Bill,

At this moment, 2 millions Americans are contracting covid every day.

This is the second highest peak of covid infections.

People over the age of 70 are especially vulnerable.

The latest post-omicron variants are considered more virulent.

Within two months, it's expected that 1 in 3 Americans will have

had a (new) covid infection. 

Every covid infection and re-infection increases your chances of

contracting long covid. Long covid can affect almost all of the vital 

functions of the human body. 

The US government has ceased reporting covid data - because it

is criminally responsible for the failure to try to eliminate the disease.

Short term profits were chosen instead of an elimination policy.

This is post-political representation: i.e. they don't represent us.

I don't think you're going to get very far by 

replacing politics with questions of morality

when I studied in Rochester the fascism that was trickling down came 

from neoliberals, careerists, left postmodernists, garden variety jerks,

so-called feminists and queers ( word used in correct manner ) - who,

as members of the professional-managerial class, were unconcerned

about the people they step on, just making sure that the Reaganomics 

did not keep them out of the club

that's why I focus on the similarities and affinities between

traditional fascism and anti-liberal, anti-Marxist postmodern

theories that are anti-Enlightenment and anti-universality, 

wherein identity politics = cross-class collaboration in the

interest of upward mobility and anti-communism

this now includes: radical democracy, left populism, intersectionality, 

decoloniality, critical race theory, privilege theory, afro-pessimism, 

whiteness studies, and the like 

this is the missing link in today's discussion: how we went from

civil rights within democracy to anti-universal power politics

( a.k.a. postmodern nihilism )

by the way,

Kant defined his ethics-aesthetics as anti-social sociability

that explains why Szarkofsky … liked you so much 

FYI MJL

i am the same guy who wrote the words in my li'l book

You are the fellow who does more thinking research writing than anyone i can imagine

I crashed my Mac & disappeared my negs 3 times

this website has it all  Free for all !

we did capitalistically sell enough of my books to cover our self-publishing loan.

i've been lucky enough to cover lifetimes!

Have water    been in my bottle    you may decide to thirst on...

I am very thirsty   please give me some water

Wishing water for you all   nature's all-purifier   citrus n souls

capitalism a rotting root  the needy   the greedy

always the compulsion ta keep stuff in order
i duck, he duck, she duck
outside, inside, now, then
i shoulda learned from Marquez Morrison Erdrich . . .
times i'm believin i toddl in the shoes
will find out where I be
Thank you

I know Szarkowski expresses what likely validates lots of stuff
he's a beauty
however
the world I live is the social-antisocial

I was born in 1938 in Southern California - Sierra Madre
i evolved knowing early that catholic missionaries from Spain/Mexico covered the west coast romanticized in my childhood
way too late for me and reality i knew the effects of Mission+ history
way too late Our realities of Slavery
had i been born anywhere across the Canadian border - thru the midwest - south
I would have evolved knowing the Realities of our Indigenous Peoples
Slavery
Lots…
i did not until way too late

Greetings for better times  Joe
I read most of Fante's
I had to stop very quickly after beginning most
BUT
”Ask The Dust” & “The Road To Los Angeles” were Light  for me

“bland” you say compared to Fante
not your books and poems i say
i came to view my many bland periods & phases as rest stops ... collecting & absorbing  historical... i wasn't dead
