V for Vendetta - Valerie's Letter

Sat, 12 Jan 2008 20:34:29 GMT

clipped by: Laustere
clipper's remarks: A monologue from the graphic novel V for Vendetta. Full text at source.

The text used in the movie had some parts excised purely for length reasons- the message remains unchanged.

One of my favorite monologues.

I don't know who you are. Please believe. There is no way I can convince you that this is not one of their tricks. But I don't care. I am me, and I don't know who you are, but I love you.

The Guild of Funerary Violinists

Founded in 1586, the Guild of Funerary Violinists is not only Britain's oldest surviving artisans society, but also the first to be granted national status in a Royal Warrant from Queen Elizabeth I. Dedicated to the promotion and execution of the art of Funerary Violin: a tradition once placed at the very heart of our notions of mortality, but now sadly neglected, if not forgotten altogether; the GFV works tirelessly to raise awareness of both the great wealth of music composed to accompany the laying to rest of a tragically departed soul; but also the great wealth of ritual and symbolism associated with mortality and the Funerary Aesthetic, that seems to be so lacking in the culture of today, where Death is pushed to one side and hidden like some embarrassing family secret.

NULLUS FUNUS SINE FIDULA.

Keytars

Sat, 16 Jun 2007 19:39:17 GMT

clipped by: Laustere
clipper's remarks: Do any clippers out there play one of these?

Clip Source: en.wikipedia.org

A keytar is a keyboard or synthesizer worn around the neck and shoulders, similar to a guitar. The word “keytar” is a portmanteau of “keyboard” and “guitar.” Keytars allow players a greater range of movement, compared to conventional keyboards, which are placed on stands.

To “keytar” also refers to the ability to emulate the playing style and sound of an electric or acoustic guitar via a synthesizer, sampler or computer.

The keytar was made popular in the 1980s by hair bands, as well as synthpop and New Wave groups. A performance by David Lee Roth created a buzz around the instrument causing a massive increase in its use during 1986. Changing trends in music diminished the keytar’s popularity shortly thereafter. The keytar has enjoyed new visibility due in part to software innovations from companies like Musiclab (RealGuitar), UltimateSoundBank (PlugSound) and the Williams (Keytar V-1).

14 SYMPTOMS OF A FASCIST STATE

IS HISTORY REPEATING ITSELF HERE IN AMERICA?

Dr. Lawrence Britt has examined the fascist regimes of Hitler (Germany), Mussolini (Italy), Franco (Spain), Suharto (Indonesia) and several Latin American regimes. Britt found 14 defining characteristics common to each:

Powerful and Continuing Nationalism

Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights

Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause

Supremacy of the Military

Rampant Sexism

Controlled Mass Media

Obsession with National Security

Corporate Power is Protected

Limiting and surpressing organizing powers

Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts

Obsession with Crime and Punishment

Rampant Cronyism and Corruption

Fraudulent Elections

HERE ARE A FEW MORE EXAMPLES. RAMPANT ABUSES OF AUTHORITY ARE THE INHERENT RESULT OF A FASCIST STATE. IF YOU LOOK AROUND CAREFULLY YOU WILL SEE THE SIGNS ARE ALREADY HERE IN ABUNDANCE.

Quote- Signs of a sick Culture

Tue, 22 May 2007 15:33:54 GMT

clipped by: Laustere
clipper's remarks: -R.A. Heinlein, "Friday".

Paraphrased for length... The full quote is definately worth looking at.

Clip Source: www.quotableheinlein.com

What are the marks of a sick culture?

It is a bad sign when the people of a country stop identifying themselves with the country and start identifying with a group. A racial group. Or a religion. Or a language. Anything, as long as it isn't the whole population.

I think you have missed the most alarming symptom of all. This one I shall tell you. But go back and search for it. Examine it. Sick cultures show a complex of symptoms as you have named... But a dying culture invariably exhibits personal rudeness. Bad manners. Lack of consideration for others in minor matters. A loss of politeness, of gentle manners, is more significant than a riot.

This symptom is especially serious in that an individual displaying it never thinks of it as a sign of ill health but as proof of his/her strength. Look for it. Study it. It is too late to save this culture - this worldwide culture, not just the freak show here in California.

"At one time kings were annointed by Deity, so they problem was to see to it that Deity annointed the right candidate. In this age, the myth is 'the will of the people' . . . but the problem changes only superficially."

maybe this is better than a song?
instead of applause, i get comments.
sometimes they feel the same.
]sometimes i like the comments more than the applause.
i can read the comments, they're human. they make sense.

the applause. sometimes it just sounds like noise.
