some gems from Robert Anton Wilson's website

The government accordingly spends more and more of our tax money financing "faith-based organizations." Without faith we might relapse into scientific or rational thinking, which leads by a slippery slope toward constitutional democracy.

Just as the War Against Drugs would make some kind of sense if they honestly called it a War Against Some Drugs, I regard Dubya's current Kampf as a War Against Some Terrorists. I may remain wed to that horrid heresy until he bombs CIA headquarters in Langtry.

DO NOT ADJUST YOUR MIND:
IT IS REALITY THAT IS MALFUNCTIONING

I'm in the middle of reading "Brave New World", so the concept of the government spending money on religion doesn't bother me as much as it probably should. :D

Hey, that's one on my list that I've never got to reading. How is it?

So far it's pretty good. The book is your typical 1950's satirical dystopia, but has some interesting things in it. The "science" isn't too far removed from reality, so it's a bit scary too. ;)

You like RAW?! Damn, you just jumped a few notches up my 'cool' meter. ;-) I own, I think, all the books he's written - fiction and non-fiction. Seriously good stuff.

Oh, and Brave New World is a really cool book.

Ooh, I've only read the Illuminatus trilogy and various related works (Principia Discordia, Subgenious material, etc), but other RAW stuff is on my list to get ahold of. I've a friend who STRONGLY recommends the quantum psychology book.

I need to unpack more of my books. I have The Schroedinger's Cat Trilogy, The Illuminati Papers, etc, the other fiction. I also have his non-fiction books like Cosmic Trigger, Ishtar Rising, Quantum Psychology. It has been nearly 10 years since I read most of them, I should reread them. But I'd be happen to loan them to you.

Well I'm currently in the middle of two loaner book series and one loaner anime series, so I should finish those before obtaining any more of other people's property ;) That, and those pesky papers I should write to graduate...
