Hi, Prime Anarchist here. I don't have much to say today
|
|
so I'll keep this short. I got up late, and then decided
|
|
to put ATI in the composing room this morning instead of
|
|
tonite. So you all get a slightly early treat.
|
|
And MUCH BETTER THAN KIBBLES AND BITS.
|
|
Speaking of which, did you know they came out with a
|
|
gentle high-fiber version of Kibbles that's geared for
|
|
older dogs and getting them the consistancy they need in
|
|
their doggy lifestyle? Kibbles and Schi*t*z.
|
|
Well, we'll get quickly on to the #'s run and then some
|
|
interviews and stuff. There were no contributions to the
|
|
ati@etext.org box so most of this issue will be my own
|
|
fault. I haven't been near the marco99@juno.com box in a
|
|
couple weeks so there might be a backup of submissions
|
|
there if anyone's responding to old ATI's. (and I can't
|
|
imagine how many letters are being deadlettered or bounced
|
|
from the BRO box or the New Jersey Addresses. Any way of
|
|
finding out, Ground Zero? OK here goes the #'s runs. Hope
|
|
you all had good Holy Dayz. Happy New Years too. Hope you
|
|
made good new years revolutions. Mine is to change things.

How To Be Your Own Court Jester
|
|
The next time you feel caught up in some problem
|
|
which has you upset or worried, call in the clowns.
|
|
Exaggerate the issue as much as you can: "Oh, God, this
|
|
is the WORST thing that has EVER happened to me. It's
|
|
worse than the San Francisco earthquake of '89!"
|
|
Then you might pound your head in clown's jest,
|
|
weep fake tears, throw yourself on the floor... then have
|
|
a good laugh. Be both audience and clown. When you're done
|
|
you may not only feel better, but the issue or problem may
|
|
find its proper proportion in your life.

harder to remove. Much less, keep out.

I wonder how much an American (or any for that matter)
|
|
running shoe would REALLY be if companies weren't allowed to
|
|
find $6 a day labor somewhere outside their own country?
|
|
Let's see. When a brand new pair of Nikes comes out
|
|
they're about $109.99 and they're handmade in the US of A.
|
|
Then about 6 months later they're made in Korea by hand
|
|
and in the US on a machine and they're about 89.99. $70 and $40
|
|
seems to be the magic #'s at ALL the shops by the time you can
|
|
walk into a store and start asking for help finding that model,
|
|
but an American made pair. I swear, ask a clerk to help you find
|
|
it, you might be able to find them this discovery for their own
|
|
self-revolution at the same exact moment!
|
|
The shoes are all mixed in by now. Korean handmades, Thai machines,
|
|
"Made by real live Tianamin College students,"
|
|
"Handmade in the USA"
|
|
"made by scabs," all of them. Same "who cares-price"
|
|
for each of them. USA, Korea, China, Guatemala,
|
|
no one seems to care by then--
|
|
same "low" price! Of course when they get to Goodwill that $109 pair
|
|
sits right next to a $39.99 pair for $5. Ask if you can have them both
|
|
for $6 see where THAT gets ya.
|
|
So I'd say "middle class" America is unwittingly working
|
|
with slaves hand-in-hand to bring us these so-self-subsidized
|
|
sneakers. (AND NIKE'S NOT THE ONLY ONES BY THE WAY - ASK ME WHEN THE
|
|
LAST PAIR OF SANFRANCISCO LEVIS i EVER BOUGHT WAS??? They're just
|
|
scapegoat of the year, I'd say.)
|
|
Yeah, we're keeping Nikes from being $300 a pair, on Kate
|
|
Moss' feet, 209.49 on ours and staying out of Goodwill's bins for about
|
|
3 extra weeks.
|
|
So how much is a pair of sneakers really if we remove slave
|
|
labor from the picture? Who the heck knows. Do the math however you
|
|
want. I figure it's about 80:30 and/or 240:90 but this economy's just
|
|
so darn complexified now I've got half a mind to stop doing math
|
|
altogether and just plain call it FALSE.
|
|
(did he say "false?"
|
|
Anarchist said "false economy?"
|
|
Prime Anarchist said a "false..."
|
|
I would never... well...
