reentment

Do you hate your name as much as I hate mine? I can't stand to see it or hear it pronounced. I can't look in a mirror either. What is wrong with religious people? The world is bloated with fanaticism. 91.8 per cent of this country believes in god and more than 75 per cent think their family is going to heaven. Most people believe that god is wrathful. Just look at any country and you'll find people thinking their religion is the only true one. So much for the enlightenment; you'd think that simple comparison - not to mention the quantity of evil in the world - would tell them something's wrong. Oh I forgot to mention I got trounced on nettime by someone from the linguistics establish and he made sure everyone knew he was from the establishment! And was grateful to know famous people! And that made his theories right! His theories were bloody cog sci and structural stuff all over again. He didn't understand my point at all. But I think he might be teaching! He's getting paid! And he's dead wrong! What passes for theory alas doesn't hold beneath the glass. I'd write "under" which is more accurate but the scansion is off. I'm at the Pittburgh airport and have spent five minutes not worried about going homeless. The back of my head has this "hard" feeling. I read Gurdjieff on the plane: good grief! His fictions sound like Olaf Stapleton and maybe both owe something to theosophy. Of course they're correct; they'd have to be. But you and I, we're not. http://www.asondheim.org/air24.jpg This is a stupid piece.
