The outlaws are not articulate when it comes to the strengths and weaknesses of the world they function in, but their instincts are finely honed. They have learned from expereince that some crimes are likely to be punished, and some aren't. A Hell's Angel who wants to make a long-distance call, for instance, will usually go to a payphone. He will deposit enough money for the first three minutes, acknowledge the operator's signal at the end of that time, and talk for as long as he wants. When he finally hangs up, the operator will tell him how many coins he should put in black box... but instead of paying, he laughs, spits obscenities into the phone and finishes. Unlike the normal, middle-class, hard-working American, a motorcycle outlaw has no vested interest in the system that is represented by the voice of a telephone operator. The values of that system are completely irrelevant to him. He doesn't give a damn, and besides, he knows the phone company can't catch him. So he completes his call, abuses the operator and goes off to get happily wasted.

I had just come back from an incident with the police and a snowmobile when Pat Cadell called from New York, saying that he was with a bunch of New York Times reporters in a bar and they were curious to know what I thought about what Clinton had to say about marijuana - that he had tried it in college but 'didn't inhale'. I was embarassed. What do you mean 'didn't inhale'? What the hell do you think we smoke it for?

He was a swine of a man and a jabbering dupe of a president. Nixon was so crooked that he needed servants to help him screw his pants on every morning. Even his funeral was illegal. He was queer in the deepest way. His body should have been burned in a trash bin.

George Bush can't even run, much less hide. He will be lucky to get off without doing time in a federal prison and doing pushups on some filthy asphalt basketball court every morning with people like Vice Adm. Poindexter, Gen. Secord and the apparently berserk Marine Lt. Col. Oliver North.
They will all be locked up, and they will take many others down with them... Attorney General Ed Meese and brain-damaged CIA chief William Casey are already targeted for humiliating felony / conspiracy prosecutions, and at least 33 people on the White House "staff" will be charged with baffling crimes and forced to turn to Jesus to escape jail... Even Patrick Buchanan will go this time, despite his bizarre run for the presidency. They are all as guilty as egg-sucking dogs.

"Getting paranoid is an occupational hazard ... which is good. Your mind is working at its best when you're being paranoid. You explore every avenue and possibility of your situation at high speed with total clarity. I'm not interested in looking at things made by people who aren't paranoid, they're not working to their full capacity."

but haven't got hold of yet: "the man who mistook a hat for his wife" by oliver sacks

Carol Ann Duffy is a great poet, and this is a brilliant, very funny collection of her poems.
my favourite three so far come between Mrs Faust and Mrs Quasimodo; Delilah, Queen Kong, and Anne Hathaway, who all have great sex and don't end up hating their lovers. then Mrs Quasimodo has great sex with Quasimodo until he leaves her for the gypsy girl... So she ends up hating him.
I'm looking forward to reading the rest.

The Kyoto Protocol comes into force today.

And the McLibel Two won their case against the British Government in the European Court of Human Rights, which ruled that denying them legal aid in their court case against McDonald's had infringed their right to a fair trial, and to free speech.

the standard C math library has a function;

SYNOPSIS
#include <math.h>

double remainder(double x, double y);

the function returns the remainder on dividing x by y.
this result is chosen to be between -y/2 and y/2. it's usual to choose remainders either between 0 and y, or between -y/2 and y/2. however, in the second case it is also usual to specify which of the 2 is chosen, if x = (n + 1/2)y.

DESCRIPTION
The remainder() function returns the floating point
remainder r = x - ny when y is non-zero. The value n is the
integral value nearest the exact value x/y. When |n - x/y| =
1/2, the value n is chosen to be even.

the last sentence means that both -y/2 and y/2 are possible remainders, and both are used. this means that this function, for a given y, returns different values for x's which are a multiple of y apart, or in other words, returns different values for numbers which have the same remainder on division by y.
