The illusion of limitlessness

by Jaya on Jul.22, 2010, under Web Posts

“Death is always on the way, but the fact that you don’t know when it will arrive seems to take away the finiteness of life. It’s that terrible precision that we hate so much. But because we don’t know, we get to think of life as an inexhaustible well. Yet everything happens only a certain number of time, and a very small number, really. How many more times will you remember a certain afternoon of your childhood, some afternoon that’s so deeply a part of your being that you can’t even conceive of your life without it? Perhaps four or five times more. Perhaps not even that. How many more times will you watch the full moon rise? Perhaps twenty. And yet it all seems limitless.”
~Paul Bowles, “The Sheltering Sky”, Chapter XXIV

The Cummings Razor – Equality

by San Jaya Prime on Jul.14, 2010, under Email Posts

No law can be passed nor grant given to (or against) any individual or their property unless this same law or grant applies to all people. This is the spirit (if not the letter) of the Cummings Razor. It was created by Ron Cummings (aka, Pappy), who passed it on to Tristan and I. It is a single mandate that guarantees a true state of equality when enforced. Because true equality isn’t desired by almost all people, this mandate may never see the light of day. It is especially applicable at this very moment, as immigration has become the medias new “hot topic”. If the new immigration bill passed by Arizona is truly not racist, then the law should apply to every citizen of Arizona (requiring all to carry identification and submit to additional questioning or risk imprisonment). Naturally, citizen watchdog groups would pop up to report officers who didn’t ask for their papers so that the racists would be dealt with. But, again, neither side wants this. The bill would have never passed had it applied to all citizens.
