The function of Theology? The recitation of the incomprehensible by the unspeakable to pick the pockets of the unthinking.

I was born into a working class Irish Catholic family at the brutal bottom of the Great Depression. I suppose this early imprinting and conditioning made me a life-long radical. My education was mostly scientific, majoring in electrical engineering and applied math. Those imprints made me a life-long rationalist. I have become increasingly skeptical about, or detached from, the assumption that radicalism and rationalism are the only correct perspectives with which to view life, but they remain my favorite perspectives.

I'm the kind of anarchist whose chief objection to the State is that it kills so many people. Government is the epitome of the deathist philosophy I reject.

Belief is the death of intelligence.

You know, I have found a new way to get high and stay spaced out for hours on end, and the government can't stop me... It's called senility.

Philadelphia merely seems dull because it's next to exciting Camden, New Jersey.

Anyone in the United States today who isn't paranoid must be crazy.
