> Meanwhile, down the mall a bit at the Holocaust Museum, an 88 year old man named von Braun (!), reportedly with a well established web and book record of white supremacist racist & anti-Semitic ravings in his "mental kit", enters the building, as far as he can, and starts shooting. One guard is now dead. Second USA domestic terrorist operation in a week. Ah, so much for waterboarding and heavily financed surveillance and such when so much is already transparend and comes with a self and publicly evident and murderous agenda with these guys. So much for paying attention to the obvious.

Actually I come close to shooting people who take click/click flash digital photos during live performances. Tho I try to have a more open John Cage approach to all sounds and such. But I think I could live with an undercover use of the pen. I have actually done haptics in the dark during performances - And sometimes they are the best. Legible handwriting is another story.
