The Utopian Capitalist

An intermittently maintained placeholder for random clips, bits, observations, paranoid fantasies, links, quotes, and other stuff which would otherwise emailed randomly. Pseudonymous to respect the fiction of internet anonymity. Who am I? A somewhat disgruntled (not yet curmudgeonly) fellow, inconsistent, contrary, generally optimistic, still idealistic (some say naive) explorer of the world and its wonders. Sometimes it's hard to know what to do - is this Blog a mere substitute for real action?

No need for words......



This is a ceiling mural in a smokers' lounge.

I used to work with an old computer guy (he learned to program on the night shift at Los Alamos in the 60's) who would smoke unfiltered camels outside the office back door in large quantities (2-3 packs a day). I said to him in passing one fine day "those'll kill you, Kurt". His reply - "I was hopin'."

Freedom is just that - including the freedom to harm ourselves (but not others).
