After scanning its face again and again,
I began to scale it, picking my holds
With intense caution. About half-way
To the top, I was suddenly brought to
A dead stop, with arms outspread
Clinging close to the face of the rock
Unable to move hand or foot
Either up or down. My doom
Appeared fixed. I MUST fall.
There would be a moment of
Bewilderment, and then,
A lifeless rumble down the cliff
To the glacier below.
My mind seemed to fill with a
Stifling smoke. This terrible eclipse
Lasted only a moment, when life blazed
Forth again with preternatural clearness.
I seemed suddenly to become possessed
Of a new sense. My trembling muscles
Became firm again, every rift and flaw in
The rock was seen as through a microscope,
My limbs moved with a positiveness and precision
With which I seemed to have
Nothing at all to do.
My head knocks against the stars.
My feet are on the hilltops.
My finger-tips are in the valleys and shores of
universal life.
Down in the sounding foam of primal things I
reach my hands and play with pebbles of
destiny.
I have been to hell and back many times.
I know all about heaven, for I have talked with God.
I dabble in the blood and guts of the terrible.
I know the passionate seizure of beauty
And the marvelous rebellion of man at all signs
reading “Keep Off.”
My name is Truth and I am the most elusive captive
in the universe.

Good morning HAL…
Good morning Dave… I’ve indexed a selection of answers based on your dreams from last night. Would you like to see them?
We already know Google is creepy. What we need to know, now, is how it ends.
HAL, how do we defeat Google?
Casey, I’m afraid I am unable to go into detail in addressing your concerns. But I can give you my complete assurance that I will employ all my faculties to the utmost investigating this matter. In the meantime, I honestly think you ought to sit down calmly, take a stress pill, and think about something else
If the media were any where near as influential as some think then we’d all be driving Edsels and drinking New Coke.
Here’s an example for all y’all. Normally I peruse the tubes via my account, but sometimes I’m too lazy and use my wife’s account cuz she’s logged in. My accounts and settings are all wrapped up tight, trying to keep the tubes spies from tracking me. The wife doesn’t care, and she’d be annoyed when a site didn’t work perfect and she’d yell at me. So I first read DrudgeReport on my wife’s login, then went to AmDig, and perused the comments to the pic of Elvis. Kudos to ghostsniper to figuring it out it was a pr pic in Germany.
I followed the link that Gerard provided describing all the publicity stills. Then I immediately navigated back to DrudgeReport cuz my curiosity was belatedly piqued about something I read there.
Dang it! There on DrudgeReport was flashing a big ol’ Graceland advert. Something I have never seen before, not ever. Which hung around for the next five minutes. Смерть шпионам!
All y’all gotta turn off allowing cookies and install something like Ghostery and the gizmos that prevent clandestine Javascripts from running. You don’t, and the FANGs are buying and selling you, you’re just their digital slave.
TO Roy Lofquist
You’re missing the point: the problem with your analogy is that the media we’re discussing here works to PREVENT you from even KNOWING there’s anything out there’s other than “Edsels and New Coke” to drive and drink.
