and finally, after a scenario over on starpeople/lightworkers tribe, eye was asked buy 2 people 2 may bee X plain Y eye rite this weigh, and sew hear eye am 2 dew just that..........

wheel start with an X ample from a kaptz blog a while back:

person A states:

"I agree with everything you say here, at least the parts I read. The only thing I raise issue with as a matter of communication and getting valid and necessary points across is the style of endlessly replaced words for other words that are essentially the same words just spelled differently. Though I can see it as a way to make more alien the English language, and even shamaniacally shift perspective through the illusion of language, it has a way of alienating the reader in that it's hard to read this shit, literally. One has to fry these replaced words on the frontal lobe of their brain trying to sort them out so they make some kind of sense before they can even make sense of the real message. If I were you, I'd salt and pepper the distorted language throughout instead of making it the main staple of the meal. It will make it much easier to swallow. Is that not what you're after?"

then person B states:

"If Bedouin started changing his language, he might end up sounding like everyone else. Now there's quite a lot of expression I'm seeing by quite a few folks (a lot thanks to Bedouin I think for getting people here and encouraging them to speak) which I like. But Bedouin's style has made me slow down and feel behind words and meaning and intent. It's like catching up with what is within me, which is in some ways slower than the outside world of big headlines, flashing images, and shouts. Then getting in touch with myself, I seem to have been able to speed up. "

and again from person A):

"Though I can see it as a way to make more alien the English language, and even shamaniacally shift perspective through the illusion of language,"

BING GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yea, you may not like one or 2 and maybe you’re feeling like you can pick and chose who you love and who you don’t but that’s an illusion. Like a colony of ants, we are 1 community of people.

It’s becoming harder and harder to create the world you want to live in. Every day it gets harder. Soon, we will all be criminals that want to create the culture of the world we want to live in. We would be wise to stick together.

Like glue.

Tom, if I were to put myself in the BMorg's shoes (which I can easily, with my history)... I can loudly and proudly say that I would have LIED and told the cops that it was supposed to happen like that and if we lost the event then so be it. I would have protected one of my own to my death. Nobody goes to jail on my watch except me. Nobody can say what the BMorg could have done or not. I'm not saying what they should have done. I'm only saying what I would have done. And truth be told, in the same way that I appreciate the consistancy of the Bush Administration and the Gavin Newsom deal, the BMorg is becoming like so many civic, goverment and other entities. You just know exactly what they are gonna do. Stay the course. When I say that it sickens my stomache that the descions made from their 'board room' (yup) it absolutly baffles me how all this happened. That man stands there as a monument to my broken heart. Hell is the only word I can use to describe the missed opportunity that is BM. Thinking about it brings me to hell. It's tormenting. Yea, you'll downplay everything and gimme that squishy Berkeley "See it from their point of view..." thing and it's just not gonna work. Those receipts would have added up to zero if they would build the man out of scrap wood. But they don't build their "green man" out of scrap. and to make it worse they buy their shitty wood from Home Depot.

Paul Addis attempted to be a hero. Yea, he's a nut job. But really, honestly.... when was the last time you took a risk to be a hero? Ever? Have you ever took a HUGE risk to be a hero? Have you ever even had the chance? If there is one thing that you can not take away from me with the posion of your words and your mockery of my passion to exist in a functional community of persons without commerce... it's this: if presented with the opportunity to be a hero I act without question or fear. We can all be heros. It's kinda why we need monsters. The LLC is a dragon that will be slain by a hero. A hero, such as Paul Addis. Maybe a smarter hero, sure... but if you have lived your life and have not had the opportunity to have your heart burst forth and for you to say "fuck it", and do, simply do... without restriction or weighing the consequences.... to just simply do what is right, as a reaction.... as a equal and opposite reaction as the remedy to the thing, whatever that thing may be... if you have not had this opportunity, then I say you are not alive. I say you are dead. You must be able to be a hero at some point, to someone. No matter how big or how small. No matter what size your audience. You must be a champion. You must have the experience of being the Paladin. To accept the consequence because you did what you thought was right.

