Of course, isn't that the point of the "Hey XXX" letters where you exagerrate some element of reality into fiction,

I wasn't.

Is that bad?

Look back on what you wrote.  You made fiction, but it's the same sentiment. 
Isn't it all too plausible?

You grabbed them meme underlying them, but can you smell the filth behind it yet?

Anyone ever think about how Richter inhabits the same reality as you and just scream and scream and scream, but in a good way?   :lulz:

This is good shit. GOOD.

We are living in the Strange Times.

A question; has anyone done a crazy-ass biblical-style interpretation of the PD to figure out exactly when Bureaucracy ends and Aftermath begins, and would the Strange Times be an indication of the end of Bureaucracy? Because if they haven't, I'm saying we need to Lo5 it to match up with December 23, 2012.

Being aware of your surroundings can be hazardous if you live in a sick society.  Being UNAWARE can be WORSE, because our culture will still drive you mad, but you won't see it happening until it's too late.

Well as I said earlier in the thread, I don't think the "filth" is anything new.

People used to pray, and now we blog. Church groups and coffee mornings used to be a primary form of information exchange, now we post funny pictures on forums.

What is new is that we have a chance of combining and amplifying these otherwise lost wishes and desires and thoughts into something concrete. The question I have is will this be better than what came before it? Because it's coming soon - gosh darn, there's plenty of money to be made in doing so.

I think you're mistaken, FP.  I'm old enough to remember a time when things were different.  Still crazy, but not AS crazy.

Pack up your troubles in your old kit bag... I see people expressing commonality of values in different ways, with little more effort than dictated by community minimum. Why go to Church when you can buy a prius, if it's more effective at informing your neighbours as to your beliefs?

Unless you are referring to a filth that I am too deeply mired in to see.

Just wait, FP...you're fairly new to this, at least by some standards.  The longer you look, the more you'll see, and you can't ever, ever UN-SEE it.  The rabbit hole is deep, and the characters aren't as benign as Lewis Carrol portrayed them.  There's some really awful shit down there, FP - there's some laughs, too, don't ever forget that - and you have to decide whether or not you really want to look. 

But you already made that decision.  You can't un-decide it.  Buckle up.

The craziness has, indeed, ramped up at an astonishing and kind of entertaining rate, and it's continuing to do so.

Someone tell Warren Ellis to get out of the director's studio, please.

Somehow, the horrormirth pic no longer carries enough weight for my response.

Don't forget the Facebook Causes application, where you can let your friends know that you are doing SOMETHING about IMPORTANT STUFF.  Do you want to help cure breast cancer, stop animal abuse, stop global warming, or keep CHRIST in Christmas?  There's an app for that.

Here's one I made, but I'm not sure if it will help.
I will answer ANY prayer for $39.95.*

*Unfortunately, I cannot give refunds in the event that the answer is no.
