More From Robert Morgan

I don't fear death. i'm not obsessed with it the way everybody else seems to be. it's wrong to say "everybody," but in literature i see it all the time - preoccupation with it, philosophical preoccupation, in fact. that's a principle element of literature and philosophy, often cited as the main element, the only real element. i say give it up.

One way to think about what psychedelics are is as catalysts for language development. they literally force the evolution of language. you cannot evolve faster than your language because the language defines the culture of meaning. so if there's a way to accelerate the evolution of language then this is real consciousness expansion and it's a permanent thing. the great legacies of the 60's are in attitudes and language. it boils down to doing your own thing, feeling the vibe, ego-trip, blowing your mind.

The new "ambiguity" means, in a way adjudged favorable to literary, poetic, intellectually and psychologically well-devised and praiseworthily executed linguistic performance, uncertainty of meaning, or difficulty for the interpreter in identifying just what the meaning in question is: it means the old meanings of ambiguity with a difference. it means uncertainty of meaning (of a word or combination of words) purposefully incorporated in a literary composition for the attainment of the utmost possible variety of meaning-play compressible within the verbal limits of the composition.

There is a big difference between a disappointing friend and a deadly enemy. of course the democrats are disappointing. that's what makes them democrats. if they were any more frustrating they'd be your relatives. but in this country they are all that stands between you and darkest night. you know why their symbol is the letter 'd'? because it's a grade that means good enough, but just barely. you know why the republican symbol is 'r'? because it's the noise a pirate makes when he robs you and feeds you to a shark.
