Spinning wheel....

        I've been ensnared by cable video yah-yah. Sometimes it seems like
  they're trying to program me. My dad told me that television was mass hypnosis.
  But, he'd watch Lawrence Welk every Sunday. That was snappy.
  I preferred The Ed Sullivan show and later on The Carol Burnett Show
  and Laugh In and Sonny&Cher.. and the Somthers Brothers.
  They were just fun no sermons.

        Television has been a big part of my life. Is that hypnosis?
  There's all kinds of mind control. The bully at school, who gets you to give him
  your lunch money. Is practicing aggressive advertisement.
  I used counter intelligence to find out who my bully was afraid of.
  His dad. A few strategically placed joints at my bully's house and he was
  grounded. The threat of telling his dad that he was smoking pot was enough
  to keep my bully off my back.

  Random observation on life abound in my world view. Trust no one and try not
  to get hurt. Bernadette Staza was a neighborhood girl friend. She snuck me into
  her house to spy on her parents swingers parties.
  It was hilarious .. The parties started formally with a dinner and some wine and music.
  Then, it moved on to dancing and necking and stripping and sex.
  Bernadetts parents and their friends were lumpy middle age swingers.
  Bernadett did not feel inhibited by social mores and willing offered sex.
  I had no trouble with that. Her parents did.

  Mr. Staza hollered at us, while trying to make us ignore the orgy he had just
  begun. Our sex act had been spotted by one of his guest, who thought it was cute.
  I was forbidden to see Bernadette again. That curfew was impossible to enforce
  in the Staza swinging house. We'd watch Batman in her room, while the swinging
  party music played downstairs .. In hind sight, I'm amazed I didn't get Bernadette pregnant.
  We were teenagers and had no idea about contraception. The Batman TV theme music
  still arouses me... ?Did Batman make us horny?

          Many right wing Christian activist believe that the erodetion of our morals
          comes from Television .. All I see on cable are cop shows.
          I'm afraid that freethinking is a product of a commercialized society.
          Without a strong centralized authority people will pursue their fantasies
          at whatever cost. That is the free market.

  How many Reverends have been caught with their hand in the donations and their
  pants down? Sounds like a sermon.. I liked my parochial education, but my secular
  education was wicked. ~

                    "Sex is natural and good. You are all feeling the needs of young
                    healthy people, abstanance is the healthiest choice. There is the high
                    risk of vinerial disease and unwanted pregnancies.
                    If you need counseling, their is a Planed Parenthood clinic outside
                    the school on Cambridge Street next to the library."

  The clinic gave out free condoms and there were horny girls there ..
  I spent a lot of time in the library .. reading..

  Hmmm.
