Suicide by Writing (Short Story) - 11/21/2009 3:57:57 PM
I applaude your ex- or dis-sanity, It could never be defined as insanity since conventional sanity , for lack of an a priori principleis based on convention which is what nature depends on for lack intelligent guidance. It lets some light inside this box. I think that hope qand faith thrives in the field of omissions. Even our so called knowledge florishes there. You brough Cioran to mind.I Will read more with great interest. Could it be?... Nah, don't get excited Claudio!

Paul's Brass Balls (Short Story) - 7/20/2009 1:01:39 PM
I like the sense of place this conveys--where in New York do all the good people come from? There's a feeling that I could have been there, a few seats down the bar perhaps, but that, due to my trying to keep up with Paul and Senior without being noticed, that I would have had about the same quality of memories from the event that they had.

gawd alamighty, bro... i've laffed meself silly over these few and paltry if also descriptive... words o' your'n.
You know, Walter, I've been at both these sites, signed up as a 'writer', tee hee... but it's been awhile since even thinking of them. You've pulled history out of the barrel before it rolled away for good.
Irritates still that my poor learning efforts are 'out there' in his slimy magz...
Looking forward to the next installment. Thanks for the laughter this morning.

Great story David...and a great idea, using WhiteLace as a character. She lives on that way, as she lives on in our memories.

Reckless Credit Rating Agencies (Article) - 7/26/2009 4:42:08 AM
Good article, David…many truths. Many years ago the SEC and Bank regulators never would have allowed this mess to get started in the first placed. It’s not the fault of deregulation… It’s the fault of regulator being subjected to powerful corrupt political influences and powerful “business” interests. They used to view themselves as protectors of widows ‘and orphans ‘funds. And acted accordingly. So all of that worthless junk never would have reached the market, and if any of it did,, banks and pension funds would have been restricted from buying the junk During the debates I could tell right away that B .O. didn’t have the knowledge of qualifications for the job.. All of the simple and basic questions he didn’t have answers for (and there were many) he’d just brush them aside with…. “I agree with John on that.” When you hire an idiot to fix another idiot’s mess, you always end up with twice the mess.
Our Healthy Revolution (Article) - 7/24/2009 2:33:32 AM
Well written, David. But I must say...transparency in government? He is hiding everything he can from the American People with his "hurry up sign-don't worry about that small print". He is nothing more that a sneak theive liar. He is the only thing that is transparent in this government. Anybody with more than have a brain can see right through him. People are finially waking up and paying attention to the man behind that curtain...The Real Wizard of Odd.
Gothism Today (Article) - 6/5/2009 11:01:56 AM
Modern gothism has many faces. It is inspired by many things, alot of them born in. I have been into the Gothic vampire scene my entire life. I get ridiculed and insulted, but I either ignore it or find it amusing. While most subcultures have their look and trappings, many of them, particularly the religious community is judgemental and imputes sin into many places it should not be.
Me and my fellows dress differently, in my case victorian vampire style, and we enjoy things most people do not, such as halloween and hearses, creepy atmospheres, gothic music and many other things that most people consider abnormal. But to us, it's all just a world of fun and reality combined with make believe. We do not look for people to hurt or kill, we do not inflict damage or commit hate crimes, and we shun murderers and self proclaimed killer vampires with a vengeance.
You will find us in goth Clubs such as the one I frequent, dressed in our usual clothing dancing to loud music and having fun, regardless of sexuality or color (I am straight, bu I live and let live) not bothering anyone. We let people be themselves as opposed to shunning those who don't conform. For us it's a year around costume bash. As far as the attitudes, some goths do have angry and spiteful attitudes, but people like me are out for a good time and we ignore them. Most of those types are the rebellious teens who think mom and dad are squares. I am an older vampire style person, and among us there is maturity and less nagitivity.
Actually we are often some of the more fun people to deal with. As long as fat bald men with pants sagging too low in the back can walk down the street and think they are beautiful, we will see the beauty in our culture.

Equinox Fitness - Consumer Review (Article) - 4/25/2009 10:36:29 AM
I belong to the Woodland Hills Equinox and the gym is very clean and the front desk has always been very nice. I don't really know about the circumstances of her bad experience so I can't comment. I do think it should not be as expensive because it doesn't have a pool or basketball court, etc. If you stay over 2 hours there is a parking fee during the week.
Also I wouldn't mind having it a little more crowded by reducing the rate a little. Not too crowded but it's motivating to have others working out. I do think it's overpriced. Overall a very nice gym and worth checking out. I don't want to pick up any strange germs so I'm glad for the cleanliness.

