Date: Thu, 29 Aug 1996 13:09:33 -0700 From: biomorph-AT-ix.netcom.com (Wm. Dubin) Subject: revolting life equals death Some of us live in the post-apocolypse. I wish it were my term, its not, it is the title of a book by Adam Parfrey.(Not a very good book, and written to titilate the bourgeouis), but it did give some their first read-on Necrophillia, and their first knowledge of Hermann Nitsch. However, the title, and what what it means if I use it, to say SOME OF US LIVE IN THE POST APOCOLYPSE... makes it worth appropriating. Frank admits the world seems to be not so good... but the world of Copenhagen must be WONDERFUL, at its worst, when compared to Calcutta, or East Los Angeles, or Houston, or Chicago, or New York... and I haven't even THOUGHT about Bosnia, nor Chesnia, nor major tracts of land in Africa and Asia.... Yes, our rather PRIVELEDGED world (and, as we sit utilizing these rather expensive toys whose purchase-price might have equaled food for a year in some living holes on this earth, we DO enjoy our (many) momments of life, as Frank has pointed out. But those for whome the enjoyment lessens each year, grow greater in number, and as they grow more desperate, their solutions take on degree's of radicalism far beyond the nursery-school run by Torquemada or the summer camp activities of Eichmann. The woman in Chicago, who sliced a pregrant womans belly open and removed her fetus, because she wanted a baby of her own (accomplised by some of her relatives), is but the beginning. We are in a fucking war! As Pierre correctly points out, the vast majority of murders (or of most other mayhem other than the joys of car crashes), occurr between people who know and LOVE each other (yes, I apologize, Pierre, I embroidered that a bit).AND, please read CRASH by J.G. Ballard for further rewards re:the joys of car crashes... But MY murder, and the murder Celine is celebrating are GRATATOUS... they live in Hitchcocks "Strangers on a Train" and more so, in Camue's "The Stranger".... they are the murder's committed simply as daliance. Richard Dadd (GREAT Victorian painter...) had a list of some 400 important people (heads of state, etc) in his pocket. While riding a train through Europe, he decided that if he first saw the rising sun through one side of the train-car, rather than the other, he would kill all these individuals. Richard Dadd was a GREAT artist, I believe he would have made a great murderer also. And so, lets take murder to its next step...AN ART FORM... forget the John Wayne Gacye's and Jeffery Daumers, how about Giles De Rays... lets get REAL! Violence is the habitat of the artist, its our birth-right. It is simply to easy, or to convienant to pass this back to Neitsche. (Sorry, I have to stop this at this moment... I'll try to pick it up later). Wm.
