“Godzilla is a job creator. Just look at his time in Hokkaido—after he cut a swathe of destruction through that city, suddenly construction guys, doctors, and even funeral directors were working around the clock.” But how many people can Godzilla eat in one day? Let’s not diminish the value of real estate!

Frank, My most memorable Godzilla moment comes at the end when the entire city of Tokyo lies in smoking ruins. One guy says, words to the effec that they need to start rebuilding. The other guy says, "I'll get my tools!" I'd sure like to see what tools he has to rebuild a city. Ciao! John On Thu, Apr 14, 2016 at 4:20 PM, Frank Wimberly <[hidden email]> wrote:

Perhaps there are 2 types of people in the world, those who are more frightened by other vs. those who are more frightened of themselves. The power of the metaphor lies in that New York _made_ Drumpf. To look at Trump is to look at a facet of New York. (Or we can widen "New York" to all of us.) Godzilla isn't merely a metaphor for nature or nature's response to our actions. It's a metaphor for more -urgic aspects of ourselves. Too few people think of humans as fundamentally a product of evolution for the map between him and evolution to work. But, I admit that my first thought after reading the article was Aenema: Some say the end is near. Some say we'll see Armageddon soon. I certainly hope we will. I sure could use a vacation from this Bullshit three ring circus sideshow of freaks Here in this hopeless fucking hole we call L.A. The only way to fix it is to flush it all away. Any fucking time. Any fucking day. Learn to swim, I'll see you down in Arizona Bay. Fret for your figure and Fret for your latte and Fret for your lawsuit and Fret for your hairpiece and Fret for your Prozac and Fret for your pilot and Fret for your contract and Fret for your car. It's a bullshit three ring circus sideshow of freaks Here in this hopeless fucking hole we call L.A. The only way to fix it is to flush it all away. Any fucking time. Any fucking day. Learn to swim, I'll see you down in Arizona Bay. Some say a comet will fall from the sky. Followed by meteor showers and tidal waves. Followed by fault lines that cannot sit still. Followed by millions of dumbfounded dip shits. Some say the end is near. Some say we'll see Armageddon soon. I certainly hope we will cause I sure could use a vacation from this Stupid shit, silly shit, stupid shit... One great big festering neon distraction, I've a suggestion to keep you all occupied. Learn to swim. Mom's gonna fix it all soon. Mom's comin' round to put it back the way it ought to be. Learn to swim. Fuck L Ron Hubbard and Fuck all his clones. Fuck all these gun-toting Hip gangster wannabes. Learn to swim. Fuck retro anything. Fuck your tattoos. Fuck all you junkies and Fuck your short memory. Learn to swim. Fuck smiley glad-hands With hidden agendas. Fuck these dysfunctional, Insecure actresses. Learn to swim. Cause I'm praying for rain And I'm praying for tidal waves I wanna see the ground give way. I wanna watch it all go down. Mom, please flush it all away. I wanna see it go right in and down. I wanna watch it go right in. Watch you flush it all away. Time to bring it down again. Don't just call me pessimist. Try and read between the lines. I can't imagine why you wouldn't Welcome any change, my friend. I wanna see it all come down. Bring it down Suck it down. Flush it down. -- ⇔ glen ============================================================ FRIAM Applied Complexity Group listserv Meets Fridays 9a-11:30 at cafe at St. John's College to unsubscribe http://redfish.com/mailman/listinfo/friam_redfish.com

Mr.Glen I didn't know you listend to the radeo much. Much less have it on durring the 90s. I only know of that song as my friends all but had Maynords(however that's spelled) CD play prettymuch anytime we went from Safeway to unwind. I shall endevour to take such articles as metaphor ocasionally All this time with peoples minds pretty far afield I thought it was that alien Hastir, or Just someone visiting from Galifrey with a nifty glove and a large magic blue box. Now all we need is someone wearing primithium chainmail with yellow hair and a nordic accent that carries a heavy magical hammer to help ensure the mad lizzard doesn't turn Newyork into a crater. The chitari and Bantner already beat them to it.

Heh, that's the beauty of ASCII! … well, OK, and unicode. We know so little of each other, yet can still maintain dialogue. I first discovered Tool listening to an amateur metal show on a college radio station. I didn't find any of their work around town (I was in Grand Prairie, TX, working in a tempest cage). So, I called the radio station, who gave me an address, and I sent them a letter by US Mail. They sent me a CD of their EP, their only recorded work so far, and a sticker (a crescent wrench fashioned to look phallic).

"Too few people think of humans as fundamentally a product of evolution for the map between him and evolution to work."
If some Chinook helicopters dropped Mr. Godzilla in the advocates' towns, that would solve the larger problem than Godzilla himself. Then there wouldn't need to be the newer New Deal the writer advocates, which would then all just be wasted motion. Just need to get the ecology right..
