ON FASCISTS - April 7, 2008

ON FASCISTS

Fascists expect you to apologize for opinions you may have that differ from theirs. We all have a little fascist in us. Some people have a lot.

I THINK I'LL JOIN A GANG - April 7, 2008

My pee pee’s teenie weenie,
So I think I’ll join a gang.
My wang feels so much larger,
When I give away my brain
To another teeny weenie
Who's proclaiming he’s a man.
My pee pee’s teenie weenie.
I think I’ll join a gang.

comment: The feeling of need to join a gang is based in insecurity and doubt of manhood or personhood.
Incidentally, armies are large legitimatized gangs.

FREEDOM OF CHOICE - April 5, 2008

i HAVE THE RIGHT TO CHOOSE TO DO ANYTHING THAT i WANT TO DO. The only limitations of this right may be my innate abilities and/or the environmental circumstances I am in. You may choose to tell me that I "don't have the right." I may choose to answer, "Who says?"

I can do anything I want to do.
I can choose to aspire to any profession that i want. I have the right to choose to kill you. I have the right to choose to stop at a stop sign. I have the right to choose to go through it without stopping if I feel it's safe. I have the right to choose to go through it if it's unsafe.

With every choice that I make, there is a consequence. If I choose to jump up and down right now, it affects the universe in some way. I may choose to disregard this effect or ignore it as inconsequential. I choose to think that "cause and effect" is a function of the universe. I may choose to deny that "cause and effect" is a function of the universe some day.

I can drop a bomb on Hiroshima. I can do a kind deed for a neighbor.I can travel the world. I have the right to choose to jump off a building. I have the right to choose to have sexual intercourse with anyone I want. I have the right to choose to deny the responsibility of the consequences of that. I have the right to choose to accept them.

I can do anything that I want to do. I have the right to choose to write anything that I want to write in these fresh thoughts. You have the right to choose to read them. Or not.

DULL MUSIC EXCOMMUNICATES POPE - April 4, 2008

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
CONTACT: JMH Dull Productions
JMHDProductions@aol.com
www.dullmusic.com

DULL MUSIC EXCOMMUNICATES POPE

“It is with great sadness that we announce our decision on this matter.
Circumstances drove our organization to this position. Our stance is not
taken lightly, and only after much deliberation did we decide that this
course of action was necessary.”

With this statement, a spokesperson from the Dull Music Company announced
the excommunication.

Insiders closest to the decision making process speculate that the excommunication was finally triggered by the Catholic Church’s decision to excommunicate Father Roy Bourgeois for his stance on the ordination of women into the priesthood.

Bourgeois is a noted social justice advocate and Founder of the School of the Americas Watch, a citizen watchdog group that monitors government atrocities in Central America:

(www.SOAW.org) .

But others have raised the possibility that long standing disagreements
between Dull Music and the Catholic Church’s position on multitudinous matters
were the deciding factors in the decision.

The announcement, however, came bluntly and swiftly. There seemed to be no hesitation on the matter.

ABRAHAM MASLOW - March 27, 2008

The works of Abraham Maslow will enjoy a significant resurgence in the near future.
Neuro-scientific research will discover tangible brain evidence that many of his suppositions were correct.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abraham_Maslow

"Maslow became the leader of the humanistic school of psychology that emerged in the 1950s and 1960s, which he referred to as the "third force" -- beyond Freudian theory and behaviorism."

ON SEX EDUCATION - March 1, 2008

ON SEX EDUCATION
Hurray for sex education. After all, kids should know about their bodies – including their minds.
**********************
There’s something mystifying about this whole “sex education” process though.
The word “love” seems to be left out of the discussion.
**************************
That could mean a few things:
1. Love doesn’t exist
2. We don’t know much about love
3. We’re afraid to talk about love
4. We’re so poor at “making love” that we’re ashamed to discuss it.

************************
Now here’s a fresh thought:
If we’re teaching kids how to copulate well, but we’re not teaching them how to make love, we could end up with the following:
1. A whole bunch of kids who may be copulating well but are unhappy with their ability to make love.
2. Some unwanted pregnancies.
3. A lot of divorces.
******************************l
Maybe we better learn what love is. Hey, if it exists, it’s got to be able to at least be defined.
There’s a whole bunch of us old hippies running around screaming for sex education, and we used to be screaming, “Make love, not war.” Maybe we just gave up for lack of knowledge?
**********************l
Abraham Maslow, the renowned humanistic psychologist, put it this way:
“Our duty is clear here. We must understand love; we must be able to teach it, to create it, to predict it, or else the world is lost to hostility and to suspicion.”
Hey, at least this essay could be part of a sex education course. It may broaden the discussion.

fresh thought - the tactile lie - October 19, 2007

society can propagate and teach, via cultural values, the tactile lie.
What is a tactile lie? When we shake hands with someone, and do not mean it at all, it's a deception. It is tactile communication that is false. It is saying something we do not mean with an action.
The following song was written in response to tactile lies.

AND JUDAS
And Judas, would you betray me with your kiss?
Is this what you are all about?
In death, I finally found you out.

Opportunist, would you betray me with your handshake?
With fake - replace the something real?:
A chilling clutch,
Is that your deal?

And lover, would you betray me with your bed?
Would you say the most that can be said;
Then take my body - leave my soul;
Leave me one half whole and dead?

And Judas, would you betray me with your kiss?
Is this what you are all about?
In death I finally found you out.

Agapé - March 29, 2007

"Agapé" is one of the ancient Greek words used for love. "Eros" and "filios" are 2 other words used in ancient Greek for love. In rough terms “filios” means brotherly love, “eros” means sexual love, and "agapé" means unconditional universal love.
For a revolutionary interpretation of agapé love, drop a note to dullmusic@aol.com and a treatise will be e-mailed in return.

PAYING FOR IT - March 28, 2007

If we feel like we have to pay for it, we lack confidence in our ability to attract sexual partners.

If we feel like we have to sell it, we have a deep self image problem.

If we support the above equation by spending time with porn, both principles apply, and we support the idea of others demeaning themselves. It is an injustice to them.

WE ARE DISINTEGATING INTO THE UNIVERSE - March 5, 2007

ON INTIMACY - February 27, 2007

Like most human activity, physical intimacy can be placed on a scale from “0” to “10”
*********
Rape and incest would, of course, be on the “0” end of the spectrum.
*****************
Allow me to share thoughts on a “10”:

Two virgins of the opposite sex who are loved and respected by their community meet and are highly attracted to one another. They fall in love. After some time, they make a lifelong commitment to one another and share total intimacy. They completely physically, mentally, and, for lack of a better word, spiritually unite at orgasm.
************
They participate unprotected with the knowledge that they may conceive a new life and are eager to do so because of their love for one another.
*****
All their past, future and present unites in one moment. All bodily organs are functioning for the purpose that nature evolved them. No holes barred. The experience is total.
*******************************
Most of our attempts at intimacy fall somewhere between the "0" and "10" ends of the spectrum.
*******************************
Here’s an example:

2 consenting adults who have lifelong commitments to other parties meet secretly in a motel to share an evening of all out sex. They have no particular commitment to the sexual partner of the moment. They use one another for gratification of need. Is this a “5“ or below?
*********************************
As we get closer to zero, there is more inherent violence in the act.
*************
When we deny the personhood of another, we are displaying violence toward them. We lie about their full personhood to them, and this is abuse, whether it be verbal or tactile. Personhood contains past, present and future.
*************
The deep subconscious desire of a person is to approach a “10” in intimacy with someone. I doubt if I’ve ever met anyone who has been there. They’d probably be dead.
