From MorMovies@aol.com Very true, my friend in Barcelona. Who on this list is forced by some imperial corporate storm troopers to eat at McDonalds? I live in New York City and rarely ever go to McDonalds. I have a choice of a seemingly infinite choice of small ethnic restaurants. The U.S. imperalist argument gets so over-simplified and ludicrous. Long live freedom of choice and death to all LIES that reside within every culture (and in my opinion, EVERY culture is 99.9% bullshit!<
Let's see if I get this straight, if every culture is 99.9% bullshit, and this statement is part of a culture that produced it, which it would have to be in order to be uttered in the first place, then there is a 0.1% chance that this statement is true. And if it is the case that this statement is not true, which would be the case 999 times out of a thousand, it would mean that the statement that every culture is 99.9% bullshit is itself bullshit. And if that's the case, then I think we've hit the liar's paradox, which at this point, is becoming music to my ears. ------------------------------------- His face is turned towards the past. Where we preceive a chain of events, he sees one single catastrophe which keeps piling wreckage upon wreckage and hurls it in front of his feet. The angel would like to stay, awaken the dead, and make whole what has been smashed. But a storm is blowing from Paradise; it has got caught in his wings with such violence that the angel can no longer close them. This storm irresistibly propels him into the future to which his back is turned, while the pile of debris before him grows skyward. This storm is what we call progress. --Walter Benjamin on the Angel of History _________________________________________________________________ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com
