Amen, brother, amen! Workers of the world unite and listen to Frank Zappa!! (and register to vote - even if there is no one to vote for in your zone of activities). I read yesterday that the Republican beast-machine in Michiganis engaged in a "voter suppression" operation, seeing how it is a

Life in America has been frighteningly reminiscent of MANY PKD novel's for sometime. I just read "The Simulacra" not too long ago and that was also a scary parallel of life in this country. Same with "Radio Free Albemuth". Darrell "Philip K Dick's The man in the high castle ...?"

Yep! I can relate to that. I recentlyread again (after about a 15 year absence!!), "The Simulacra" and I was quite astonished/knocked-back by its insights/prescience. And, yes, "Radio Free Albemouth" is a great novel, especialy as- IF I recall correctly - PKD 'assimilates' his experince of

Noam Chomsky: What the public wants is called politically unrealistic. Translated into English that means Power and Privilege are opposed to it. Mark I'll admit I am a Nader supporter. I'd like to see America in the hands, or at least with a figurehead that is a consumer advocate. I like to

Could be rough. Legal challenges re going to be EVERYWHERE! I think it could be a good thing, though. A heightened awareness of elective procedure would benefit people. Seen Palast's report on black-vote suppression again in Florida and Ohio? Mark, Naderite I cannot take the polls seriously.
