America I've given you all and now I'm nothing.
|
|
America I misplaced a 720K floppy, mine. Can't find it.
|
|
Will it turn up? Hopingly.
|
|
March 13, 1997. I definitely can't stand my own mind.
|
|
America when will we rid ourselves of all violence and
|
|
Naked agression?
|
|
Go fuck yourself with your atom bomb.
|
|
I feel shitty, leave me alone.
|
|
I'm like a wound with legs.
|
|
I'll write the rest of this borrowing heavily
|
|
When I'm good and readily.
|
|
America when will we be free?
|
|
When will you take off your clothes?
|
|
When will you stop eating people?
|
|
America why are your libraries full of fears?
|
|
America when will you send food unconditionally to everybody?
|
|
I'm sick of your insane demands.
|
|
When can I go somewhere and buy something with my looks?
|
|
There must be some other way to live than consumption.
|
|
You are machinery America. Nothing more.
|
|
Ginsberg is dead and I steal his posies gladly.
|
|
Ring around your holier-than thous. I spit on your Tupperware coffin.
|
|
Are you being sinister or is this some form of practical joke?
|
|
Well, Til Eulenspiegel doesn't like it so
|
|
Knock it off America.
|
|
When will cops smile and say "have a nice day?"
|
|
Let me make my point for peat's sake.
|
|
Hummous. Sprouts. Beans, Kurdistanis and whey.
|
|

|
SHUT DOWN THE CRANDON MINE AND GET YOUR PENIS OUT OF NAVAHOPI LANDS.
|
|
America I used to be an anarchist when I was young and stupid.
|
|
Now I'm balding and cynical and horny for nonviolent revolution.
|
|
If I knew how to overthrow your sorry ass conflict-oriented International
|
|
Insecurity State without tanks and squadrons I'd've done it a decade ago.
|
|
I'm proud to be an American just as I'm proud to be an anarchist.
|
|
America my mind is made up of LSD, potassium, salt, fibroptics, silocon
|
|
and seminary school.
|
|

Are you going to let your emotional life be run by Turner Network Television?
|
|
Oh I see, America, your new boyfriend is Bill Gates.

Itchy Finger on a Plutonium 239 trigger?
|

America? You'll just have me killed or something. Or worse, waste taxpayers
|
|
Dollars following me 3 Ford LTD's deep.
|
|

|
|
America when I was 10 my mother and father brought me to hippy church
|
|
Be Ins and I had sex with teenage girls. Don't knock my mother and father

America this is quite serious. There are lots of people who are way too
|
|
Fat and way too thin and they can't help themselves because they watch
|
|
Too much David Letterman and Thighmaster commercials.
|
|
America am I right?

CHILDREN OF WOOD AND METAL
|
|
by Shadow. (ed note: this is a very long piece. It will show in
|
|
the next 5-20 issues as a saga. Consider it a good
|
|
alternative to the Starwars mega-ilogy)
|
|
He had never had any children, and he probably never would,
|
|
this ragged man named Ted Kaczmaryk who rode a junkyard bicycle.
|
|
Nevertheless, he was intimately acquainted with the immensity of life and
|
|
death on this planet. He was a very creative man.
|
|
His mind was in a ferment today as he peddled up the hill toward his
|
|
cabin. He'd spent all day at the town library, catching up on the world's
|
|
news. One article in particular haunted him. He could not get it out of
|
|
his mind as he labored up Stemple Pass Road.
|
|
A yellow school bus was stopped by the cluster of mailboxes, disgorging
|
|
a horde of children. One of them waved to Ted, who recognized the boy as
|
|
Dan, the librarian's son. Ted lifted a finger in return, but did not
|
|
speak (ed note: that is "way" montana/colorado/arizona) Two other boys
|
|
turned to stare at him. There goes that weirdo, said one to the other,
|
|
and they both laughed.

PART IV OF MARC FRUCHT'S GUIDE TO THE UNABOMBER'S MANIFESTO.
|
|
Previously Published in paper form December 1995. Timed but oh so timely.
|
|
|
|
95. It is said that we live in a free society because we have a certain
|
|
number of constitutionally guaranteed rights. But these are not as
|
|
important as they seem. The degree of personal freedom that exists in a
|
|
society is determined more by the economic and technological structure of
|
|
the society then by its laws or its form of government.
|
|
NOTE 16. When the American colonies were under British rule there were
|
|
fewer and less effective guarantees of freedom than there were after the
|
|
American Constitution went into effect, yet there was more personal freedom
|
|
in pre-industrial America, both before and after the War of Independence
|
|
than there was after the Industrial Revolution took hold in this country...
|
|
95. (con't) Most of the Indian nations of New England were monarchies, and
|
|
many of the cities of the Italian Renaissance were controlled by dictators.
|
|
But in reading about these societies one gets the impression that they
|
|
allowed far more personal freedom than our society does...
|
|
97. Constitutional rights are useful up to a point, but they do not serve
|
|
to guarantee much more than what might be called the bourgeois conception
|
|
of freedom. According to the bourgeois conception a "free" man is
|
|
essentially an element of a social machine and has only a certain set of
|
|
prescribed and delimited freedoms; freedoms that are designed to serve the
|
|
needs of the social machine more than those of the individual... But what
|
|
kind of freedom does one have if one can use it only as someone else
|
|
prescribes? FC's conception of freedom is not that of ... bourgeois
|
|
theorists. (I almost spelled that terrorist, had to do a doubletake)
|
|
The trouble with such Theorists is that they have made the development and
|
|
application of social theories their surrogate activity. Consequently the
|
|
theories are designed to serve the needs of the theorists more than the needs
|
|
of any people who may be unlucky enough to live in a society on which the
|
|
theories are imposed.
|
|
(CONTINUED NEXT ISSUE)(For those just joining in, and others keep in mind:
|
|
this is just a primer. I've picked the ones that I think we need to know of.
|
|
I've left out the ones the Washington Post and New York Times picked that
|
|
didn't seem to make sense, kept in the most important 4500 words. T'least
|
|
that's MY opinion. Read the whole thing please and make up your own mind.
|
|
I urge you NOT TO BELIEVE ME BLINDLY OR THE OTHER PRESSES.)
