JOSEPH JOUBERT (II)
Justice is truth in action.
We are all of us more or less echoes, repeating involuntarily the virtues, the defects, the movements and the characters of those among whom we live.
Children have more need of models than of critics.
Strength is not energy ; some writers have more muscles than talent.
In the uneducated classes the women are more estimable than the men; in the higher class we find that the men are the superiors. This is because men more readily grow rich in acquired virtues, and women in native virtues.

THE NATIONAL SOCIALIST LEAGUE SUCKS
Admittedly, they were hot once--in the 1930s and 1940s--but those days are long gone.
Will this team ever manage to win one again?
Item: 1923: The Adolf Hitler Boy’s Storm Troop collapses in the wake of the failed Beer Hall Putsch.
Item: 1932: Adolf "Der Fuhrer" Hitler proclaims the team will establish a thousand year dynasty.
Item: 1941: Adolf "Rug-Biter" Hitler, amped up on methamphetamine, tackles Ioseb "Uncle Joe" Besarionis dze Jughashvili and gets thrown out at home.
Item: 1945: The "Thousand Year Dynasty" ends--after a mere thirteen years.
Item: 1964: Liberty Lobby U.S. Presidential candidate Goldwater takes a frontal hit from a mean crook cowboy and loses 46 states.
Item: 1967: Nazi-raddled NASA's biggest rocket to date fizzles on the launchpad, roasting three.
Item: 1998: Resistance Records gets bought out by the Willis Carto gang.
Analysis: The National Socialist League, as should be well known, has been an international disgrace with a decades-long string of failures to its name. They have long been the team the fans love to hate, as one affectionate nickname ("Dem Bums") demonstrates.
Conclusion: This trend will likely continue into the forseeable future.

11*DEVIATIONS FROM THE PREPARED TEXT: A REVIEW OF OTHER MEDIA
FISH OIL
You know, the fish oil in capsules is probably OK, as long as it's in a sealed container. But it should be kept cool, and preferably in the refrigerator. Otherwise, it may grow rancid.
Also, getting all your fats from any one source is probably a bad idea.
READ THIS:
"When fish oil become rancid, it becomes a lipid peroxide...There's also been some studies done regarding fish oil intake and vitamin E; because of the potential for fish oil to oxidize, even in the blood, some have suggested that vitamin E be ingested along with fish oil..."

Rancidity

Furthermore, if you buy supplemental flaxseed oil that had not had preservatives added to it, you must use it immediately. It can go rancid within days, even in the refrigerator.
Anecdotally, Alpha-Lineolic acid is in Omega-6 supplements, and lineolic acid is also used as an ingredient in paint. When flaxseed oil, and omega 3-6-9 oils, and supplements, go rancid from age, they convert to Lineolic acid. You can tell if such oils are rancid from the paint-like smell.
Furthermore, many omega-6 oils are hydrogenated to prevent spoilage, but hydrogenation obviates any putative health benefits. I wouldn't take the following as gospel, but it's food for thought:

