<DIV>POLITICS IS LIKE TRYING TO SCREW A CAT IN THE ASS <BR><BR><I>"Dear Mr.
Bukowski:<BR> Why don't you ever write about
politics or world
affairs?"<BR> M.K.</I><BR><BR>"Dear
M.K.:<BR> What for? Like, what's new? --- everybody
knows the bacon is<BR>burning."<BR></DIV>
<DIV>I think that if Adolph Hitler were around now he would pretty much enjoy
the present scene.<BR> what's there to say about
politics and world affairs? the Berlin Crisis, the Cuban crisis, spy planes, spy
ships, Vietnam, Korea, lost H-bombs, riots in American cities, starvation in
India, purge in Red China? are there good guys and bad guys? some that always
lie, some that never lie? are there good governments and bad governments? no,
there are only bad governments and worse governments. will there be a flash of
light and heat that rips us apart one night while we are screwing or crapping or
reading the comic strips or pasting blue-chip stamps into a book? instant death
is nothing new, nor is mass instant death new. but we've improved the product;
we've had these centuries of knowledge and culture and discovery to work with;
the libraries are fat and crawling and overcrowded with books; great paintings
sell for hundreds of thousands of dollars; medical science is transplanting the
human heart; you can't tell a madman from a sane one upon the streets, and
suddenly we find our lives, again, in the hands of the idiots. the bombs may
never drop; the bombs might drop. eeney, meeney, miney,
mo<BR> now if you'll forgive me, dear readers, I'll
get back to the whores and the horses and the booze, while there's time. if
these contain death, then, to me, it seems far less offensive to be responsible
for your own death than the other kind which is brough to you fringed with
phrases of Freedom and Democracy and Humanity and/or any of all that
Bullshit.<BR> first post, 12:30. first drink, now.
and the whores will always be around. Clara, Penny, Alice,
Jo<BR> eeny, meeney, miney, mo</DIV></BODY></HTML>
