Naturally, prosecutors pick up a lot of criminal vocabulary, especially in the drug trade,
where criminal words for things are the only words there are; you can say, "He was
holding a deck," or you can say, "He was holding a glassine envelope of a white powdery
substance . . . alleged and believed to be heroin." Crack isn't usually packaged in vials
anymore but in miniature heat-sealed plastic bags, which the dealers call "slabs." The
official and legal term for them is "slabs" as well. To make a rule of this kind of
exception would lead to indictments that read, "To wit, defendant did possess one mad fat
rock of yayo."

There was a fever over the land. A fever of disgrace, of indignity, of hunger. We had a
democracy, yes, but it was torn by elements within. There was, above all, fear. Fear of
today, fear of tomorrow, fear of our neighbors, fear of ourselves. Only when you
understand that can you understand what Hitler meant to us. Because he said to us: 'Lift
up your heads! Be proud to be German! There are devils among us. Communists,
Liberals, Jews, Gypsies! Once the devils will be destroyed, your miseries will be
destroyed.' It was the old, old story of the sacrifical lamb. What about us, who knew
better? We who knew the words were lies and worse than lies? Why did we sit silent?
Why did we participate? Because we loved our country! What difference does it make if
a few political extremists lose their rights? What difference does it make if a few racial
minorities lose their rights? It is only a passing phase. It is only a stage we are going
through. It will be discarded sooner or later. 'The country is in danger.' We will 'march
out of the shadows.' 'We will go forward.' And history tells you how well we succeeded!
We succeeded beyond our wildest dreams. The very elements of hate and power about
Hitler that mesmerized Germany, mesmerized the world! We found ourselves with
sudden powerful allies. Things that had been denied us as a democracy were open to us
now. The world said go ahead, take it! Take Sudetenland, take the Rhineland -
remilitarize it - take all of Austria, take it! We marched forward, the danger passed. And
then one day, we looked around and found we were in even more terrible danger. The
rites began in this courtroom, swept over our land like a raging, roaring disease! What
was going to be a passing phase became a way of life.

Well in my opinion a battle never works according to plan. The plan is only a common
base for changes. It's very important that everyone should know the plan, so you can
change it easily... the modern battle is very fluid, and you have to make your decisions
very fast -- and mostly not according to plan. But at least everybody knows where you're
coming from, and where you're going to, more or less.

The Bible contains 6 admonishments to homosexuals and 362 admonishments to

All men dream: but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their
minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are
dangerous men, for they may act their dream with open eyes, to make it possible.
-T. E. Lawrence
consider your own movement on earth. Even if you are walking in a straight line, the
earth itself is rotating about its axis and revolving around the sun, which in turn is
revolving around the galaxy, which is in turn moving about the universe. So your true
movement in space is nothing like a straight line. It is more like a Zig, a Zag, and then a
Swirl.
-Alfred Lawson
If the enemy is in range, so are you. Incoming fire has the right of way. There is always a
way. The easy way is always mined. Try to look unimportant, they may be low on ammo.
Professionals are predictable, it's the amateurs that are dangerous. The enemy invariably
attacks on two occasions: when you're ready for them, and when you're not ready for
them. Teamwork is essential, it gives them someone else to shoot at. If you can't
remember, then the claymore is pointed at you. The enemy diversion you have been
ignoring will be the main attack. A 'sucking chest wound' is nature's way of telling you to
slow down. If your attack is going well you have walked into an ambush. Never draw
fire, it irritates everyone around you. Anything you do can get you shot, including
nothing. Make it tough enough for the enemy to get in and you won't be able to get out.
Never share a foxhole with anyone braver than yourself. If you're short of everything but
the enemy, you're in a combat zone. When you have secured an area, don't forget to tell
the enemy. Never forget that your weapon is made by the lowest bidder. Remember, once
you pull the pin, Mr. Hand Grenade is no longer your friend. It's not the bullet with your
name on it you have to worry about, it's all those other ones labeled 'occupant'.
-The Laws of Combat
There has never been a shortage of people willing to market something-for-nothing

The drug war is fueled by the fact that at this historic moment, when American
Liberalism and free enterprise have "won" the Cold War, our politicians are suffering
from enemy deprivation. Faced with the real problems of urhan decay, slipping global

to turn its energies toward the 25 million Americans who use and traffic psychoactive
drugs.

Some people only attach value to things they have to pay for. This is the businessman's

When two people love each other a very long time (six years or more), sometimes they

just knocked your girlfriend up because you didn't use a condom. Right?

Of all tyrannies a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most
oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral

During this period, US world hegemony has often been exercised-sometimes benignly,
sometimes arrogantly-in a generally lazy, half-hearted, absent-minded way. One key
reason for this is that as every US opinion poll and election has shown, the great majority
of Americans, while proud of their "world leadership," are also profoundly uninterested
in the details of its implementation. And the reason for this is that until 8.45am on
September 11th 2001, very few Americans believed in their hearts that anything the rest
of the world could do could seriously harm them.
-Anatol Lieven
The tragedy of this world is that no one is happy, whether stuck in a time of pain or of

Actually, the point of the National Zoo is to imprison animals for the amusement of

As far as pizza goes, New Yorkers rise to new levels of delusion on this score. What they

DC couture is notoriously ordinary, as though they have a wedding at five, a funeral at

I'll grant that New York bagels are superb. Locals claim it's because of the New York
City water; it imparts some special flavor. I know what it is: Plutonium. In 1984 the
Times reported that trace levels of plutonium had been found in local water; I was there
that year, and remember the bagels as especially delicious. That's why DC bagels are
inferior: they use flavors to cover up the use of substandard ingredients, like uranium."

New Yorkers never look up anyway. Tilt the head back more than 35 degrees and you

So the District of Columbia is nicer compared to New York. Eva Braun was probably
nicer than Messalina. So? No one lives in either city because it's nice. You live in this

the dry cleaners around here are good at getting out blood and adrenalin. You want to
smell trees? Go to Minnesota. Which, incidentally, is what I did. I can snipe at everyone

In Italy for thirty years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed,

Well, way back last semester, some one claiming to be a vampire said that his species
was first generated by someone drinking the blood of a dragon. Let me just say right now
that this does not work. I've seen many humans try it over the years and none of them
became a vampire. The only result they achieved was an angry dragon. And an angry
dragon is not something you want to see (or so the survivors told me as they apologized).
I refuse to claim to be a vampire and I refuse to understand why any human should want
to do so. It is useless.

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to
correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black
seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far. The sciences, each
straining in its own direction, have hitherto harmed us little; but some day the piecing
together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of
our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from

War is human nature, as is murder and random violence. Trying to revise human nature is
the direction of our age to some degree, but it's stupid. The current trend is to suppress or

violence as the Victorian era was about sex. Let's have a rennaisance of Free Hate to
