Yesterday I had my passport out to show a young trainee that<br>
I was actually an Amerikan citizen. Riding on the #6 bus<br>
in Zhongguancun (Beijing's electronics tech area) i <br>
read in surreal Capital letters at the top of the 1st page:<br>
<br>
<blockquote>...AND THAT GOVERNMENT OF<br>
THE PEOPLE, BY THE PEOPLE, FOR THE PEOPLE,<br>
SHALL NOT PERISH FROM THE EARTH.<br>
Abraham Lincoln.<br>
</blockquote>
It's not like reading 1984 interpolating some Philip K. Dick story,<br>
Shelley, Ginsberg, Benet, Proctor, and Dylan's Tarantula. <br>
It's like living it.<br>
<br>
2 vast and trunkless legs of stone...<br>
the crime against people that be ranked alongside <br>
doctors teachers bankers...against a <br>
buick...buick...he retched...<br>
Moloch!...we must build again...<br>
<br>
What a bald-assed lie, Mr. Lincoln. <br>
<br>
O, Captain? My Captain is Captain Kangaroo.<br>
Get your foot off my neck, you creepy-ass cracker.<br>
<br>
<blockquote type="cite">...should the people of your race be colonized,
and where? Why should they leave this country? This is, perhaps, the
first question for proper consideration. You and we are different
races. We have between us a broader difference than exists between
almost any other two races. Whether it is right or wrong I need not
discuss, but this physical difference is a great disadvantage to us
both, as I think your race suffer very greatly, many of them by living
among us, while ours suffer from your presence. In a word we suffer on
each side. </blockquote>
- Abraham Lincoln, "Address on Colonization to a Deputation of
Negroes", August 14, 1862.<br>
<br>
Here's the deal, y'all go to Liberia, <br>
or how about to central amerika and dig coal.<br>
<br>
<blockquote type="cite">Coal land is the best thing I know of with
which to commence an enterprise.
To return, you have been talked to upon this subject, and told that a
speculation is intended by gentlemen, who have an interest in the
country, including the coal mines.</blockquote>
- I Bid. (thee farewell. amscray.)<br>
<br>
<br>
Meanwhile I'm going to not to Texas, <br>
but to hang out with my homies <br>
and become a faux paper martyr<br>
and the greatest precedent, I mean president.<br>
