what is the cure for pain?

Coffee. Gets rid of my headaches.
thunderbolts:
I wish I had a good answer for you, I guess I've just learned to live with it the way a person learns to live with a physical disability. I have cut myself off from anyone close or potentially close to me over the last few years as much as possible and just spend as much time as I can alone. This probably isn't the solution for most people but I find that I am mostly at peace these days.

bellyjack:
I watched it in the moment as well, and then again only a few months ago - don't remember the connection why, but watching Zappa slay these wildebeest again gives me the sense that all may not be lost .

SPOILERS! (Click to view)
Started then to transcribe what I thought was a particularly prescient bit of dialog, and finished it this evening.

Lofton: Does the government have any purpose, Frank? (talkover) What? What is it?
Zappa: (Yeh, it has a number of purposes) I'm not going to give you a civics lesson here.
Zappa: but I want to say one thing - we must not see eye to eye on the idea of a government that must forbid things in order to protect families.
Lofton: Really? What is the government's role. You've told me several times ...
Zappa: How about national defense?
Lofton: Yeh, I consider this National defense, pal - our families are under attack! - from people like you with these lyrics!
Braden: John, you don't have to buy them ...
Novak: Mr. Zappa?
Zappa: Could I make a statement about national defense?
Lofton: Sure ... yeah.
Zappa: The biggest threat to America today is not communism, it's moving America towards a fascist theocracy and everything that has happened during the Reagan administration is steering us right down that pipe.
Novak: Oh, Mr - Mr. Zappa ...
Zappa: Yes. Mr. Zappa.
Novak: Do you - do you really think - I mean,
Zappa: I really think that.
Novak: .. all kidding .. all kidding aside. In this country with the permissiveness that we are moving toward a fascist theocracy? Anything goes
Zappa: You bet we are, buddy.
Novak: Do you, do you think things like this would ever (have been permitted)
Zappa: (talkover) there you give me that famous smile again.
Novak: When we were twenty - when we were twenty - when we were kids? You're about my age ...
Zappa: I'm 45.
Novak: Well. I'm 55. Do you think when I was a kid that they would permit songs like that to be sold?
Novak: I mean permissiveness is the game ... I mean I mean - your not, your not really serious if you're saying we're going towards a fascist theocracy.
Zappa: That's right, we are.
Braden: ... wait a minute.
Novak: In what way? Gimme one ...
Braden: Bob!
Lofton: wait .. wait .. wait. One example - one example of a fascist theocracy.
Zappa: When you have a government that prefers a certain moral code
derived from a certain religion and that moral code turns into legislation
to suit one certain religious point of view and if that code happens to be very, very right wing
almost toward Attila the Hun...
Lofton: Well then you are an anarchist. Every form of civil government is based on some kind of morality, Frank!
Zappa: Morality in terms of behavior, (Lofton: well, of course, of course ...) Zappa: not in terms of theology.


Remember thinking back then that television programs such as Crossfire were becoming ridiculous shout-fests, but now see them in comparison with today's as paragons of civil discourse. blackeyed
bellyjack:
Fear not. I remain skeptical of all, and re-evaluate my perceptions in a tight loop. While the juggernaut of social forces leading us to this outcome may have slowed it's momentum remains net positive, and we have yet to reach the critical cusp.

no where is it written you will have a
relationship with your parents your entire life.

i think this is a societal expectation
when maybe you shouldnt.
or you just wont.

I don't, not by my choice or theirs. Sometimes the Universe just makes decisions that
we don't get a say in - and you move along.
jonathaneros:
Well, actually, you do have a relationship for their entire life, unless they outlive you.
Of course, it may not be a good one or one that is healthy to keep active. It is always better to move towards people who are good for you and away from those who aren't, regardless of blood relationship.
Do what is healthy for you. Always.

happy 11-11



cocorosie.

jesus loves me.

Jesus loves me
But not my wife
Not my nigger friends
Or their nigger lives
But jesus loves me
Dat for sure
'Cause the bible tell me so

Read your bible good and well
Don't forget about that apple spell
Don't fall in the wishing well
Wishing for heaven and gettin' hell
Wash behind your ears don't smell

i love coco rosie!
bellyjack:
Hits me CocoRosie manipulated a stellar turnabout by using this traditional hymn to highlight hypocrisy.

Drinking Barlean's Greens for the first time. It's smell, taste and aftertaste are reminiscent of something, but can't quite put a finger on it yet ... smile

im really really tired of the retro thing.

i especially dislike the 80's revival.
(with extremely few exceptions for very rare nostalgic moments.)
i didnt really dig that shit then, and dont like it now either.

and why are so many tattoos pure shit?
its really gonna look like crap in 30+ years.
seriously.

can someone tell me where is imagination, innovation and novelty...

cranstonlamont:
Imagination, innovation and novelty are pretty high up in Maslow's pyramid of aspirations. In tough times people tend to concentrate on things further down the hierarchy like food and shelter. Seriously.
nikonphoto80:
To me the 80s was the worst time in the history of ever, the movies were not that great, most of the music sucked and everyone looked stupid.

Well I kind of like the whole steam punk thing, I think they have some cool looking stuff.

I really dont know why people get bad tattoos, I think about my tattoos for years before I get them.
