life?"

0056 But to get a handle on crime we simply must (sine qua non) have universal fingerprinting ( and better also blood typing and DNA-printing, altho that would be even more controversial). Actually, as it is now, with fingerprinting only of arrested people, or convicted folks, the law is against human rights, as it singles out a class of people for stigma --- what is the principle that allows that? The law favors certain types (or pretends to) over others: if you have been convicted of any crime you are fingerprinted, but that could happen to anyone, although some people assume it only happens to slum-dwellers as opposed to the secure in bourgeois-land --- but that is a foolish conceit. Stigma is indeed NOT the best way to discourage continuation in crime; it inspires loyalty with the fellow stigmatized. Ah yes, and contempt toward the fools who stigmatize such fine fellows as oneself. On the other hand, by flatly establishing universal fingerprinting, we accept that (quite apart from benefit re identification in emergencies) anyone is capable of illegal actions, and should monitor oneself with that awareness. And by the way, would China depend less on executions if it had reasonable law-enforcement, including modern forensics? All this obviouly would be part of any reasonable policy for control of illegal aliens, if we honestly wanted one.

111 There is a lot to learn about simple honesty.

112 How about a memorial event dropping thousands of lightbulbs from a high place to smash?

0114 In the meantime Norwegians are plagued by their city-mouse vs country-mouse problem, v v the illicit drug problem; the attitude is that if you were a good ignorant Christian wolf-killer like us in the country-side, you would not get addicted or die of overdose.

118 I believe that during the time of bombs etc v v Ireland, more people died from drunk driving than political violence.

121 One of our main enemies is sanctimoniousness.

0121 Maybe Usurper is waiting until November 2, just after Halloween; imagine him at door of house marked Taliban, saying "Trick or treat!".

0124 In a society with polygamy, the only way a young man can get a wife is by martyrdom; how about a charity, in Islamic lands, "Donate one of your extra wives to charity" --- sort of a flea market, clean out your harem --- or, from your harem to my harem --- or give her to the salvation harem. I suppose that female martyrs get seven virgin hunks.

128 Consider that polygamy did not originate in Islam: so it is likely that what Islam offered was precisely this way to get female company, in societies where there was no other way --- sort of like the sabbath (Jehovah and Allah give you a day off each week)(besides the book to escape into when relatives ask you to do the dishes).

0140 Need I mention the tobacco industry (as terrorists)? Or USA which supports it?

142 I will be discussing the notion called "communion".

143 Without a well tempered clavier, would J S Bach have produced that music anyway?

0154 About these new upcoming cruise ships that are really towns of ten thousand people, will they re-live all of human history, since they are a new dimension of social existence? --- I mean with witch-hunts and all? And wars and invasions? And new religions? Yup, that’s it: new religions, on the briny. Money to be mad selling sacred tridents, what?

157 How about a king who goes to book stores and buys books and brings them home and has his slaves read them.

158 Re-reading the opening of "The Dream of the Red Chamber", I notice yet again the silliness of art theory and the pretensions of semioticists who seem oblivious to the ancient ubiquitousness of what they like to pretend to have discovered. But I am grateful for their popularizing of notions that aid art like "Mad TV".

206 I am grateful to Richard Burgin for signaling to Charles Munch not to glare at me for being late to a concert.

207 Indeed, I am also grateful to Sara Pinkerton (also known as Miss K), who encouraged my mother (the nut Beedee) to give me classical music education as child.

210 It is naughty to be too naughty against the naughty.

211 I notice some joy at any discomforture of USA, for example re possible capture of soldiers in Afghanistan, on SKY NEWS TV. But also BBC TV crap : for example William Horsely: "America, which has always been so assured about the future, now faces an uncertain future". But this is the usual resentment in Britain due to their loss of empire, eager to use the silly word "humiliation" v v USA, as if they were back in school relishing boys and girls being caned by their perverse "betters". There is something sick about the Brits. I think it’s because their mothers are virgins. In fact they have an airline which can only be used by people who have never experienced sexual intercourse.

232 Some ass said we would keep making superskyscrapers because we can and because we want to leave monuments. Crock of shit.

0234 The attitude re tobacco and the blindness re airline security are one --- it won’t happen to oneself: notice the statistical nostrum, that the chance of your crashing in a plane are so slight as to be negligable; I am appalled that seemingly educated people fall for that crap: statistics describes the behavior of groups of individuals, NOT each individual --- in other words, the establishment describes YOU as part of a group, whereas no intelligent reasonable person describes himself or herself or the individuals he or she cares particularly about as part of a group; yet the smoke and mirrors seduces folks into feeling ego-centric if they do not accept being described as part of a group, while at the same time fooling themselves by the ego-centric palliative that when the planes crash neither oneself nor one’s loved ones will be on them --- the victims will be only anonymous statistical abstractions, accomodated by the establishment which defines SECURITY.
