bach Prelude and Fugue No. 8 in E Flat Minor, BWV 853
the poets the writers say we are naturally evil, good is a higher ideological idea touched sometimes; the moralists the religions say we are born of this. there is a light beyond light. waves outside the waves. when things made sound. light made color.

from unknown play:
telephone.
yes hello
-i have your private info, social security number you name it...
*he breaths into phone, waits
-and if you don't give me five thousand dollars i will cause all kinds of trouble and burn your name
prove it
*he listens as the voice reads off nine numbers
-like i said five thousand dollars or you're miserable. comprende?
my friend i should tell you it's a misfortune to find yourself on the telephone with me. i have no concerns about what you can do with my info. i am not afraid, do you understand? ...you're quiet, you understand, you're waiting for what i'm driving at. my friend i have a gun. i will shoot you with it. i won't do this because i care about my life, you understand? i will do this for the simple reason that i own a gun. i know the number of the payphone, what area you live in, and i know your voice. i will hunt you down if you do anything. you will burn the papers and forget i existed. you understand?
-(after a very long silence) yes
ok... you have a nice day.

taxes pajo fisk
tax season:::::
"Let's start with the accounting industry, which rakes in hundreds of millions of dollars a year selling tax shelters. Looking for ways to cash in on the go-go 90s -- and pouncing on an insanely misguided 1991 rule change that allowed accountants to pocket a percentage of the tax money they save a client instead of merely charging an hourly fee -- accounting firms began aggressively devising and marketing complex tax avoidance schemes." www.commondreams.org/views03/0212-09.htm
KPMG saved clients $2.5 billion over 10 years. Company indicted in '05 for $456 mill. Most of those involved off scott-free. See E&Y/Enron for more goodies.

about blackwater (mark this date Jan 29 2008)
"The Congress and our court systems are ill equipped to handle the speed of change. The operational architecture is ancient and failing. Problems are accumulating and the foundations are cracking under the weight. We are now in societal breakdown. Blackwater is intended to protect the rich on American soil as the country slowly fails. That is their primary role.
Once the breakdown occurs people will be submerged in a cauldron of insecurity and hardship. Blackwater will be front and center during the insurrection and the deaths in Iraq represent a vision of what is to come in America. While peoples attitudes and beliefs are being torn apart and reformed in new ways that accurately reflect their new reality, the neo-cons and others will be hell bent on securing power and control in the emerging new vision for America. The Fascist window dressing will disappear and the naked truth will emerge. If the Fascists gain control America will be racked with government torture and terror. Foreign terrorists will gain support and unleash nuclear terrorism on America. The American experiment will be consumed in the heat and flames of nuclear exchange. If this train is to be stopped every person must become engaged now."
