You no longer got what I need
Don't want you now, baby off of your knees
It's time to go...I had a good time
You drove me nuts now I'm goin' out of my mind
Lyrics from Lethal Sex © 2003 TEMPERED EDGE Slip Into Never.
IT'S GLOBAL! Big Al queries: "If scientists all over the world can spend thirty years and billions of dollars studying fruit-fly Drosophila "SEX-LETHAL (Sxl)" pussies why is there so little effective research being accomplished to combat the most devasting LETHAL SEX PLAGUE of modern times, the evil AIDS, with no answers in sight?" Alive and Well founder Christine Maggiore and Big Al's old buddy Nobel Laureate Kary Mullis, Ph.D have co-authored the revised, updated and expanded fourth edition of What If Everything You Thought You Knew About AIDS Was Wrong?, a kick-mass 125 page treatise, required reading for all.
Dr. Mullis writes: "As Leonard Cohen said: 'There's a crack in everything. That's how the light gets in.' This little opus by Christine Maggiore is a crack of brilliant white light. It comes brightly unto a parched pain of AIDS science gone dark in our time. She writes clearly, for any reader, the simple truth about AIDS. And finally it feels like rain. You guys at NIH and the CDC, get out your umbrellas. And you dry dogs at Glaxo-Wellcome, find a place to hide. Because, thank truth and beauty and all the other little quarks, at last it feels like rain."
This past January 14, the Foo Fighters performed a benefit concert for Alive & Well AIDS Alternatives at The Palace in Hollywood, sponsored by KROQ, Southern California's top music radio station.
. . .It was July 18, 1944. A fly began buzzing around the famous conference bunker destined to be wrecked just two days later by an assassin's bomb. The fly landed on Hitler's shoulder several times as he stooped over battle maps. He irritably swatted at it and missed, while his adjutants began to snicker. . . Hitler was ill at ease and he exclaimed, "Nothing must happen to me now, because there is nobody else who could take over!" Hitler had premonitions of trouble and commented uneasily, "There is something in the air. . ."
. . .It was July 18, 1944 and there was something in the air. . . The fly was in the ointment, a pair of golden whales were in await to guide her on the GOLDEN PATH. She arrived in a jeweled machine fueled by irridescent crystals, accompanied by her spectral guardians. Dane Rudhyer read her astrological chart without knowing even gender of the subject. The sun in Cancer was rising in Cancer and the moon was new in Cancer. Mr. Rudhyer's comments, parsed here, went something like "Oh shit, this one's a piece of work, wouldn't wish it on anyone, glad it ain't mine, watch out world, itsa motherfucker!" Her mother had been saying the same (watch out world) for years. THAT STILL GOES YA'LL...WATCH OUT WORLD!
"Love, Love o brothers and sisters
Ain't nothing better than the ganja of love
Time, Time is short now mister
Get out the way and let me have my puff."
Lyrics from Ganja of Love © Marty Balin 1995 JEFFERSON STARSHIP Deep Space/Virgin Sky, RCA.
For those of you who know, blah blah, blah blah blah. For those of you who don't know, put THIS in your pipe and smoke it. As for ya'll pill-poppin' junkies, swallow THIS, with a coupla (or more) stiff, double-slugs of your favourite booze. JA man. Then, stagger out to your bigass vehicle "BAV," get behind the wheel, and proceed to kill or maim some unsuspecting citizen, preferably a young one with beauty, brains, and potential who has a M.A.D.D. mother. JA man.
NOTE: Big Val and Big Al do not support the use and or abuse of ANY drug, be it over-the-counter ("OTC"), prescription, legal or illegal, including tobacco and alcohol. CHILDREN are of special concern. For instance, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") approved children's MOTRIN for OTC marketing after being on the prescription market for five years. HOW 'BOUT infants' MOTRIN Ibuprofen oral suspension concentrated dye-free berry flavored drops? M-m-m-m-m. Chewable MOTRIN contains phenylalanine, a neurotoxin if overconsumed excites the neurons in the brain to the point of cellular death. The side effects can be severe and the children's medicine cabinets are full of like OTC drugs...get the little pudders hooked young!
"The more advanced a society is in spirituality, the more is that society or nation civilized."

A traveling robotic geologist, Mars Exploration Rover SPIRIT, landed on Mars in the Gusev Crater at 11:35 p.m. on January 3, 2004. Spirit cruised toward Mars for seven months travelling about 300 million miles. Gusev Crater, named for Russian astronomer Matvei Gusev, is an ancient meteorite impact crater located in the Aesis (tropical) region of Mars. It lies at the outlet of one of the longest valley systems on Mars, Ma'adim Vallis, Arabic for Red Planet, Qabbalistically denoting strength, force and vehemence.
