I like eating.
Eating computer languages. I eat them a lot. I eat a lot. Because
alot is not a word, otherwise isnot could be a word. It probably is in
some computer languages though. Maybe comp.lang.c will know. Posted
there. Or not.
> I like eating.
i realize it's not much to brag about, but,
i've never eaten crow.
the crows haven't pecked out my eyes yet, either
so, we're even.
i fed some crows, and some bluejays too,
they'll both eat peanuts
crows will eat meat,
but i've never seen a bluejay eat meat.
apparently they have a place in the sky.
maybe that's something to crow about
but then they may have to eat themselves...

words don't have to be written
but, you probably wouldn't say that "yard"
is a different word depending on regional accent
but, if you never rote it down, you may think so.
computers are like really really literal children.
you have to give them explicit instructions with
esssentially a one to one correspondence between
character set and elicitted response.
if you tell a machine that sometimes "blue"
means the color of a duck's neck or a jays tail
and sometimes, means a type of 'mood'
_it_ may tend relay a message back to you,
that a blue jay is always sad.
"isnot" can be interpretted by a machine to 'mean' +STOP+
if you instruct it that it means +STOP+ always
and, you instruct it, in what manner it must always react
when +STOP+ is placed in its path of interpretation.
like, you can't -just- tell 'it' that "isnot" means STOP
you also have to 'tell' 'it' what to do when it comes across STOP
cuz, 'it' could 'see' STOP, and keep right on going...

i didn't initiate the crosspost, so, you may ask the person who
initiated it.
do yourself a big favor and don't make an issue of it with me.

and for all of the "us" who may or may not care;
i waited -2- days and no one said anything
to the initiator of the crosspost.
that's easily considered a "tacit" acceptance
of such a crosspost.
perhaps someone else sees the topicallity that you do not.
there, -now- i've done you a big favor.
It sounds like you haven't been formally introdced to Mr. Kiki, master of

cop. You'll have to get used to it...

i tell you one thing, just like "the birdman of alcatraz" told me;
the only people that are 100% =certain= about
what the days to come hold in store for them
are death row imates and other assorted prisoners.
it's not such a bad thing to be 'uncertain' about
certain aspects of the days to come.
that's like, akin to 'freedom'
don't go totally the way of ancient Egypt
they practically -worshipped- the "existing conditions"
it's a mental slavery...
and a perfect little prison...
beware the dictates of "Cynical Pragmatism"
embrace 'freedom' and with it,
a certain degree of "uncertainty"
believe it or not. mr. ripley...
"uncertainty" -can- be a "good thing"
not even GOD Almighty has saddled GOD Almighty
with "exhaustive omniscience"...
don't fall in to that =TRAP=
you can't glue down everything...
unclench... just a tad...
for you own good...
-no-
the "idea" was to put people in housing
that they -could- afford, and housing that was -not-
"public housing" which, in some respects was little more
than a concentration camp and a mini prison
or a step ladder -to- prison.
and speaking of prison, isn't that
the perfect public housing project?
sure, fine, works great, and there's even some -incentive-
to round up people to put -in- to prison because the gubbment
will pay 50 grand a head per year for food and board that costs
maybe 5 grand per head at a clear -profit- expecially when
you can round up lots of people on =MARYJUANER= CHARGES AND
GET THEM IN "PUBLIC' HOUSING FOR LIFE CUZ AFTER ALL,
THOSE PEOPLE WERE -BORN- TO LIVE IN JAIL, THEY -LIKE- IT.
yeah yeah yeah, it's just another 'angle' to be viewed from...
after all, those people really -are- criminals from birth
and should aspire to no greater love than to sew buttons
on high fashion for 50 cent a day which is not -really
prison wages, but a JOB they should be -thankful- for ...
"tim, tim, wassa matta? have you gone mad?"
no, not really...
but even -i- can see the disconnect between what was
"intended" and what actually begins to take shape...
which lends -crfedence- to some people's complaints
that some other people really -do- see a -reason-
to fill prisons with petty offense cases
cuz it makes -money-
and once you're in the public facillities,
it's difficult to ever get out...
but, the public facilities are still
a burden and a drain on life...
you could build a split level barn for 20 grand
and put in plumbing and electricity and make it livable
and worthy of being mortgaged and give someone extensive
time to pay it off themselves
but, then, to flip-flop -that- house and make it way
too expensive and destined to drop in value -after-
the people move in, is practically criminal itself...
and i -don't- think that -that- is what
those people had in mind from jump.
-not- "let's put people in houses that they can't afford"
no, "let's put people in houses they -can- afford"
that are -not- public facillities on a stepping stone
to THE public facillity which is prison...
etc. etc.
no, i'm not a commie...
> cuz, it's to the point that -failure- to sort this out
> -is- the road which leads to PRISON
> even if that PRISON CELL is
> guilded with fine things...
look for; "my good is your bad"
look for; "my good is me getting what i want,
and my bad is me not getting what i want"
look for; the same -action- being -both-
"good" and "bad" depending on who
gets what they want and who doesn't
get what they want.
and then you can look for indicting yourself
as a criminal for -doing- a thing which you
would consider a -crime- if it was -done- _to_ -you-
and now, you're in a self imposed prison cell
even if you have maids and servants
bringing you cake for breakfast
"how can it be a prison if i live like a Lord?"
and then here comes our olde friend "paranoia"
to seal it with a kiss...
enjoy your cake...
i'm not even -thinking- about pursuing it"
you -could- say that the Chinese were very -practical- people
but, "grid for grid" this mentallity -would have been-
incongruous with "American Idealism"
> i got this book about the 20s
> i'm actually tryin' to read it...
i've been in recovery all my life,
i don't care
i don't feel bad about it...
-that- doesn't mean that God
doesn't really exist.
> a startling reproduction
it doesn't matter, the world goes on

