I just had a vision of the scene at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport as plane-load after plane-load of bath-crazed females crowd into the concourses and espresso bars, their overnight bags, panniers, rucksacks, and fanny packs rubbing and scrapping, creating a harsh continuo in counterpoint the higher-pitched murmurings, laughter, and occasional shrieks as would-be bathers compete for taxis and creme rinse. Finally, amidst the confused jostlings, a new sense of purpose, of unity, of solidarity begins to ignite this batho-phrenetic congeries into a bath-talion that makes its motto "Fuck it, let's get wet, let's get going." They form their orderly ranks and swing out onto passenger loading zones where they commandeer every bus, airporter, shuttle, and limousine in sight to begin the final stage of the final assault. At this point, the vision faded as an unexpected guest was admitted to my presence.-- Frank Maloney

All goverments suffer a recurring problem: Power attracts pathalogical personalities. It is not that power corrupts but that it is magnetic to the corruptible. Such people have a tendency to become drunk on violence, a condition to which they are quickly addicted.-- Frank Herbert
"What makes resisting temptation difficult, for many people, is that they don't want to discourage it completely."-- Franklin P. Jones
Americans like to talk about (or be told about) Democracy but, when put to the test, usually find it to be an "inconvenience." We have opted instead for an authoritarian system *disguised* as a Democracy. We pay through the nose for an enormous joke-of-a-government, let it push us around, and then wonder how all those assholes got in there.-- Frank Zappa
"The strongest man in the world is he who stands alone."-- Henrik Ibsen
"It is common sense to take a method and try it. If it fails admit it frankly and try another. But above all, try something."
