Kurt Vonnegut wrote a novel about a banned religion that everyone secretly practiced.
It involved putting your soles together with another person. It's done barefoot. Not a bad ritual, really.
Helped that it was illegal. Gave it some punch it wouldn't have had otherwise.

Re: guns 2
seriously?
Holy shit, Arth.
That barely computes.
What about pea shooters?

Re: Religion, of course
There are times when irrational behavior becomes rational.
Like when someone does a heroic thing that they don't survive.
It makes sense, to me, why people are acting all crazy.
Why dogs chase cars. Why we die. Why there is mystery, always.

Re: is rock and roll really dead this time?
I've been digging out old rock and roll equipment; man cave strewn with patch cords and little amps...been away from electric stuff for a long spell, so it's pretty new for now. My hands have changed but the guitars are mostly the same. Except this: My neglected electric guitar has a hole right thro...

Re: Life's better moments.
You're hard to please, sparky. (Thought I was answering your question.) I'm still smoking weed, btw. Actually considering quitting that, too. I've been too stoned lately. When i smoked tobacco, a puff or two of weed would be enough for a day. Now it's morphing into a tobacco substitute. And it's fre...

Re: Religion, of course
Political divides seem to work as well as religious divides. And to some extent, opinions about unsettled science can cause some flared passions. I'm pretty cynical about AI. From the looks of it so far, AI seems to mostly focus on conflict or sex. As an extension of our own intelligence, it's likel...

Re: Mad, Bad, and Sad: Global
Yeah, I don't think I'll shed any tears for the demise of genital crabs. Not that they'll disappear, anyway. I'm sure they're as rife as ever in the 3rd world. I've heard otherwise. Crab lice are now an endangered species. side note: Christ, i was just reading up on the subject and I'm shocked to h...

Re: guns 2
when i was a ten year old boy, we fellas carried a slingshot in our back pocket. It was a cool look. We made the weapons ourselves and found the ammo. I never did, but you could kill a squirrel or rabbit with this old technology. A good one will take down a bear. Then there's blow darts...never got ...
