Title: The Dream of a Ridiculous Man
Category: full of life
Blog Entry: The point ain't to eat, drink, and be merry, but get off your ass and DO everything you can to spread the word, like the doctor at the end of Invasion of the Body Snatchers.

We HAVE this site. There are maybe humdreds like it. Every industry has a trade association, which deals with issues like this. We need to get with ALL the other site owners and realize that you are NOW in touch with everyone, and we CAN take the world back from the CEO's & Congressmen. We absolutely CAN. And like I said, it ain't a matter anymore of whether we've got the gutts. At SOME point, even a coward sticks up his fists and fights for his life. Go watch an old classic, Meet John Doe with Gary Cooper. That was done back in the Forties, and they awready KNEW that the press controls us through controlling what we know. But thankfully there are people at universities and here and there who find out what's happening and let the world know. Aren't you old enough to remember when Daniel Ellsberg leaked The Pentagon Papers and went to jail for it? I told you: California Monthly, which you can get yourself, in October published an open admission by the Pentagon that we WILL be nuked here within five years! I ain't bulshitting. They ain't bullshitting. YOU ARE BULLSHITTING YOURSELVES if you think you can't do anything about it! Then you DESERVE to fry!

Read Camus: What Can the Artist Do in the World of Today, and Orwell, Why I Write. There IS a social responsibility to a talent or position. I have more than once stopped a woman yanking a kid through a department store and grabbed her the same way she had her kid's arm twisted, and once dragged one such creature to security and had the police take her and her kid to figure out the bruises on him.

I sent this letter to Craig Newman, the founder of Craig's List, who now runs its foundation. His first response was playing dumb, "Huh?" After the third distillation, he tried to pull on me that it was beyond their foundation jurisdiction. Y'know, you get a nitch. I shamed him, man. NOT good enough. We gotta take Trump and Iacocca out and shame 'em, the way Michael Moore did the president of GM. Only there are enough of us to shame ALL the assholes now. I told you: I've got a screenplay. WHAT could be funnier than some Donald Trump and Lee Iacocca lookalike contest winners and Robin Williams and Billy crystal for real racing to be the first to get it all done, so they could go down in eternity as THE SECOND COMING? Jesus Christ as comedian. WHY NOT? NOTHING sacrilegious about it! WHO would love it more than Jesus, if everybody took the world back NOW the way he tried to and got stewed for it? Do you know ANYONE who wouldn't pay $10 to see the movie, at least? Well, I've tried for 25 years to make the movie, and no one will, so I figure maybe it'd be easier just straightening out the world. Put your fucking drinks down, wake up, and get your dukes up, Dudes & Dolls! Let's go kick some ass!
