Re: If might always made right, we'd all be in trouble
There is a somewhat dangerous historical misprision here. The paradox of American power is not that America has been a Global Policeman, and rather that it has not. The problem is that America is not an Empire, not that it is one. The C.I.A (an organization which should be extirpated as soon as possible) is an exemplification of the Isolationist equation: Inaction=Negative Action. It has managed to protect and uphold Nothing. The United States is not a superpower, not a...

'Hymen, Hymenee, why do you tantalize me thus? O, why do you last only for a single moment? Why can you not continue? Is it because, if you were to last beyond that moment, it would surely kill me?' (The Goddess of Marriage employed as a synecdoche for the Supreme Communion of the Self with the Self; All Love is an Allegory of Masturbation). It's a bit of a banality, nowadays, to presuppose a distinction between Love and Lust; that difference is a Vapor. Your Libido has as...

'The red sun of Desire and Decision, the two things one requires to make a live world, rose higher and higher...whiles upon a succession of balconies, a succession of libertines, sparkling glass in hand, toasted the bliss of Past and future nights' 'To see what the eye has never seen, hear what the ear has never heard!'---Tertullian the Antinomian Genesis is a fine enough confutation of the really ludicrous proposition which holds that Man and Beast are one and the...

'I don't know if iqbalicarus has felt such love..' What a feeble attempt at churlishness; What you're describing isn't complex; it is burlesque, a farce on humanity. The old Monastic Poets had one thing right: they apprehended Christian love through the tropes of 'a disease of the mind.' Don't you see how ludicrous the effusion, 'I love thee,' is? You don't even have access to a 'Thou'; all that you apprehend is a...

Evidently, a highly intelligent and literate conversation that I was having with Dooshby has been expunged from the Boards. It is interesting that his engaging and inviting encomium for my work (his first epistle to me; what a great guy!) has not also been deleted. But if the expurgated conversation was far too cerebral for this discussion board, then Doosbhy's original letter would surely need to be omitted as well. It is a supererogation of Dooshby's peculiar genius.