Subject: catharsis
a dramatic episode is working
towards some emotional release.
a catharsis or purging of emotional
tensions which can be considered
a religious experience.
that's not the main idea here,
but just a preface to enter into
this bit about caricatures.
when i mention drama and the like,
i am not speaking of the most
entertaining way to sell popcorn.
i'm not suggesting that dramatics is
taking on some false persona behind
which to deceive a perceived audiance.
no, i'm considering it as some sort of religious
experience by which conflict may be considered
and understood and maybe even properly dealt with.
so, everyone has this repertoire
of character traits that they carry
around in a little cart or "caricatura".
the overemphais and overworking of
particular traits from your little
cart is what one will consider
a "caricature".
that's you, always grabbing for the
joy buzzer cuz you can get your
laugh and exit stage right.
but now you've hung around a while.
and moving ahead, you find that your
little cart is a vetriloquist's marionette
and you would like to guard against your
dummy doing the thinking and not
only the speaking for you.
and in the dead of night, you fear
that you are trapped in your caricature
and no longer have a personality of your own.
are you tickling your own ears
cuz you want to face away
from the conflict?
playing to an audiance in which you are
included and forsaking your full repertoire
for an overindulgence in sight gags.
in essence, you began as a round figure
and etched out this perplexingly blanded
stick figure in order to ignore that
conflict which escapes your remediation.
even if that stick figure sparks with
the emotional outbursts one comes
to expect in catharsis.
and the emotional outbursts
are themselves your caricature.
but no real conflict is resolved.
and people toss the raw meat
in your face to watch the
dummy scream his head off.
and you're personality has been
dictated by the surroundings.
and you want it back.
but the dummy tells you to dance in a circle.
and you don't even recognize the
dummy as having fallen from
your caricatura.
but then you say;
"that was my intention all along"
"watch me as i smash my character
to bits and recreate it, stronger
and more noble than ever,
right before your eyes."
after having taken the step back,
and realizing that you were in
your own audiance and the conflict
was out of your control, and the
dummy never moved his lips.
and then you find God.
in the midst of the debris
pristine incorruptible
you played your part in your own reclamation.
i wonder if there'll be a sequel.
