The rich get richer and the poor get poorer?
Not sure about the poor getting poorer but the difference between CEOs pay vs their employers rose by nearly 700-800% in the late 90s. That is for every dollar an average Joe earned, the CEOs took home $800.

Shortly before noon I got a phone call from my boss telling me that a co-worker who had asthma, had suddenly and unexpectedly gotten an asthma attack and died of asphyxiation the night before. She was at home, had gone downstairs to get something while the rest of the family was upstairs, and had left her inhaler behind. After hanging up, I remembered the lyrics to the chorus of the song which was still playing loudly in my mind. eerie.

It both emboldens the blood, just as it narrows the mind. And when the drums of war have reached a fever pitch and the blood boils with hate and the mind has closed, the leader will have no need in seizing the rights of the citizenry. Rather, the citizenry, infused with fear and blinded by patriotism, will offer up all of their rights unto the leader and gladly so. How do I know? For this is what I have done. And I am Caesar.�

Mark Thomas. I never thought we would actually intersect but the possibility that we were both out there, on the Eastern Seaboard romaing around, probably both hooking up with I-95 at some point, made it fun to imagine. Anyway, I did see someone who resembled Mark Thomas somewhat, at 10:30 p.m. at the Royal Farms Citgo station above Painter and about 5 miles from Nelsonia Va. He had a week's growth of beard, hair hanging in his eyes, a little bit more paunch than I would have liked to believe. He was leaning in the doorway drinking a Slurpee, talking to a younger man with a shaved head, and holding a large stick (like a sapling trunk without the bark). I must have looked at him a second too long because he looked back at me with a surprised look for a minute. When he walked, he didn't really limp and the stick, which was as tall as he was, seemed to be excessive. In the parking lot light, the light in his hair and beard turned out to be grey, not gold, and when he left, he got in a gold-toned van with the younger man; as they drove away I saw a woman's face at the driver's seat, her features etched with a edge of severity.

I'm enclosing a picture
of myself at last week's
62nd Annual
Motorcycle Rally in
Sturgis, S.D., so you
can see what's going
on. Obviously, you have
many fans here at
People for the Ethical
Treatment of Animals
(PETA). That's why, on
behalf of our more than
750,000 members and
supporters worldwide,
we're asking if you'll
consider using your
mettle�and your
metal�to riff against
animal abuse. We've
done our market
research, and we're
serious when we say
that headbangers with
a heart would love to
hear you update the
lyrics of your song "Hell
Bent for Leather" to
"Hell Bent for Pleather".
With so many rocking
alternatives to leather,
even the baddest men
on two wheels know
that animals don't
belong in a "Killing
Machine"�kicked in
the face, forced down
the ramp with an
electric prod to the man
who slits their throats
and turns them into
leather jackets, pants,
and boots. Much of the
leather sold in the U.S.
comes from overseas,
where we've
videotaped cows being
violently beaten and
suffering from wounds
and broken bones from
extreme overcrowding
in transport trucks. Did
you know that dog skin
from countries where
dogs are eaten for food
is marked "cowhide"
for Western export
purposes? And an
investigation into one
of the good old U.S.A.'s
largest
slaughterhouses
showed cows being
trampled, dragged,
rammed in the mouth
with electric shock
prods, and
dismembered, all
while fully conscious.
I'm enclosing that
footage.
The wide selection of
synthetic leather gear
now available�see
PleatherYourself.com
�means that today's
"rebels with a cause"
won't have any trouble
keeping skins off their
shins.
Animals don't have a
voice, so they can't be
"Screaming for
Vengeance", which is
why we ask that as you
finish up your current
tour, you leave the
hides behind and
encourage your
legions of fans to get
"Hell Bent for Pleather"
from now on. Feel free
to contact me if you
have any questions or
would like more
information. Thank you
for your time and
attention. I hope to hear
from you soon.
Very truly yours,
Lisa Franzetta,
Coordinator