This is the experience of being human. Paul Addis has checked that box.

Have you?

This is only one of the topics being presented here. There are many, many factors that contributed to Paul and this sentence and stuff. We can discuss every conceiveable angle. But I would like to say that there is no mental help for Paul in the joint. If you think that there is, you are naïve. Even in a minimum security ‘jail’, as you call it… it’s not gonna help him in any way. My description of jail was mild. I can tell you more. I can tell you about the fat guy who would let you feel his breasts while you jerked off for a ciggerette. Funny, huh? These are the mild things I can talk about. But health care is expensive. So you can literally watch someone’s skin peel off. They’ll give you an asprin. If you think that Paul is going to get mental heath care you are as deluded as he is. Maybe more. It’s bad. Not only worse then you can ever possibly imagine, worse then can even be reported. The conditions are an eclectic mix of 3rd world hygene, corperate bueorcratic paperwork, street-level gang ethics and schoolyard politcs with 250 lb. 7 year olds experimenting with boundries.

We are not talking about a law, a wooden figure or who’s a scumbag here. We are talking about a life, a human life. And I can’t help but notice that no one is offering to lift a finger to help this human. We are drawn to his celebrity and we are trained to be ‘interested’ in the human interest story. But Scott will keep posting more crap on his blog and tomorrow we’ll be talking about the new wiget that can connect your facbook to your coffee cup so everyone in Paupa New Guini knows that you’re eating a bran muffin or whatever. I just don’t want to be guilty of enjoying the show without paying for the ticket.

I propose that anyone who feels the lest amount of compassion for Paul write me an email and ask to be put on a list. I’ll make an email list and we can discuss doing something to help him. Probably the best thing we can do for him is to actually go visit him, and you can also pay for councling while you’re in jail. You can have a ‘therapist’ come and talk to you. In Nevada it’d be like $50 or less I’d guess.

My email address is chickenjohn@chickenjohn.com

Please write in the subject line Friend of Paul Addis

I’ll make a list thing or just cc’ everyone.

Paul tried to be our hero. Lets try to be his. He can be helped. He’ll never be as perfect as Tom, but there is a wonderful side to him. Lets try.

And I hope that other people are doing a better job of not being bitter about the deficiencies of the people who run the event that is the ambassador of our lifestyle then I am. Truly. Please, take a lesson from my rage and bitterness: don’t be like me. Forgive the Bmorg for their consistant and irresponsible actions and shortfallings. They are, in their way, doing what they think is right. Replicating my furious bewilderment will lead you down a dark path.

Paul Addis burned the man down because that’s the kind of world he want’s to live in. I kinda wanna live in that world too. I appreciate and celebrate his commitment to possiblitlity, although I do not applaud his method or his M.O.

It’s becoming harder and harder to create the world you want to live in. Every day it gets harder. Soon, we will all be criminals that want to create the culture of the world we want to live in. We would be wise to stick together.

Like glue.

I posted this on Laughing Squid but thought I'd throw it in the mix here as well... feel free to rip me to shreds and tell me how stupid and pintless and worthless I am. You may also complain about my spelling, and my bad breath. Oh, I'm also kinda cripple. I also have brain damage and studder a little, but it's mostly cute. I will not be voting for Obama...

