[lit-ideas] Just a personal note.

It's 5:15 a.m. here. Police helicopters are circling overhead, Just another morning in Memphis. As much as I love San Fransico, I love Seattle more. It's more homey, more Memphis, sans dimwittedness. I hate Memphis so much, and yet it's who I am. Memphis now rivals New Orleans for political corruption, but it lacks the panache of New Orleans. I thought I had kicked the dust of Memphis from my sandals some 10 years ago, but alas, here I am, back where most of those whom I most dearly love live. It's the place I know best. Memphis is who I am. Sometimes I think that's very sad, sometimes I celebrate that. We are, each human being on this earth, so totally local that it's amazing that life is even possible. Thank God for politics.

Apropos MG's reminder that he


would like to disassociate myself from your questionable
comments about God's intelligence.  Though God's judgments might
seem arbitrary at times, somewhat like the Governor's in "Blazing
Saddles", still we must withhold judgment until all has been
unfolded in the End Times.  Perhaps there's inscrutable wisdom at
work here that we cannot fathom in our mere creatureliness.  Lest
your jabs at God's judgment be seen as seditious, I ask you to stay
out of lightning strike from me for the foreseeable future.


the following may be of relevance (to atheists):
the true formula of materialism is not "God doesn't exist," but "God is unconscious" 

pace Zizek...
