Out of interest, what does " COMMERCIAL POPULARIST KA KA " actually mean?
It's not that I don't have a revulsion to the dilution and degradation of
culture that is going on, money and status rule all, even in poetry these
days, I used to like the art because of its threadbare economics, among
other things, but the open ground that it once threatened to be is fast
becoming a memory. One of the things I notice on all poetry lists I am a
member of is the lack of discussion of meaning, what seems to matter is to
be noticed. Ah what the hell.
But as for Pol Pot, fortunately I don't wear specs, and my Brummie accent
could never be taken as a sign of intelligence, but reducing all the cities
and towns in the UK and forcing their population into the fields in
mediaeval conditions would I guess result in a rapid reduction of a
population of 58 to 60 million to about 1 to 2 million max, within a few
winters. H'm, sounds like mass murder that.
