fundamentalists and new agers (that includes you, green gulch) alike,

the existentialists were basically correct.

there is no point to life.

existence itself is a cancer.

a cancer is a living thing, a growing thing. like a plant. or a baby. a baby is a cancer. so is fruit.

so are mushrooms, and primo herb (ditchweed is less so).

but i digress.

i am a pessimist. i am not unhappy. but life is meaningless. i am not depressed.

not at all.

don't project onto me, please.

we have a lot to learn still from soviet russia. we are doomed to repeat its mistakes.

better to learn now as much as we can about stalinism.
