The latest absurdity to come out of all this stuff about Iraq, terrorism, Bush, etc. is the new hateful redefinition of the word "rendition".  What used to be, say, Sinatra's rendition of a song or Van Gogh's rendition of a scene has now become a hateful kidnapping and transporting of "suspects" from one country to another.

Yr comments on the Iraq mess put the finger in the wound (el dedo en la llaga) all right.  But see Wesley Clark's op-ed in today's NY Times.  Something more useful and intelligent could be done.  The tragedy is that the Bush gang is too stupid and arrogant to ever do it.

so what if the real can be turned beautiful?
can you turn prisoners out of hidden torture camps?
interesting to watch shattered-usa try to get out of this one.
we don't torture but whatever we do we protect you.
buddha disappears into a blur of colors.
the cpu distorts the reality it creates.
nothing is distorted and everyone using a computer knows nothing is
 created.
misery becomes everyone in the world.

Pray for the Pigeon

the pigeons, rock doves, don't live long in new york. yesterday i
saw one, feathers i think covered in oil, in any case, they were all
askew, she was begging for food like the rest of them, many won't
live through the winter, those who do often lose toes to frostbite.
there was nothing we could do. if you believe in a god, pray for her.
i don't, i can't. it's eno! ugh to report on this dove which haunted
my dreams, it's selfish, this haunting.

we need another universe. perhaps arrange buddda next to buddddha,
run as long as you like. i can't meditate, i can only watch a cycle
or two, but the files aren't all that large.
