I get mixed race children out of it. It's nice whether it's read slow or fast.

Have you seen the new Kanye West video?
You have validated her work in my opinion.

How did you know that he wouldn't know who Roger Daltrey was? Which, by the way he corrected your spelling on.

"Though I know that the hypnotized never lie" -Roger Daltrey from the song "We won't get fooled again".

Is that the one with Wayne Brady?

"This racist stuff is killing me inside" -Dave Chappelle from the skit "The Niggar Family".

The guys at work are thinking about making me an honorary "brotha". If you ever saw me you'd know how funny that is.

Yes and I can speak Chinese, see: "Ching chang wongtong longshlong."
Just research Haikus on Google search and come to your own conclusion.

This would be relevent in the 1960s or to people in their 60s. Besides, ethnic people aren't trying to end racism through being nice. They're just being nice.

I do love the fact that I'm pretty much guaranteed a few fancy words whenever I read your poems.

I've read newspaper articles devoted to the "Religion is the major cause of war argument." It's certainly common enough to have crossed my path several times in television and print.
What I meant by examples were entire countries or civilizations of atheists and how they compared with the religious ones.
Aside from those two things I agree with you, especially with the part about greed being the major reason for most wars.

And a better answer than Hawking's. His religious wife probably hid the penis inflator after that interview.

Well thank God you stopped before the popular atheist "If we got rid of religion there'd be no more war" saying came out. What you say has merit. Now if only we had a good example of it working in practice.

Yeah I said that wrong, totally wrong. I think what I meant was that he uses visual layout to effect the sound as opposed to letting the reader find their own pauses. I see how it seems necessary in this poem. Basically I'm saying he tends to use a rigid structure in his own way. He kinda writes in a subtle William Shatner/Christopher Walkin type speach. This is something I really like about his poems though.
Anyway I should think about what I'm trying to say before I say it. I'm sure later I'll feel stupid about something I said in this comment too. Somedays I just don't express myself very well.

Nice. Was there a specific purpose for using such feminine text? Don't get me wrong, it doesn't come across gay or anything. It just seems like you had a reason for using such tender language and I'm not sure what it is.
on Flow by zodiac 12 Jan 2006, 2:12 PM
I've noticed your line breaks tend to be more for visual purposes than for phonic purposes.

Hawking bases his disbelief in the classical idea of God on "The wave function theory" which states the origin of the universe came into being by chance(allowing that chance is an eternal condition) and so no creator needed to be present.

But there's always a chance he's wrong.

This is even more ironic:
Jane Hawking is a Christian. She made the statement in 1986, "Without my faith in God, I wouldn't have been able to live in this situation;" namely, the deteriorating health of her husband. "I would not have been able to marry Stephen in the first place because I wouldn't have had the optimism to carry me through and I wouldn't have been able to carry on with it."
-From Stephen Hawking, The Big Bang, and God by Henry F. Schaefer III.

Hawking.org devotes an entire lecture to the question "Does God play dice?"

replying on cat by Dental Panic 12 Jan 2006, 8:13 AM
I guess if you consider cheating, not playing.

It's funny how Hawking talks about knowing the mind of God in his book. As if he's secretly giving Christians and Jews the finger.
That's probably why God turned him into a cauliflower.

Of course if he was the smartest man in the world he would have known that the smartest way to respond to the question "Does God Exist?" is to say "God who?"

Well said. Maybe God does play dice

but I think he cheats a little.