The Last Refuge of Scoundrels (Article) - 4/18/2009 9:18:26 AM
I agree, people that murder Americans like you and me should be treated with kindness and respect. How dare they ask these people about the plans for their next attack. How uncivilized....How absolutely God awful Crude!!!! I'm glad our president apologized. However, I do critize him for forgetting to bow down to them.
The Last Refuge of Scoundrels (Article) - 4/18/2009 8:50:56 AM
I really like and admire President Obama as a force for good. But he has made a huge mistake here, an awful error of judgement. If it was too difficult to prosecute those responsible then they should at least have been dismissed from the service of all government agencies. The comparison with the primary defence of Germans (following orders) after WW2 is most apposite.
A very good write indeed.
More strength to sir.

SOROSIAN FILE: Liquidity (Article) - 2/14/2009 2:29:31 PM
A very interesting, and indepth article, David! I love the way you write! I'm diffinately not well appraised about banking and national economics, or exactly how the financial system works, (and although I understood only about half of what I read), I learned much and did appreciate that which I did understand! LOL! I will reread this article again, in order to clarify my thinking more. However, yep, I want liquidity in this spiritual desert, so I'm desparately praying for rain!

It's amazing ain't it, David. New York State Senator Chuck Shummer got it right. To Parraphrase... The American public are idiots. They don't mind a little stealing (Pork). He's right they are idiots, they voted for him and Obama didn't they.
1908 British Suffragettes (Article) - 2/7/2009 12:35:55 AM
Thank you for the article, David
I have created a link from your post to mine:
http://melbourneblogger.blogspot.com/
Why do you think that by 1908 the women's suffrage cause had progressed so slowly in Britain?
Australia and New Zealand had achieved the same goal years earlier! The vote was gained with some struggle; to be sure there were ups and downs in New Zealand until success finally arrived in 1893. In Australia women gained the vote in some states (South Australia 1894) earlier than others, and in federal elections in 1902.
In both countries, laregly filled with British citizens, no one was gaoled, no shops were burnt, no martyrs ran under horses and died.
all the best

Where Have All The Flowers Gone? (Article) - 11/15/2008 2:48:32 PM
I wonder where all the sixties people went? I can't fathom that many of them are now right wing evangelical Christians but they are. How they went from the point of knowledge to the point of fantasy and ignorance is beyond me. Non-violence has its limits but I also think that much more could be accomplished with diplomacy and offering significant help to correct the economic injustice in the world. Somehow the U.S. can find 700 billions in a few days to save themselves, but can't find a few billions to eradicate hunger in the world ( 3 billion a year all that is needed according to world food program) I am not suggesting that it is only the U.S. who ought to be doing this but I think you get my drift.

Quite an informative article, David! You've given me a broader grasp of our present market situation. I will be watching and reading what Mr. Soros has to say and is doing in the near future. Thank you!
SOROSIAN FILE: Market Fundamentalism (Article) - 11/1/2008 9:15:31 AM
Many people do not like change. The key is how disatisfied are they with the public rape of everything in this country by another fundamentalist, one who claims to speak and do for God. Who would ever have dreamed that with a balanced budget, the Dumbf*k could walk in with a manufactured win at the polls, and destroy the U.S. economy in 8 short years. We don't have to look for the enemies of America outside of America. They are doing their damage within.
Good article, David, as all yours are. You amaze.

What Hath God Wrought? (Poetry) - 3/11/2009 3:02:09 PM
Thanks for the comment and rewrite, Erin. I would pass it on to my dad (R.B.C. Walters), but he passed away last year. He polished his little poems for years and years. I told him the story about Jennifer way back. I just discovered that she did very well in California, and is happily married into one of the most prominent industrial families in the country! David
What Hath God Wrought? (Poetry) - 3/11/2009 12:37:55 AM
As an older poem, I have to think, David, it was/is passionate. Kinda like:
so divine
viewing it
can endure
in the city
to and fro
knows his ride
see the As
recollect
it
alas
California
Or, in a different format:
"Jennifer's ass,
a mortal man
might feel
living
for he
always knows
for he takes over
or steals the Ass.
From the New Collection,
of having to live it.
And, like an old ass, re-science recurves.
