Sometimes I don't receive an answer to my request to publish a letter and I don't know how to interpret it. So I've decided to simplify things and not oblige readers to answer. WM

Re: "Pondering Evolution" (April 96 issue)

While I disagree somewhat about whether we have some built-in defense against ageing, I agree with your view that creative and "high" experiences have anti-ageing properties. Just compare the vitality of old couch potatoes with the vitality of old artists!

Have fun, and keep up the good work!

Re: Vagabond

Bill,
Thanks for the well constructed web site and for the cyberpub Vagabond. I like your style, I like your content (in general). I quoted (with credit to you and Vagabond) your "Indos" article on the Science-Medicine-Technology list (maybe a bit out of context - but I included all of it).

Where are you located? I'm in Lotusland, on southern Vancouver Island.

Bonne chance, Don Maroc

I'm at your antipode -- Toronto. It certainly has its merits but could never claim to be a natural paradise, 'Lotusland," how poetic. Felicitations! WM


Re: Jews (September 95 issue)

I am not a hater. I am, however, tired of the timeless racism of self-importance Jews have exercised. What make "jews" so important, as if they formed the entire planet and all it's cultures. Jews irritate the hell out of people to the point they go mad with anger. Germans, Poles, Russians, etc etc simply want their own country for their own kind. It's not right that "jews" seem to inhabit and *claim* the spotlight in every country. Find a country, stay there, and then make claims to fame.

My observation

Patrick 103357.3375@CompuServe.COM

Neither am I (a hater). You may be misinformed; Jews didn't conquer their way to "Germany, Poland, Russia, etc etc." but were invited by the rulers. Confined to ghettoes or not, the Jews spread commerce and new crafts throughout Europe as it was passing from Antiquity to the Middle Ages. Turks, Hungarians, Bulgars, Estonians, Finns, came to Europe much later than Jews and were accepted because they came with sword and fire. Gypsies came to Europe much after the Jews and were not accepted because, like Jews, they were weak. WM


Re: Other

why is it that it is impossible for me to be ascendant without witnessing the falls of those around me? or are they really falling at all? do they simply appear to fall because i am rising and they are static? or, for that matter, am i really ascendant at all? perhaps they all fall and i, a static observer, am led to believe that i am rising when its all really a trick of perspective? regardless, i kind of like it here. its like i had a big bowl of god for breakfast this morning, and, of course, you are what you eat. everything is right there...i own it all. but only because i don't want any of it. if i reached for it, i could no longer have it, but even perceived control is enough to prevent the onset of helplessness. and i perceive more control now than is humanly possible. i'm riding a wave of self that's practically a megalomaniacal tsunami. but that's enough about me. what about you:

these things happen. sorry about all this 'i'm kick ass' crap but i was part of something pretty cool and until i realize that that's all i was (a part) i'm going to be happy and self-righteous.

virile veracity

i'll be your mirror