As the buffalo personifies American spirit and the eagle is a symbol of independent spirit, Mars Exploration Rover SPIRIT represents the indomitable human spirit. Our optimism knows no bounds. We do not simply ask ARE WE ALONE? We search, we collaborate, we teach. The mission of the SETI Institute is to explore, understand and explain the origin, nature and prevalence of life in the universe. The SETI@Home Project, managed by a group of researchers at the Space Sciences Laboratory of the University of California, Berkeley is a scientific experiment that uses Internet-connected computers in the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI). Sir Martin Rees, Astronomer Royal and Royal Society Research Professor at Cambridge University and advanced thinker in the perception and understanding of our universe, ponders the question ARE WE ALONE? ( Big Val doesn't think this Royal Babe is ever alone!)
In the stories of The Martian Chronicals, Ray Bradbury criticizes mankind and its "misapplication of science to avaricious ends." Let's hope that the Mars Exploration Rover SPIRIT is questing Ma'adim Valles for answers to the questions regarding the possiblity of sentient life in the universe and not to ultimately strip our neighboring planets of resources, of harmony, of SPIRIT.
"You could see the storm a comin',
The cloud looked deathlike black,
And through our mighty nation,
It left a dreadful track."

While ya'll are makin' bank spending your entire lives suckin from the system to write massive missives on intense local heating of air common in deserts and resulting instabilities of the air mass such as eolian turbidity currents, you know, dust devils. Cosmic dust devils. at that, interstellar vortexes like the big one that sucked up the entire atmosphere of the planet Mars in 1971 (was a very good year for makin' bank), ya'll just can't see the big one comin'. Big Al loves Mars as much as the next person, but 1971? Come on y'all how relevant is that? How 'bout it took nine seconds to knock out power in the Northeastern United States last month, August 2003. WHY? 'Cause somebody turned on a portable pussy fan to cool it off in the one hundred plus degree heat and BLEW THE TOP OFF THE MOTHER FUCKER. Talk about a vortex. That pussy musta been HOT. It sucked everything there was to suck outta those grids. Yep, one too many hot pussies and there it all goes, the whole deal. And when the lights came back on everybody returned to the intriguing questions of eolian turbidy currents on Mars. YO, ya'll can't see the storm a comin,' it is a desert storm, and whadda waste of hot pussy.
MR. BILLY IDOL IS A ROCK STAR KIDS, A FRACTAL , A QUARK-the Charm (mass = Me V) flavor (quarks come in flavors), A SUPERNOVA...beautiful, punk, natural, sweet, bad-ass, wholesome and fit. Talk about kickin' mass! MR. IDOL's performance at The Norva Monday, September 15th, in Norfolk, Virginia, was a feast for the eyes and the ears. MR. IDOL is a gentleman, and so generous an artist that each woman present believed if MR. IDOL could only glimpse her loveliness, for he made each and every one feel so much lovelier than she was, that she would be wisked away to Avalon. Each man present was stunned at the power and raw sexuality of MR. IDOL but knew MR. IDOL was not in the least interested in his particular woman, and also knew he was definitely going to get laid very soon. MR. IDOL took care of that. Caught for a fleeting moment a little bit of BROADWAY BILLY. Holy shit! Big Al will never forget the first time he saw that gangsta "The Public Enemy" (1931) MR. JAMES CAGNEY tap dancing in the movie Yankee Doodle Dandy (1942). MR. IDOL is in good company for sure, including his lead guitar player. Wow! That kick-ass freak must practice the Well-Tempered Clavier by MR. JOHANN SEBASTIAN BACH every day of his freaked out life. Each came to take a little piece from the SUPERNOVA but were thwarted...MR. IDOL surprised them one and all and gave himself entirely, completely, joyfully, effortlessly...Mrs. Broad, you surely must be proud!
THERE WERE TWO who stood in the shadows, chose not to be seen, were not seen. She, a Sufi mistress, dressed in French lace and leather, noir lace slippers bowed in satin and a ruby iron cross choker. He, a tall beautiful boy, an Adept, wearing a Stetson bowler and a sarong. They both wore meteors. His, roughly hewn on copper wire; hers, a perfect orb encased in a finely crafted platinum miniature Time Machine fueled by a tiny glowing crystal. He wore an X on his hand to signify his age. The crowd whispered "he wasn't even born when...". THE TWO, composed in their protective space, basked in MR. IDOL all night long. He with the frolicking intensity of youth, she in quiet contemplation all eyes without a face, oblivious to their own beauty but certainly not to his. They left as invisibly as they came, he to skin his snakes she to mend her broken heart, so alone. THANK YOU MR. IDOL.

