"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

wherein he blogs

A Benediction from the Pope

03.18.02

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'.

I first heard about Bruce Sterling about 6 years ago when reading a collection by Timothy Leary. Leary interviews William Gibson, and in that interview Gibson sez: "Bruce Sterling is my favorite science fiction writer." Well, naturally, I had to go and seek him out . . .

THIS IS NOT WHAT DEMOCRACY LOOKS LIKE

How the Bush Nearly Stole Florida - Volume 1

How the Bush Nearly Stole Florida - Volume 2

(flash)

. . . how he "nearly" stole Florida? And yet he doesn't recognize the elections of Zimbabwe . . . 'irony detectors' shatter all over the globe . . .

It is important to remember the very foundation of the current man 'helming' the White House, especially what with the murders that ensue . . .

Context, baby, context.

Make sure you check out this exhaustive list of "Anti-Bush" links as well. Completely necessary for those of us who actually value DEMOCRACY . . .

Speaking of democracy . . .

I remember hearing a theory once about the tallest building in town. 2 historical accounts were given--at one time, in one place, nothing in town could be built which was taller than the church (and I don't remember what the other building type was) . . . in contrast to today, wherein the highest building, in every city, is a symbol of the corporation, and an imposing one at that--giving no doubt as to who rules the town (and the world?) . . .

I propose we make a draft of legislation which will make it illegal, by law, to build any building in any town, all across the USA, which will be higher than that town's Hall of Democracy.

I am most interested in the concept of democracy, and want to create a side web page (static, not a blog) entirely devoted to that very subject, but more importantly (specifically) about: Revolutionizing Democracy in America.

I beseech all Harbingers to help, if they feel so inspired, and the general public, too: How do you think we can Revolutionize Democracy in America?

Harbingers may feel free to blog it, and the general worldwide audience is wholeheartedly invited to pitch in here.

So the next time you criticize American democracy and some lunkhead sneers: "So what do you suggest?" you can tell them where to go!

I would like to take this oppurtunity to most vociferously thank all of the wonderful people who agreed (at least tentatively) to participate in American Samizdat. Since on the Samizdat they are listed in order of acceptance of invite, I will reverse the order here to give you the freshest first. I thank: L Johnson of Interesting Monstah, Green Flash of Sassafrass, Ray Davis of Bellona Times, Pagan Moss of SLA, Robert Sieracki of The Hollow Times, Bob Morris of Poli-Zeros, David Williams of Portage, Thorizine (formerly) of Jim Hightower's "Chat and Chew" Show, Post-Atomic, Richard Kahn of the Vegan Blog: The (Eco) Logical Weblog, Drat Fink, Graham Freeman of Virulent Memes, Eldee of Ha Ha No Serious and Herd of Cows, Igor Boog of Shou?, Jason Lubyk of New World Disorder, Turbulent Velvet of UFO Breakfast, Lia Bulaong of Cheesedip, Mrs. Butterwurst of the Magnificent Melting Object, Chris Eby of Insurgent, Cynthia Korzekwa of Ikastikos, Kendall Clark of Monkeyfist, Gordon Coale, Stack of the Viridian Blog, Tony Tross of Abuddhas Memes, Brian Lamb of Blowback & Scribbler, Jim Higgins of Higgy's Page, Steven Baum of Ethel the Blog, Judith Lewis of RandomWalks & the LA Weekly, Simcoe, Steve L. of Riley Dog, Craig Jensen of BookNotes, Wylie Sypher of GeeGaw. Tiffany Tomkinson, Dirk Hine of Subterranean Notes, Evan Daze of the Daze Reader, Jerry Westerby of the Westerby Report, William Fields, Eliot Gelwan of Follow Me Here, Sal Salasin of RealPoetik, JP of Dumbmonkey, Mr. Planet of Infohazard, Mark Woods of Wood's Lot, Adam Rice of RandomWalks, Al Jensen of The Web Today, Jimwich, Brooke Biggs of BitterShack and the Bush Files, Andrew Abb of gmtPlus9, Fred Pyen of Metascene, and Kirsten Anderson of Roq la Rue & Thumbmonkey!

Would you just look at that list!?

"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*"
--SpankThePlanet
