What made you think of that motorcycle in particular?

Here's what we have. It's small for Mr. PRock but it's going to be perfect for me when we get him a new bike. 
3) Yevgeni Zamyatin, letter to Joseph Stalin (1931)
No creative activity is possible in an atmosphere of systematic persecution that increases in intensity from year to year. In each of my published works these critics have inevitably discovered some diabolical intent. Regardless of the content of a given work, the very fact of my signature has become a sufficient reason for declaring the work criminal....

Backdoor Musing #1
The walls perspired slightly in the morning after sunlight, the storms had been unkind to the landscape but the air smelled pleasant after so many days of oppressive heat. I inhaled deeply, as if something might snatch away the smoke, and exhaled with a quick thrust of creaking lungs. Betty was always eager to greet the first one to the back door,...

I've never actually taken anybody off, as far as I know. I always thought you took me off. 
For that matter, I always thought Cheech took me off his list, too. Maybe he didn't after all. I always figured that this kinda list is personal enough that if somebody has a reason for removing me, it's not for me to question...

Backdoor musing #6
The very tips of Katrinas angry tropical whispers have permeated our air space as the oppressive humidity, gathers like a halo around the broken fingers of Mary. We gave her haven from the skeleton of large broken house in North Philly, all those long angry months ago. Lifetimes have come and gone since those endless hours wrapped in the claustrophobic cellophane of...

Was I snarky with you in a thread? Probably misinterpretting me. I had a couple bad weeks there for a while and my SG usage in general has gone down, but if I'm givin' you bad vibes, my apologies.
Maybe I just need to up my emoticon usage.

Backdoor musing #4
As for the degenerate artists, I forbid them to force their so-called experiences upon the public. If they do see fields blue, they are deranged, and should go to an asylum. If the only pretend to see them blue, they are criminals, and should go to prison. I will purge the nation of them.

It's interesting that Hitler seemed charismatic to people who knew the language- by that I mean, I think to most people who don't know German he just seems like a nasty, angry guy when making speeches.
Seems to me that people most responded to 1) the idea of order, being saved from post-WWI poverty, 2) nationalism (god, do people respond to that nowadays! And I mean everywhere), 3) war (people generally seem to like war, or want it- they say they don't, but 95% of what they do and say seems to counter this claim), 4) maybe to some extent revenge, on France, Russia, England... I'd have to do some social studies on 1920s-30s Germany to make that fourth point for sure, but the others seem pretty upfront with the way things played out in the '30s-'40s.