THE VELVET UNDERGROUND: A COLLOQUIUM
Loquitur:
LWM: Local Wise Man
FSAD: Francis DiMenno
JTP: Jody the Pig
???: Unidentified fan
LWM: It only took forty years, but finally the Velvet Underground is getting some attention. Who better than media juggernaut WMBR to help high-profile rock scribe Richie Unterberger put this unfairly-neglected band on the map?
FSAD: I hear ya. Lou Reed has toiled in obscurity for too long. His is the most tragic story in all of Rock and Roll. It's high time "the man" finally got some recognition.
http://www.ta-psychotherapy.co.uk/strokes.htm
LWM: Indeed. Self-effacing to a fault, Reed has never sought recognition for his efforts. The honest love of making music with like-minded musicians has always been his stated goal.
FSAD: This honorable man, who challenged the hypocrisy of the "fun-fun-fun" Beach Boys generation with his brutally honest and candid and frank songs about the seamy "underside" of the New York "scene", was a brave pioneer who ALWAYS told THE TRUTH with never a thought of monetary gain. Never slow to give credit to his sidemen, he was a type of Jewish "Saint".
LWM: Reed sang about the harsh realities of hopeless poverty in late-60's New York, about having to scrape by on guts and dreams before running back to your dad's accounting firm.
Then twenty years later he sang about the harsh realities of New York as seen from a cushy penthouse.
But an honest cushy penthouse.
FSAD: A penthouse with integrity, damnit!
Listen, fuckers--Lou Reed didn't take any "shit" from "The Man".
He walked it like he talked it!
Ask Delmore Schwartz!
That's right--DELMORE SCHWARTZ!!!!!!!!!!!
WHAT CAN YOU SAY ABOUT THIS MAN FUCKERS HE IS THE FRANK SINATRA OF PUNK I THINK HE IS A GENIUS BECAUSE HE IS BOTH A POET AND A MAN OF THE STREETS AND ANY MAN WHO WANTS TO GET TO LOU WILL HAVE TO GO THROUGH ME FUCKER AND THAT MEANS YOU, CHRISTGAU, YOU TOEFUCKER. SHUT UP SHUT UP CONEY ISLAND BABY IS A MASTERPIECE-- "I WANT TO PLAY FOOTBALL FOR THE COACH"--BRILLIANT!
They are towering legends.
The Beatles of their day.
Never mind that they and the Beatles shared the same time period.
Shut Up.
The Beatles aren't fit to lick their Cuban boots.
Lou Reed's first album is a masterpiece.
So what if he recorded with Yes.
And even his demo recordings like Do the Ostrich are far better than anything on Revolver.
And I must also use Heroin because Lou said to.
And I will wear black leather jackerts and be down with the people.
Berlin is a masterpiece I tell you.
Never mind what people say, how it's depressing.
What do "Norms" like them know?
And nobody has ever recoded a better album than The Bells.
Don Cherry isn't fit to breathe his air.
And I will tell you even though some people say his voice sounds like a dusthead's dying croak do tyou know what I hear?
I hear nothing but street cred.
I tell you the man is a towering legend.
And anyone who says different knows NOTHING.
Hey now, there's an international boy
walkin' around the world
Hey now, there's a jet set star
lookin' still for some little
pick up girl, I said -
- Hey now, you used to scratch my back
and you look across the board
Hey, hey now, when you ripped open my shirt
you see that's written, hey,
The Wanderer on my chest
Hey, hey now, there's a dancing girl
Kiss you, kiss you, kiss you good
bye, ooohhh baby ooohhh
Hey now, there's a lovely child
Look, look, looking for love
Hey, hey, hey
Give it to us, baby, now, yeah
There goes my chest, groovy on my
best, baby, hey, yeah
BRILLIANT!!!!!
JTP: I approached Lou Reed on the street in NYC and asked about that song and he gave me a twinkly grin and slapped me on the shoulder as he told me the very amusing story of how he came to write it and then offered to buy me a coffee but I had to go to work and when I got home that night I found a bouquet of roses with a nice note from Lou telling me how much he appreciates getting critical feedback from his fans.
Super approachable down-to-earth guy.
LWM: I've heard this heartwarming story told by a hundred different Lou Reed fans (or "Lounatics" as he good-naturedly refers to them on his blog). What a sweetheart of a guy.
JTP: You betcha. Each year, his Christmas card encapsulates the season's good cheer in a manner that's brave enough to face unblinking the brutal urban landscape while employing delectable ironic distancing that shows us what it really means to be human, plus Laurie Anderson sends a muffin basket.
And that's just one of the many, many things that makes Lou a cuddlebear beyond compare.
...
[By the way], Much like the Grateful Dead, the Velvet Underground was steeped in the American country folk tradition.
FSAD: There are a lot of eerie parallels between the Velvet Underground and the Grateful Dead.
Uncanny coincidences abound!
Lou pretended to use Heroin but he was actually a speedfreak.
Jerry pretended to be Captain Trips but was actually into Duji.
Also:
Doug Yule was burned by Lou Reed.
The Yule log is burned every Christmas.
Also:
Logos is Greek for "word".
Lou Reed wrote words for The Velvet Underground.
Incidentally, Jerry Garcia pointed all this out to me.
While nodding off.
By the way, The Dead considered recording "Sister Ray" but Pigpen objected to the the lyrics "suckin' on mah ding-dong".
JTP: He was far too proud ever to hit it sideways.
...
???: Seriously though--even though the so-called "sophistos" make the mock Lou because he his managed to "kick the monkey" and knows he what it's like to be "hard and out" and he went to the college of the knocks and he will always give hundred dollar bill to hungry moocher and is poor man's friend--he is my biggest admire. If you believe me not, shut the up. Pardon my Englsih, she is not so good.
