The only thing we ever do.

                                                    Happy Birthday !            The new British Royal Prince has barely been on the planet 24 hours but he has already been put to work. His job as Prince (name) of Cambridge has already been decided. Isn't this compulsory labour ? Won't his child-hood be shadowed by the expectation to act according to his job?   Shouldn't we at least ask him if he wants to be a Prince?            Not satisfied with child exploitation, British society will be grooming him for his future job that, in all probability, will be 40 or 50 years from now. It has already been decided that, at some point in the future he will become King. And we expect him to be King until he his dead.           So that's the little fellow's life mapped out for him then. How kind of us. No wonder we can't contain our excitement.           Before catching his first breath, before any chance to look around or smile at his mum, it has been ordered that

                                                                                 Pour encourager les autres.             In Stanley Kubrick's film Paths of Glory, Kirk Douglas plays a World War 1 French Colonel who refuses to obey a suicidal attack order. The Top Brass deal with this by choosing three soldiers at random to be executed. Within the system, the lower orders must obey the orders of their commanders no matter how ludicrous they are. For if the command structure were to falter, who knows what might happen?           Simply put, if command structures do break down then communication will break loose. It is in order to keep the beautiful twin beasts of describing and explaining in their cage that events like those depicted in the film have occured, and continue to occur, throughout history. Describing and explaining are not a danger to us, they are a danger to those in power and those that serve that power, and that is their threat. At the same time,  Bela Lugos

                                                                  What is it?           The part of communication that is giving information can be most easily expressed as: Describing and Explaining. We describe and explain whenever we give information, and from this information there is an idea, because communication always, and most basically, works as:                                              Information ---------> Idea         The information we choose to give affects the idea. We might describe former P.M. Tony Blair as "the right honourable ", or we can describe him as "a war criminal." The musician Prince has been described as " a supernatural Martian playing at Euterpe 's party" as well as "a paranoid little schizo with a bible in one hand and his cock in the other." And even such a relatively simple scenario as this-         -may be a woodlouse , a butcher boy , or even a 団子虫(dango mushi) or dumpling bug in Ja

                        Blair/Thatcher - 21 years in power: absolutely barking.                                          Bela Lugosi is unwell.              The asking + checking ( Bela Lugosi) parts of communication are almost everywhere most often greeted with garlic, crucifixes and sharpened stakes.  Asking + checking  is met not only with the anger of the pitch-forked mob, but also with the fury of the guy in the castle. Those in power recognise that any effort to communicate represents a danger to those whose privileged position must never be exposed to the examination of sunlight lest it turn to dust. Human history shows that an increase in the quality of society is fundamentally linked to an increase in communication. Without the asking and checking of science, we would have none of our modern technological comforts. Without the asking and checking of the heretics we would still be in mortal fear of the church. Without the asking and checking of ordinary people, we&#
