Object Permanence and the Postmodern Milieu
It is amusing, no? Rational analysis, unwittingly employed by the wooly-headed, ironic, effete chatterers, for whom the "new age" is not a laughing matter, in the attempt to "deconstruct" those institutions for which rational analysis is fundamental. It is an intellectual bootstrapping that, in its smug crusade against modernity, cannot avoid its own blade. In its wake is left a humanity which was promised the opportunity for real self-determination as assured in the form of an empiricism which the priests of narcissism have now turned against itself. As these autists hold forth that George Bush would surreptitiously have us in the 19th Century, they predicate this sort of prevarication with the kind of philosophical underpinnings that rather overtly embrace a return to the 40th Century - B.C.E. It should come as little surprise that Democrats respond with The French, arbiters of all things sophisticated, are the paragon of postmodernity and as such, be warned that warmongering James Lileks should not be trusted in his completely unwarranted criticism of this great counterweight to U.S. hegemony. /sarcasm Seriously, IMO, Lileks is one of the unmitigated stars blogdom and a brilliant writer. That I don't have the bleat in my blogroll is a problem soon to be remedied. posted by Malaclypse the Tertiary at 1:07 AM · Sunday, July 04, 2004
Northwestern US Secedes, Joins China
"Life, liberty, and property do not exist because men have made laws. On the contrary, it was the fact that life, liberty, and property existed beforehand that caused men to make laws in the first place."Coming to a hubristic legislature near you: Repealing Private Property. It seems that King County, Washington eco-tards are attempting to arrogate to themselves the decision about what land-owners can or cannot do with their land. From the article: Known as the 65-10 Rule, it calls for landowners to set aside 65 percent of their property and keep it in its natural, vegetative state. According to the rule, nothing can be built on this land, and if a tree is cut down, for example, it must be replanted. Building anything is out of the question.The pressure group responsible for this abdication of sanity is known as 1000 Friends of Washington. Quite frankly, fuck them. When I was a raffish youthful pop-musician, I was company to pollyannas who were enamored of yelling, "You'll be the first against the wall when the revolution comes!" While I doubt they had the balls to turn such posturing into action, I am much more confident in the resolve that land-owners will demonstrate in their response to attempts at expropriation of said land. posted by Malaclypse the Tertiary at 1:00 AM · |
