Sweat & thundering               The first block or two here
industrial noise;                is not so bad.  Move it back up
and the silence                  top, with a goto... to what?
    of snowy spaces...           the plan?
                                 The old "triad"?
Truth over beauty,
intellect over passion,
freedom over security--

Still...
A beauty in the cold truth,
A passion for the intellect,
And freedom is the only security.

Contempt for the mundane,
A refusal to conform,
even to the non-conformists.


         The constellation
         of my interests
         and ideas also
         can repel other
         kinds of women.

Virtue may not be it's own reward.
But vice is usually it's own punishment.

"The exhortation to the older Saxon term is a new version of
an older rule: the exhortation to the Greek before the
Latin.  But why might one prefer the Greek "rhapsode" to the
Latin "delirium"?  Delirium speaks only of derangement, in
deference to the enthusiasm and the ecstasy that still
inheres in it.  It is not as Gaimon's Prince of Dreams
would sometimes have us believe: that Delirium was once
Delight.  Rather, Delirium was once madness -- and is now
Delight."
                  Samuel R. Delany,
                 _Silent Interviews_,
                 "Introduction: Reading the Written Interview"


(That spelling of Gaiman's name is Delany's,
not mine, and conventionally I'm supposed to
interject a rather rude [sic] there, though
I really wish I was allowed to just fix it
without being accused of re-writing history
or something.)

  You do know about
  libertarians, right?  If you
  don't, try to search (^S) for
  LIBERTY (and don't forget the
  caps).



And hide my contempt
of someone with a
standard-issue mind
that goes group thinking along...

Outtake from SATANS_PLACE
(redundant, I think):

You can tell a story
about a character's
confusion, and
ideally you'll tell
it from inside that
character's point of
view, but ultimately
the confusion itself
should become
comprehensible.

outtake from CIRCULAR MOTION:

(embracing
 the veil,
 embrassing
 the ___ )

Cost estimates:

They're really hard to do right,
you can "make 'em come out any way
you want".


 many of the things
we might do to combat global warming
are worth doing anyway.

  (( if you're going to go out in a blaze of skiffy,
     do it right, make this stuff more detailed. ))
