even literary suicide has fad highs and lows
February 2018 strikes me as the time this book feared the most, when subliminal distractions reduced attention spans to conversational snippets altogether without any meaning because extraordinary renditions could shift to concentration-camp restrictions on personal activities. In the dark of night I put a plaque on my door that says Yo freak mania. Being in my apartment is so tomb-like I never want anyone to think I belong somewhere else. That kind of life is not worth being revived for a whole new set of so long I dropped dead a long time ago.In March 2018 I found myself as a token quota point of view on page 84, where dogma seeks to discard aristocratic distinctions based on family, religion, property, race, color, money, and social distinctions that liberals regard as non-rational. Political Socratic method could produce as much hemlock as Athens offered Socrates to get him to stop bothering people. Back on page 81, liberals wanted a global outlook for a world government to prevent war. Allowing borders to become checkpoints for propaganda that opposes the extermination of whatever does not survive our latest weed killing spray poisons sticks brain skewers in drone flight patterns.
