Don't pay Submitting means that i would be controlled, and control by anything, even chaos, is control all the same. In defeat, i am victorious and all that rot. And it's not just human nature. It's animal nature, and Kergelian nature, and pretty much everything. Perhaps submission is the wrong term. By refusing to submit to CONTROL, you are releasing CONTROL's grip on you, and freeing your time. There is no chaos per se, chaos is just a term for freedom from CONTROL. Even though you may not be submitting to the control of another, by resisting choas you are simply submitting to CONTROL with a capital K, and that will eat your time as surely as another. I would like to recommend William Burrough's _Ah_Pook_is_Here_, if you can find it. Dig: Question: If Control's control is absolute, why does Control need to control? Answer: Control needs time. Exactly control needs time in which to exercise control just as DEATH needs time in which to kill. If DEATH killed everyone at birth or control installed electrodes in their brains at birth there would be no time in which to kill or control. Question: Is Control controlled by its need to control? Answer: Yes.

It's been a while since I've read it, but I do recall an "oracle" that is very Cut-Up-esque. - -Philip Flores philipf@acbc.com [O] You received this message because you are subscribed to the-edge [0] To (un)subscribe, send a message to majordomo@robin.ml.org with body of [O] (un)subscribe the-edge ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 19 Mar 1998 13:36:29 -0800 (PST) From: Michael Bowman Subject: [The Edge] Cloaks Has Cloaks come out yet?
