Post #12,458 by Fearless Freep 10/9/01 2:25:15 PM Reply	yeah, uh huh... always reminds me of [link\|http://www.stormpages.com/lyrics/text/infinity.html#9\|"Just Let Me Breathe"] from Dream Theater ... The big machines take care of you Until you kill yourself And then the sales go through the roof Calculated, formulated Feed my head with simple thoughts And let me breathe instead of being taught All bottled up and tearing at the seams I'm bored Just let me breathe A daily dose of eMpTyV Will flush your mind right down the drain Shannon Hoon and Kurt Cobain, Make yourself a household name, yeah-yeah Yeah Just close your mind You can find all you need with your eyes Strike up your best angst ridden posture, whoa Manufactured anger Let's not forget my legacy All my heroes have failed me Now they're dead and buried, yeah The big machines will take care of you Until the fashion fades And the checks go through My bankroll's red And my face is blue And still they'll turn their backs on me for someone new ...

Prescient? PARSIMONY IS THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL . . . WEAR IT OUT; TRADE IT IN; USE IT UP; BUY AGAIN. WHY AM I LUCKY TO BE A CONSUMER? Because all of my needs are given, and all I have to do is work and enjoy myself. WHY CAN'T EVERYBODY BE A CONSUMER? Life has different jobs for each of us to do. For the Consumer, to work and be happy; for the Stockholder and the Executive, to worry and plan. "Life must love the Consumers, for it makes so many of them." Then of course there was, A Boy and His Dog (Harlan Ellison), to prepare us all for the post bin-Laden, er Final Solution of 2010 (??)

Well, today it's holding at [link\|http://www.bullatomsci.org/\|10 minutes before Noon..] Haven't looked in a long time; thought it was reset to -15 minutes after USSR wasn't (?) IIRC it made -2 minutes or closer, in October 1962. I look for another move, shortly after the Next attack in US.
