Greetings!
The materials for this edition of Staying Awake had been gathered, yet the umph to put the ezine together with words of hope wrapped inside an uncommon perspective kept turning around, grimacing at me as if to say ‘you faker.’
Few thoughts I wanted to write for you were authentically hopeful. The theme was to have been points of view about experiments in vast categories of biotechnologies while caught in a global, catch-22 travesty perpetrated by rulers’ and despots’ sellers of illusions.
The illusion of freedom will continue as long as it’s profitable to continue the illusion. At the point where the illusion becomes too expensive to maintain, they will just take down the scenery, they will pull back the curtains, they will move the tables and chairs out of the way and you will see the brick wall at the back of the theater.
~ Frank Zappa (b 1940), American composer, guitarist, singer, film director, satirist
Still too many people believe they are special in imaginary worlds of everlasting life, that they will be saved from brick walls by faithfully parroting ‘it won’t happen to us, that’s just worldly propaganda.’ Their personal cosmologies allow little or no questions of what they staunchly believe is untrue. Many don’t ask questions due to hopeless vanity within easily swayed communities buttressed by olden plagiarized prophecies, declaring messianic ambiguities that fit similar militaristic circumstances within the past ten thousand years.
Dear Readers, we are living in a very strange world in which liberties and freedoms and feelings, as we have imagined them to be, have been conveniently pimped into a maw of deep economic consumption for nearly a century. Everyone in USA must be complicit to live in the bottomless, consumer maw of market democracy, but rulers and CEOs of colossal corporations and their warring despots are to blame, for those few may freely select from spectrums of choices bought with extorted wealth.

See you September 7, 2008,
and All The Best To You!
