I never denied my hypersexuality nor hyperromanticism. I had no problem
with Gary, or you thinking I'm a "sex manic." Jill called me perverted,
which I think is far worse than a generic insult like ****.

My British frieds throw it around casually, but it was indeed intended
to be offensive.

As someone who doesn't let some hag spinster insult me without
retaliating? Yes. Yes, it is.

Like I wrote, it's a word I used in a lyric. My wife and son have heard
it many times, as have all of my son's friends, and a lot of other
people.

Why wouldn't I? I don't find profanity offensive. I find mainstream
traditional values offensive. To me, this is like scripture--

The al-Quaeda folks are lucky that it was just Rumsfeld who was running
the show. Waterboarding? Shit, I'd have performed involuntary sex
reassignment, then used them as rewards for good behavior in supermax
prisons, filmed it, then made damned sure that the video was leaked.
In many ways, I am not a nice man. There are all kinds of reasons one
might have to dislike me. I am vengeful, and I get a kick out of hate
that I consider righteous. On the other hand, I am extremely loyal, and
I love as intensely as I hate.
On this Memorial Day, we are being asked to respect not only those who
fought and died for a worthy cause, but the chumps who were used by our
government to fight for predatory capitalism, and who did so out of
mindless "patriotism." They hated, and even killed, for no reason but
deference to authority.
Remember Milgram and Zimbardo? See? Lou Reed was wrong when he said,
"The best lack all conviction, while the worst are full of passionate
intensity." Sheep are no better than wolves if they accept authority,
and pigs? "Four legs good, two legs better!"
I do ramble, but Winter calls.