- thinking i've lived too, too much.
i'm at a hotel in fayetteville, NC. walking through the lobby i see 2 guys checking in. one guy looks about my age, the other guy looks about 60 or so. from the coats and ties and briefcases i gather they are business partners of some sort.
the check-in clerk is explaining to the men that there is a free continental breakfast in the lobby in the morning until 10:00 am. that's when the older guy slaps the younger guy on the back and yells "I HAVE SEEN THE CONTINENTAL BREAKFAST AT THIS HOTEL AND IF YOU CAN NOT FIND SOMETHING TO EAT AT THAT FREE BREAKFAST THAN YOU .... " he pauses and is at a loss for words but he keeps on keepin' on .... "THEN YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO EAT! THEY GOT EGGS AND YOGURT AND CEREAL! ALL KINDS OF CEREAL, AND MILK. AND JUICE!"
that guy just carried on and on and on describing every detail of the continental breakfast menu, and i got the feeling that one of the high points of his life was the last time he partook of the free continental breakfast at this hotel.
and i said right outloud "i've lived too much" and i felt really sorry for the guy, because when i heard the check-in clerk describing the free continental breakfast my automatic reaction was to think of how much i hate the free continental breakfast at hotels along America, because any time i've partaken of the free continental breakfast delights i feel like i've walked in to a gathering of people who have never had it so good as to have at their disposal free apples and orange juice and plastic forks and crappy coffee.

- I just got the high score on Ms. Pac Man in the hotel lobby here in Alexandria, VA, blowing away the previous high score by over 100,000 points. Damn, I'm good.
Still thinking about a sign I saw today on an Interstate in Virginia. It said "Speed limit enforced by radar and other electrical devices."
Electrical? Are they using clock radios and blenders to enforce speed limits in this state?
It's just fascinating.

Platypus is:
- moonit--because not all members of peta are dumb.
Hell, sometimes they even throw paint at each other!
Poor PETA. It's given itself such a bad name. Hated by so many...yet trying for a good cause.
I wonder if the other electrical devices were tested on animals? Maybe PETA should zoom on down there and find out.

- back in NYC. and planning to be anywhere but here for the first annual 9/11 festivities. i think i'm gonna hop a jetblue to some other town for that week.
damn, i've got a lot to do. places to go, people to see, hearts to break. and something tells me it's all going to happen right here on this spot, in my living room.
i bought a bottle of Florida Grapefruit Wine at an "Old Florida" gift shop off the turnpike. wondering what it tastes like...
this place is a mess. it looks like i just moved in. boxes and piles of LP records everywhere. how did this happen? who cares? i'm out of water! it's hot in here! someone do something!

Platypus is:
- Back from another date with nerveboy. He is awfully cute. Still on trial, but I think I'll make a firm decision this weekend, in honor of labour everywhere. Or something. Anyway, we ate at Shen Hua, which is a totally rad Chinese resturant.
And then we made out while leaning against someone's garbage cans. True, unadulterated style.
I'm also reading www.myboot.com
It's hot here, and I'm not out of water, yet, but austrailian farmers are, and they're being invaded by emus. The Chronicle says.
I just did laundry, too, so everything smells all clean and minty fresh. Perhaps not literally, but yes. Yum, laundry. I love that fresh warm dryer smell. I could roll in it for days.

sorabji is:
- you know, while driving back here i listened to "The Rising" over and over and over. and there'a song on there called "Nothing Man." it's really a nice song, more or less about a fireman's feelings about surviving 9/11 while his partners died (i say more or less because the song was written in 1994, but whatever) ... anyway, it's a nice song, but i'm walking around the apartment and singing it and the refrain comes out as "I am the Muffin Man" and it just kinda loses its meaning, you know?

- I've just signed up to take a class at my church on the history of Catholicism in North America. It sounds very interesting, and I found out that the class will have about 20 people in it, and there is a great variety among the students. There will be a physician, research chemist, psychologist, elementary school teacher, old retired people, stay-at-home mothers, etc. And me.
It runs from September 15 to April 15, and we'll be reading three books.
I can't wait! I miss learning new things in a school setting.

- reading a current article in the Gambit:
"I am a rock, I am an Island."
"The other day I perused Half.com in search of more memory for my digicam, and a blurb on the site said, "people who bought this item also bought 'Sex and the City,' which is actually a book. I saw no connection."
would like to quote more of the article under News or 'what have you read lately .'
thanks for the podium Mark.