In Native American teachings, Turtle is the oldest symbol for Mother Earth and the name Turtle Island refers to the concept that she bears the entire earth on her back. Her carapace features thirteen plates, each of which represent one of thirteen moons that make up an entire year. Turtles are an ancient vertebrate animal, living on Earth for 175,000,000 years. Huge sea turtles populated the ancient sea which covered South Dakota millions of years ago.
Hopi prophecy contends the first brother and sister human beings returning to them would come as turtles across the land. The time came for the Hopis to welcome the turtles early one morning at sunrise and across the desert and they saw the Spanish Conquistadors advancing, covered in armour, like turtles across the land. The Hopis extended their hands in greeting; into their hands the Spanish dropped trinkets. Word quickly spread through North America that hard times were on the horizon. Obviously, some brothers and sisters had forgotten the sacredness of all things living and and it was prophecized this transgression would result in global suffering for all human beings. LOOK'S LIKE THEY GOT THAT RIGHT!
Three of nine Mohawk chiefs (Between Two Worlds, He Combs His Hair, and Words of Equal Height) are of the Turtle Clan. Presently, Mohawk artists are inspired by the culture and traditions of their past, the Turtle being an integral element. TOO BAD WE'VE PRETTY MUCH ANNIHILATED THE REAL THING!
"Where do we go from here?
There's something in the sky
Time, Time is short now mister
Shining in the light...
Spinning and far away"
Lyrics from Earthling © David Bowie 1997.
"Generations to come, it may be,
will scarce believe that such a one as this
ever in flesh and blood walked upon this earth."
Albert Einstein on Gandhi.
MOHANDUS (MAHÂTMÂ) GANDHI said that the root of every VIOLENCE or CONFLICT is UNTRUTH and that the only permanent solution of CONFLICT is TRUTH. Consequently, to resolve conflicts, he conceived of a novel technique which he called SATYAGRAHA. Literally it means SATYA (TRUTH) with AGRAHA (FIRMNESS) or, [Sanskrit: HOLDING TO TRUTH], acts of CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE marked by Indian tradition and his own high moral standards and sense of self-discipline. Perhaps the most influential exposition of the philosophy behind civil disobedience can be found in Henry David Thoreau's classic On the Duty of Civil Disobedience (1849), in which he claims that the individual, who grants the state its power in the first place, must follow the dictates of conscience in opposing unjust laws.
THOMAS JEFFERSON, founding father and third President of the United States, wrote in the defining document of the American Revolution, The Declaration of Independence, a radical statement of the colonists' right to rebel against the British government and establish their own government based on the premise that "ALL MEN ARE CREATED EQUAL AND HAVE THE INALIENABLE RIGHTS OF LIFE, LIBERTY, AND THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS." DESMOND MPILO TUTU, Bishop of Johannesburg, 1984 Nobel Peace Prize Laureate wrote "If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor. If an elephant has its foot on the tail of a mouse and you say that you are neutral, the mouse will not appreciate your neutrality." Ya'll COP OUTS (Big Val's generation) get ANTI, KICK MASS!
"One world, it's a battleground
One world, and we will smash it down
One world ... One world
The dogs of war don't negotiate
The dogs of war won't capitulate"

Big Al was shocked when he Googled WAR and received 86,200,000 items. That's a lot of WAR. We need go no furher than War Child to sustain that point. But we will. One can play War Games, War Hack, War Blog, visit a War Graves data base, consider the Cost of War, punish Crimes of War, and read The War of The Worlds by H.G. Wells, 1868. We can search War Records and ya'll can even Get Your War On. Last but not least is STAR WARS.
STAR WARS is the most effective WAR recruitment film ever produced. THINK ABOUT IT! Presently, we are involved in the WAR of all WARS, the FINAL CONFLICT. STAR WARS Tattoine is a desert planet, Sandcrawler is a mining vehicle piloted by Jawas, and Qui-Gon Jinn's name Jinn translates from Arabic as genii. Jinn were were powerful creatures of arab myth, often evil. JUST PREPIN' YOU POPCORN EATIN' MERCENARIES. The system President Reagan proposed became known as STAR WARS after the movie because it was meant to destroy missiles from space. LET'S TAKE IT A LITTLE FUTURE KIDS!. Let's take it to the stars 'cause that's where it's going. It's way beyond asteroidal and lunar materials utilization concepts or MARS exploration for the alleged good of humankind. Yep, we're planning those future STAR WARS. That is what primitive, violent beings do; plan and execute WAR. Bastards of the Universe, kids, we got MARS. Look's like we're going to be asking the question "ARE WE ALONE?" for quite some time, ya'll.
