Summaries and Reviews
Amazon.com description: Product Description: This is the beginning of the book. The lead paragraphs of any kind of writing is supposed to be hook by which you catch the fish and then reel him in. You’re off the hook. I’m angling for people not yet born, perhaps huddled around a cave, but still able to read some of the ancient books that they managed to retrieve from the destruction. I’ll be talking here about their need to do things that weren’t done such as putting guillotines in town squares and executing faggots, convicted after a fair trial of course, in or-der to show pride in humanity. Good time to be had by all. Wonderful! That gets rid of all the insufferable and ob-noxious liberals gawking around here. If they -- any of them -- ever learn the difference between their ass and their elbow, let me know. You had better be able to produce unim-peachable proof though or I’m not going to believe you. I have not encountered a liberal in this century who does not speak with forked tongue. I'll also be explaining how transvestism is the panacea that can solve all the world’s problems provided it is used in conjunction with the guillotine. Wonderful! That should get rid of all the people who think that this guy has a screw loose. The fact is that I am 74 and when I’ve lived next door in Canada and Israel to a multitude of neighbors no one has ever complained. It’s the other way around. The world is crazy and you have to go with the flow for any chance of explaining it. Look, if the world goes swimmingly well, then I am en-tirely wrong. Normally you only can make judgments on these matters in hindsight. But what Nietzsche said holds true today. What we term civilization is a fraud. He called the shot. Anyone at Auschwitz saw clearly what he was talking about. Friedrich Nietzsche: “The very essence of all civilization is to train out of man the beast of prey, (to make) a tame and civilized animal, a domesticated animal. ... These bearers of vindictive instincts that have to be bottled up. ... These people, I say, represent the decline of humanity! These ‘tools of civilization’ are a disgrace to humanity, and constitute an argument against civilization, more of a reason why civilization should be suspected.” All the wild animals, of which we are one, are violent. Humans to survive, to build functioning economies, must make rules, and as long as transgressors of the rules are be-ing brought to justice in a reasonable percentage of cases, you have a facsimile of civilization. Actually things were not going too badly for the first 3,000 years after civilization began, if you date that roughly to the invention of writing. But a species is like an individual, you either develop intellectually and emotionally in pace with your age or you turn into a mental cripple, a monster, or a criminal. or all of the above. That essentially is what happened when development ceased. Two degenerate religions came along and ran up a few hundred million unpunished murders. And that is even be-fore we reached the modern age when things really got bad. The species got out of the caves in the first place because women bonded, invented everything, and voilà, one day there was Egypt. They worked hard, worked together, all for one and one for all. Their success was probably a function of their shared responsibility for motherhood. If we had depended on the men, we would still be in the caves.
