Dear John, my experiments, most of the time, I think, take into 
consideration the possibility of escapism. I follow D&G's advice on the 
drug assemblage spoken of in ATP. I believe that the drug assemblage 
allows one to forclose the plane, itself an escapism, which is netiehr 
right nor wrong. Stone-cold sober has its advantages when one wants to 
counter-actualize. The t-shirt experiment has thus far has  been 
delicious. Wearing it to the community feeding was nice, yet the little 
machine really takes off when worn around a university, especially since 
the library catalog here gives "lost" as the status of the very book I'm 
advertising on my body. There are book burnings still going on, yet 
today they are selective. The selective genocide machine is also in 
place. Will it gather momentum? What a relief it is to need very little. 
It seems to free the mind for other things. The cartoon magnifies 
itself, though, as I see people scurrying for xmas, it's such a neurotic 
time of year. My situation is not completely a chosen experiment: my 
hepatitus decreases greatly my ability to do physical work, coupled with 
hypoglycemia(low blood sugar), it is said that those types deserve 
hospitalization. Well, many others deserve it far more than I and they 
are not being taken care of. And what about me?...I ask this...yet it is 
not just for me that I do my "little pranks"(de Certeau).  It is also 
for those bruised wrecks that I have known that the system would rather 
have disappear than deal with. Capitalism has few solutions for those 
yet they are just as much a product of the monster as any other. But 
those folks may not have a clue avout how this motherfucker operates. I 
do.
