both reflects and encourages sloppy thinking."
Furthermore,
why would they want people to use less of their product? If they
want to reduce their sales, then they have an even more puzzling problem
than poor taste (whatever) or mathematical gibberish. I'm not sure
just what kinds of sloppy things they might be doing in either the boardroom
or the bathroom (don't want to know) but sloppy thinking is probably among
them.![10x5 Page Background GIF Image](../../Images/10x5_Page_Background.gif) ![Gun](../../Images/Gun.gif) Be the Revolution Sam Aurelius Milam III

The
difference between one government and another, or even between one form
of government and another, is a difference in degree, and not a difference
in kind. All governments control people. All governments do
so by force. It necessarily follows that all governments, of whatever
style or form, are evil.

cannot buy the Revolution. You cannot make the Revolution.
You can only be the Revolution. It is in your spirit, or it is nowhere.from The Dispossessed, 1974 by Ursula K. LeGuin | |
![5x5 Page Backgound GIF Image](../../Images/5x5_Page_Background.gif)
Any
traditional revolution inherently contains the seeds of its own inevitable
failure. That's true because it's necessary for any traditional revolution
to be centrally organized and directed. Thus, a revolutionary movement
isn't much different from a government. Every such revolution that
has ever succeeded has simultaneously failed because it succeeded only
in replacing one bad government with another bad government.
The
only kind of revolution that has any legitimacy at all, and any hope at
all of ever accomplishing anything useful, is a revolution within an individual,
within his own mind. A man can't buy the revolution, or make the
revolution. He can only be the revolution.
Be
the revolution.![10x5 Page Background GIF Image](../../Images/10x5_Page_Background.gif) ![Gun](../../Images/Gun.gif) Stray Thoughts Sam Aurelius Milam III There
is such a thing as a stupid question.
A
democracy is unsustainable unless the people outgun the authorities.
When
the toleration of diversity becomes mandatory, then that requirement is,
itself, a form of intolerance.![10x5 Page Background GIF Image](../../Images/10x5_Page_Background.gif) ![Gun](../../Images/Gun.gif) Eugenics au Naturel Sam Aurelius Milam III
I
suspect that the history of our species consists of a series of high-tech
societies each of which, after its collapse, was followed by a dark era
of primitive survival. I believe that such dark times are necessary
for the health of our species because they cleanse our genome in a way
that we, ourselves, lack the wisdom to do, even when we have the ability.
It also seems to me that we're fast approaching another such dark interval
and that we, as a species, are very much in need of it.![10x5 Page Background GIF Image](../../Images/10x5_Page_Background.gif) ![Gun](../../Images/Gun.gif) Better Use Sam Aurelius Milam III
Some
time ago, in a movie called Wonder Boys, on the LAFF channel, I
saw a new low in the despicable practice of censorship. After the
first few minutes, I turned it off because the censorship was intolerable.
What did they censor? A woman's boobs? The sex organs on a
Greek statue? A baby's butt, like on America's Funniest Home Videos?
No. Every time professor Tripp put a marijuana cigarette in his mouth,
they blurred the view of it. I suggest that the censors should all
go to former war zones and remove unexploded land mines. That would
be a much better use of their time.![10x5 Page Background GIF Image](../../Images/10x5_Page_Background.gif) ![Gun](../../Images/Gun.gif) The Adventures of the Blondes As Retold by Sam Aurelius Milam III
Two
blondes were walking along a railroad. One of them complained, "Damn,
I'm sure tired of these short steps!" The other blonde nodded her
head in agreement but replied, "Yeah, but I'm even more tired of these
low handrails!"
After
a while, a train was coming. The blondes ran as fast as they could,
even skipping steps and neglecting to hold the handrails. One of
them panicked and headed off in a different direction. The other
one shrieked at her, "No! Don't run out into that plowed ground!
It'll catch you there for sure!"![10x5 Page Background GIF Image](../../Images/10x5_Page_Background.gif) ![Gun](../../Images/Gun.gif) Funds Sam Aurelius Milam III
My
only predicable cash flow ended in July of 2016. Since then, I've
mostly been using occasional contributions, plus what I'd previously saved,
which is now mostly gone. Even though I'm 74 years old and I'm being
stingy with my funds, it seems likely that I'm going to outlive them.
If I do, then it's going to be difficult for me to pay for things, including
the publication of this newsletter and the maintenance of my websites and
domain names. Things like socks, hand soap, and light bulbs also
come to mind. So, donations are welcome. Maybe somebody might
even buy something from the Moonlight Flea Market. Please
remember that I can't cash checks or money orders. Cash is best.![10x5 Page Background GIF Image](../../Images/10x5_Page_Background.gif) ![Gun](../../Images/Gun.gif)
