"I deplore brutality," he said. "It's not efficient. On the other hand, prolonged mistreatment, short of physical violence, gives rise, when skillfully applied, to anxiety and a special feeling of guilt. A few rules or rather guiding principles are to be borne in mind. The subject must not realize that the mistreatment is a deliberate attack of an anti-human enemy on his personal identity. He must be made to feel that he deserves any treatment he receives because there is something (never specified) horribly wrong with him. The naked need of the control addicts must be decently covered by an arbitrary and intricate bureaucracy so that the subject cannot contact his enemy direct."

-- William S. Burroughs, via Naked Lunch

The American Drawings of John White 1577 - 1590

"It was on his August 1590 return voyage when he found the colony mysteriously deserted and the word 'CROATOAN' carved in a tree on the island, the meaning of which has never been ascertained."

Fighting the Big Book Chains

" . . . what's going on now in book retailing is microcosmic of what's going on in the greater society.

"You probably haven't heard about it, though (which is microcosmic of mainstream media coverage of conglomerate America, but that's another column -- although I must point out the irony that the plaintiff in the case is the brother of the late CBS newsman Charles Kuralt). But anyway, in brief: Walter Kuralt, owner of a bankrupt mini-chain called Intimate Bookshops, is suing Borders and Barnes & Noble for illegal activities -- such as demanding secret discounts from publishers -- that gave them an unfair advantage in the marketplace.

"Sound familiar? Well, it didn't get much coverage either, but in another case last year, the American Booksellers Association and 26 independent bookstores sued the chains for the same thing."


Here is Walter Kuralt's website, titled: "Allegations and Proposed Reform: by Wallace H. Kuralt, Owner of the Famous, 40-Year Old, But Now-Failed Bookstore Chain," subtitled: "A NATIONAL DISASTER: THE WAL-MARTS AND MEGA-MALLS IN AMERICA, THE DAMAGES CAUSED BY THEM AND THE FACTORS USED BY THEM TO DISPEL COMPETITION, WITH APPROACHES TO SOLUTIONS."

How can I join this fight? I detest Borders and Barnes & Noble. Recently they helped inflict a new casualty among the independent bookstore community of Seattle: Beatty Books, formerly on Third a block north of the Bon. Beatty Books was my favorite bookstore in Seattle; I grieve.

Original source of above-mentioned article Fighting the Big Book Chains: Moby Lives, also recommended.

Sorry, all sold out.

Marijuana's Impact on Intelligence

Less than 5 joints a week gives most boost to smarts, new test says. Carl Sagan and Richard Feynman are way ahead of ya . . . I recommend a chronic intake of choline cocktail for those who smoke over 5 joints a week to better your score . . .

Brendan Sexton II: What's Wrong With Black Hawk Down

"The film Black Hawk Down paints the Somali people as wild savages. Elvis Mitchell, who reviewed the film for the New York Times when it opened in December, wrote: 'The lack of characterization converts the Somalis into a pack of snarling dark-skinned beasts--intended or not, it reeks of glumly staged racism.'

"I think that's an accurate description."

"Ye fucking gods!! Are you nuts!? Those Jesuit bastards will eat you alive!"
--Hunter S. Thompson, to me, circa '93

"Man oh man, 'Dr. Menlo.' Now there's an alternative blog. Kindness to animals, Seattle anarchists, nudism galore, SubGenius, anti-Bush black propaganda, jeez louise, Doc, that thing sure is happenin'."
--Bruce Sterling, Schism Matrix

"Dr. Menlo is one smart guy, with a sharp eye for images sacred, profane, and in between. Sometimes the doctor riffs on them, sometimes he leaves you to connect the dots."
-- Killing the Buddha

"Dr. Menlo is weblog-ilicious!"
--Fred Pyen, Metascene

"Who do you trust? I trust Dr. Menlo."
--Andrew Abb, gmtPlus9

"Dr. Menlo's links are roadmap of progressive thinking. This site lives somewhere near the western spiral arm of the sensible part of the web. Plenty of sex to be found here."
--fucker.net

"Intense blog, Doctor!"
--Jeffrey Zeldman

"Read Dr. Menlo! Support Dr. Menlo! Long Live Dr. Menlo!"
--Craig Jensen, BookNotes

"Dr. Menlo is a powerful and idiosyncratic voice."
--Eliot Gelwan, Follow Me Here

"Dr Menlo's site deserves your attension. His site opened my eyes to the still-trying-to-be-defined possibilites of blogging, and it's a beautiful thing to behold, like a cultural hub awash on the sea of information. It looks cool too, his style a breathe of fresh air. His girlfriend, Pagan Moss, of the Sensual Liberation Army, is also cool. Her blog Peep Show Stories documents her life working in the Sex Industry. Very inciteful. There's nothing more sexy than a woman who is completely comfortable with her sexuality. *meow*"
