Issue 18

News: Now that I got my enemy list out of the way, I would like to tell you about my "Friend list" of people that I wouldn't mind hanging out with.

David Byrne- He is the lead singer of the Talking Heads and confesses he has not a clue what he is doing.

Michael Moore- For all you critics who try pointing out details, listen to the big picture: THE RIGHT is not right.

Thomas Pynchon, James Joyce- Two famous writers who most likely never met each other, but both have written 800-page long incomprehensible books that I find to be cool.

J.D. Salinger- I have to get the Film Rights to The Catcher in the Rye somehow.

Woody Allen- His films are Truly Brilliant.

Hunter S. Thompson- Humourist who wrote Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and hated Nixon as much as I do Bush and his cronies.

John Stuart Mill- From his book On Liberty: The sole end for which mankind are warranted, individually or collectively, in interfering with the liberty of action of any of their number, is self-protection. That the only purpose for which power can be rightfully exercised over any member of a civilised community, against his will, is to prevent harm to others. His own good, either physical or moral, is not sufficient warrant. He cannot rightfully be compelled to do or forbear because it will be better for him to do so, because it will make him happier, because, in the opinion of others, to do so would be wise, or even right... The only part of the conduct of anyone, for which he is amenable to society, is that which concerns others. In the part which merely concerns himself, his independence is, of right, absolute. Over himself, over his own body and mind, the individual is sovereign. In other words, He believes that the law should not interfere with a person's freedom, unless when absolutely necessary (read: When harm to an innocent would be entailed.) So do I.

Close But No Cigar-
Dennis Miller- He frequently ranted about political matters that I could agree with, and I actually understood most of the references, but he turned pro-bush recently.

Film Idea- 3 short films about America.
Three films, all satires on America, although one is a 23-minute spoof of reality TV, while 2 45-minute shorts are based on obstensively true stories.
1. The Media: If it Drives, GO Live. A man is driving along the street, and obeying all the traffic laws. He stayed within the speed limit, and gave proper hand signals whenever he wanted to make a turn. Yet he still is being followed by a local all-news station.
2. Religion: Blossom. A dog digs up a neighbour's rabbit. Its owner gives it a wash-up and blow dry, and puts it back in its cage. The neighbours are shocked to discover their dead rabbit came back to life. The Husband forms a religion, which exists long enough to see a splinter group of people who constantly pray (read: get plastic surgery to look like Kip Dynamite but older, jog in circles, and sing 50s Doo-Wop songs) to it.
3. Reality TV: Trash My Ride. Rapper xZma selects an unwilling participant to have his car destroyed while he raps so obscenely, half of the song is bleeped out.

Review- A talk about Bloom's Western Canon. Famous Critic Harold Bloom released a list a few years ago about the books that defined the western world. This list made a lot of the P.C. Crowd very angry. The reason is because its list tends to rely on all those people whom have been known as the founders of Western Civilization, instead of the works of Asia, Africa, and South America. I believe he did the right thing because, quite frankly, which group tends to have more literary influence, The European literature, or the literature of Asia, Africa, and South America? Personally, I and a lot of other people admit that, as interesting as some aspects fo their cultures are, it is given that outside of Asia, Africa, and South America, the literary traditions of Europe do indeed tend to be more known. Besides, as one famous Roman said, "De gustibus non disputandum." "There's no accounting for taste."

Quote- "Why this is my responsibility I have no Idea, so I'm only going to say this once: I order you to enter the latrine and defecate!"
___________ Buzzcut, Beavis and Butthead.

Link of the Day- www.newspeakdictionary.com
A man compares Orwells 1984 with life in 2005. Check out the forum, also. I am Orwelliantherye.

Tract Review-
Cats- Daniel in the lions den.

Caught!- A man is caught in adultery and asks Bob Williams for sympathy. He instead lectures him on David and Bathsheba. 13 of 25 in the Bible Series.

Charlie's Ants- Charlien loves his ants! When their lives are in danger, a friend tells him about how Jesus becama a man to save humanity.

The Choice- Why we have a choice to Choose Jesus.

Cleo- When the family dog runs away, she is kidnapped by a dogcatcher. The Family rescues her in the nick of Time.

The Contract- As Seen in Angels? , This is about how Satan owns people who haven't accepted Christ.

Creator or Liar- Too Close to call.

The Crisis- As a girl bleeds to death, Jehovah's witnesses learn they will burn in Hell.

The Curse of Baphomet- This time, Masons burn in Hell. So Ridiculous.

Dark Dungeons- Apparently, D and D is tied to Satanism when a girl kills herself when she was forced to leave the game.

The Death Cookie- Apparently, The Egyptians turned Satan turned The Catholic Church on to Communion according to this tract. The same type of wafer used by Protestants.

The Decieved- After talking about Satan in the Bible, 2 Muslims somehow realize that Satan Controls the Vatican controls Islam. Onw would think that he would get common sense after all these Years.

A Demon's Nightmare- A day in the life of a demon constantly thwarted by The Word.

The Devil's Night- Yet another of Li'l Suzy's misadventures when she convinces a friend that Halloween is Satan's Night.

The Dirty Diamond- A family turning down a $3 million diamond becomes a metaphor for God's salvation.

Doom Town- The Story of Sodom is related.

The Dreamer- Joseph and the technicolour Dreamcoat without Donny Osmond.

Earthman- Don't let the title fool you. It is just another tract explaining creationism.

The EMpty tomb- The Life of Jesus.

The Execution- As a man is sentenced to do something that hasn't been done legally since 1936 (Hang), he learns about Jesus.

Fallen- A man is beaten constantly, and laughs at God. Bible Serie #19 of 25.

Fat Cats- Why Chick thinks a Communist Revolution will not work. Maybe not communism, but Democratic Socialism, I'm all for!

Fire Starter- Not to be confused with the superior Steven King Novel, This is about How God sent fire when Ba'al did not.

The First Jaws- The Story of Jonah.

Flight 114- 2 missionaries died in a plane crash and are condemned by God. Huh?

The Fool- A king gives a Jester a wand to give to a bigger fool than himself. Then, when he is dying, he is given the wand.

FRamed!- When a man is arrested, Bob Williams tells the story of Joseph being sold into slavery. #6 of 25 in the Bible Series.

Frame-up- A priest tells a convict about the Pharisees' fight to put Jesus in Jail.

COmpletely ridiculous, but that's why I like them.

Hey DerekAxe. I was searching on the search engines for rabbit related websites and was using the keyword rabbit cage and found your great page with the title Issue 18. I am looking for ideas on how to improve my own site using different keywords and was amazed how easy it was to find your site using the keyword rabbit cage. Perhaps we could do a link exchange at some point. Thanks for your time.
