There's an inverse connection between sanity and intelligence; look at statistics on the IQ of schizophrenics, for instance. My mom once synopsized a good explaination of the reason. Basically, think of your brain as a rock apon which the senses are dripping water. The smarter you are, the softer the rock; the dripping water quickly wears grooves in the rock to flow in, as the brain learns about what it is percieving. However, softer rock also is in danger of having grooves run too deep, and thus weakening the structure of the rock.
Now look at society. The general impulse is toward conformity of thought, often under the premise of sanity. This is thought necessary for stability. But if society is thought of as a large brain, the danger becomes immediately apparent; this brain is wearing grooves too deep. By forcing thought to flow only in specific directions, the entire structure is slowly undermined.
Now, this wasn't always a problem. In previous times societal thought has been so slow that there was no real danger of overwearing. Now, however, we have entered what mainstream culture calls "The Information Age". Advances in communication and learning have spead up the thought; in the earlier analogy, the rock is getting softer.
What comes of this? Either society learns (from the Church and our confederates in thought) the value of true individuality, or as it approaches World Government, it slowly cracks under the strain. What does this mean for us? Fuck if I know. Just thought I'd share my picture of the problem.

Man now that is some true ignorance on the part of officials everywhere. A real goth kid or even dare I say a "rivethead" wouldn't realy rock the boat saveing the fact they enjoy making everyone around them just a bit uncpmfortable but thats about as far as the malice goes.
I myself grew out of self mutilation, never commited even the act of J walking.
However I do wish that these insipid children who confuse
the likes of Coal Chamber, Cradel of Filfth, and of
course Marilyn manson with "goth" and or
deathrock
and think that its cool to shop at hot topic would take
a second to chill out and stop embarasing the fuck
out of the rest of us who would rather mind our own
business. I mean I used to get no end of shit for dressing
the way I did at church but I won people over with
my winning personality....Fuck and what is with this
power noise shite....I mean back in my day we had INDUSTRIAL....we
didn't have no line o drum machines and korg chaos
pad to do our dirty werk. No we had tub thumping and
chains rateling....we gutted crotch rockets and enslaved
their souls to our cyberpunk bidding. We sang with
the voice of what we thought would be the fuggin future
and we like it that way.....Hey we fucking melody and
shit....and we had as much fucking fire as we could
sneak past the fire marshal.....and now some boxdweller
in a pre rippped and pre safty pinned shirt is standing
around telling me that laibach are a bunch fucking
dorks...now all you got is some jack ass twisting his
knobs on a stage like so many perky nipples and it
gives me fucking head ache....I mean holy shit why
can't these kids sing about scar tissue and acid rain
like we used to...and why the fuck con't we all send
Sam Raimy 20 bucks so we can have another evil dead
movie.
So I hope all the little baby bats and kinder goths
out their can chill and convince the pink fucks through
positive actions...like show them your fuggin brains.
I know some fucks gave us a bad name by strapping there
fucking gats and handing out some wrath to the inocent
and shit but they were never fucking "Goth"
and even though they listened to KMFDM they obviously
never paid a goddamned snippet of attention to what
the brothers had to say.
Whatever I'm just tryin to quite smoking again.....ARGHHHHHHHHHHH

Comedian Calls Telemarketers at Dawn
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Filed at 6:14 p.m. ET
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Louisville comedian Tom Mabe went undercover at a telemarketing convention in the nation's capitol Monday to turn the tables on an industry he loves to hate.
He was on the phone calling telemarketers in their hotel rooms before dawn Monday.
Asked if he felt bad about waking the telemarketers and owners of call centers who attended the American Teleservices Association conference, Mabe said no way. ``What they do is so intrusive,'' he said. ``I think it's trespassing.''
Mabe was working out of his home office writing commercial jingles in 1993 when telemarketing calls started to exasperate him.
``When you're self-employed, you jump when the phone rings, hoping it's a client,'' he said.
Mabe, who moonlights as a stand-up comic, decided to get even by recording his conversations with telemarketers and playing pranks on them.
He told a telemarketer trying to sell him an alarm system that he was robbing the place but suggested the man call back later.
And Mabe told a caller trying to sell him a burial plot that the man had perfect timing, because he was considering killing himself. The telemarketer asked him for credit card information, Mabe said.
Mabe put together a CD of his recorded calls and said he sold more than 50,000 copies. A few years later, the now-defunct label, Virgin Nashville, released two other Mabe recordings.
``I decided if they're not going to allow me to make a living, I'll make a living off them,'' he said.
Mabe hopes some of his calls to the telemarketers attending the Washington conference are funny enough to launch a fourth CD.
He called the conference attendees in the middle of the night offering to sell them a sleep aid and pretending he was calling on behalf of the ``Telemarketers with Insomnia Foundation.'' None of the people who picked up the phone were amused, with most hanging up and calling him a jerk.
Matt Mattingley, director of government affairs for the American Teleservices Association, says he wasn't too disturbed by Mabe's actions.
``There are a number of anti-telemarketing groups. This is America. They're certainly free to do and express what they feel their views are ... but do they make an impact on the business? No.''
Mattingley said last year the telemarketing industry contributed $661 billion dollars to the U.S. economy in sales, taxes and jobs.
Mattingley said much of his attention these days is devoted to opposing so-called do-not-call laws.
Under federal law, companies conducting business by telephone are not supposed to call a consumer who has requested to receive no more calls from that seller. But the federal government is considering a proposal that would let consumers call one toll-free number to stop most telemarketing calls.

I saw something on this, believe it or not, on the Daily show when Louis Black was pointing out government pork projects. I guess there's a booklet you can get that has a ton of these same ridiculous projects, funded by the government and sucking the tax dollars out of our pockets.

The Con's blind, mindless malice grows out of one thing:the
fear of difference.
Oh, we can be mindless drones, who are allowed to be different when the goddamn glass teat tells us to, but if we dress different, assert some vestige of original personality, or our displeasure with the mainstream, God forbid (that's the nice, safe, prepackaged in a nice sunday white smock God, not the all encompassing, I-don't-give-a-shit-about-different-religions-because-their-really-aren't-any God(dess), who might actually make some SENSE.
I carry the Freak Flag and let it fly because fuckers like these religious know-it-all bastards made what little childhood I had miserable, and I was too weak and alone to resist them. Not now. Now, I say, let's sneak into the bastards houses at night and chloroform them. When they wake, their walls will be painted black with pictures of Ozzy Ozbourne biting the head off of Jerry Fallwell, and the bastards will all be dressed in black pvc pajamas with their privates pierced connected with chains to their noses. Let them feel what it's like when they wander out and try to communicate their feelings, and WE don't let them, because they don't fit in with US!
There, I feel much better now.
Regards,
Rev.Geo

Yeah I thought that was funny. I always liked the hillbilly
episode. Nesmith: "These are MY people..."
Ah, I donno about Mike, he broke up the group when his mom invented white-out and he figured that he didn't have to work as one of the Monkees anymore or something.. But he did invent MTV off of the concept of Monkees video/sitcom episodes. I don't watch much of MTV anymore though. I used to watch Beavis & Butthead, and Daria.
In a way, we have "King of the Hill" because Nesmith broke up the Monkees, so maybe he's payed us back just a bit. *G*