I am sickened by anyone who has a shred of faith in our legal or prison system. Paul Addis is sick. He needs help. He’s not like you or me. We are responsable for our actions. Notice how we don’t burn things down? He didn’t make an error and needs to be punished. He is having a hard time compartmentalizing reality and fantasy. Find some compassion in your heart for “one of us”. We made him. We put those ideas in his head. We ALL talked about burning the man down early. But it was just bar talk, for fun. We talk about what movie stars would give the best blow job too, but we know that we are never getting Uma Thurman to go down on us. Paul doesn’t know that what he did was wrong in the same way that we would. Things get confusing when you’re scizophrenic. So it’s not like he murdered someone for money or put a ruffie in a young girls drink when she wasn’t looking or intentionally struck someone with his car because they were black or something… in a magical world were dreams come true and where things exist that are impossible… in a place where fantasy and reality collide in a confluence of science, sex, baccanallia and home depot to a soundtrack and a lightshow…. it’s easy to see how someone who is either weak-minded or confused because they are so strong-willed could get lost on the path. Paul Addis was trying to be funny. He wanted to be loved. Really. He wanted to be the good guy. He wanted to be against the bad guys. And years and years of listening to me, John Law, Scott Beale and other people he respects rail relentlessly on the LLC he did what he thought would elevate him to an elite status or something. He felt that was he did was ‘justified’ or whatever. But he’s not qualified to think these thoughts or whatever. He needs help getting through a day without SEVERE conflict. I feel more responsable for him doing this then other people, I have come to find out. And why he didn’t plead insanity is beyond me. But before you go talking about property damage or how someone ‘might’ have got hurt and that jail is a place to think about what you did or whatever… as someone who has been to jail I can honestly say that there is no good that will come out of sending someone there. I am happy that most of you will never know the nightmare of what jail is. That you will never have to experience the solitiary feeling you have when you have no rights. That you will never have to appear sick all the time to try to get people not to rape you. To cut your mouth up and stuff to make it look like you have herpes sores so people don’t want to shove their dicks in your mouth. To not have an intelligent conversation with anyone. To ask your friends to stop comming because the contrast of their visits actually makes the time harder. To watch people die of HepC and AIDS with zero help from anyone. To watch gangs brutally attack each other because of shit that happened on the outside as “payback”. To see the steel gaze of the gaurds who don’t care if you live or die and won’t lift a finer to help you. To beg for more solitary. And then to one day have a ‘good’ day on the inside, and feel like you’re losing your fucking mind.
Paul Addis is 5_ 2_. I am greiving for him.
Before anyone talks about how he ‘deserves it’ or whatever please feel free to understand the idea behind law. A law is one of 2 things: it is an enforcement tool or a deterrent. You are aprehended and brought before the judge when you break a law. But you are judged on your intent. What was Paul’s intent? Indeed. What indeed.
We are a community of people. We are in this together. All of us. Yea, you may not like one or 2 and maybe you’re feeling like you can pick and chose who you love and who you don’t but that’s an illusion. Like a colony of ants, we are 1 community of people. When 1 of us suffers, it affects the others. Please have some respect for this complicated situation and don’t always look for the easy path or right and wrong.

My wife and I have been doing the same ol Beltaine/Samhain observances with the same old republican wiccan/druid/gardenarians who chose a pagan path back in the 60's, and have been patting themselves on the back endlessly about how open minded they are. So Jenni and I plod on with them, doing the same rote, stiff, stilted pagan pagents: calling the four watchtowers yadda yadda... I tried to do my part, volunteering as music coordinator, even hiring drummers as far away as new york city, and yet watching the revel fire and drums degenerate into a sad swingers pickup scene by 2am because everyone is either tanked on AlKeeHawl or too damn old to drum until dawn.
Lord knows I tried, booking psychadelic rock bands, but was told that they, gasp, attract psychadelic drugs with them... which Im sure was terribly distracting for the 2000 shamen that come to these events, UGH. I volunteered for music because I have a vision of dancing the sun up for the equinoxes, yet even throwing money at the problem wouldnt fix it, and almost got fired for, gods protect us all, using Canned Music when noone else would make music... I quit volunteering in '06, but we still continue to show up, after all it is Texas, there's nothing else for solitary-practioners of spirituality to collectively do here, and it won't get better if we quit.
WELL, this Beltaine, DJ Paul from Ashville shows up, talking about this new supahscience pagan-tech he calls 'The Hyperdrive XLR8R', and he tells me, 'first rule is, we dance until dawn...!!!" WHOOO!!!

============================
comment by Don McCasland
on Saturday, June 28th, 2008 at 4:27 pm

I was there in Lovelock last Tuesday to show support for Paul during the restitution and sentencing hearings. I was among the handful of people who were aware of the deal made between the DA and Paul’s public defender that if the amount of damage found in the restitution hearing was low enough, Paul’s charges would be reduced to a misdemeanor. Also among that handful were most of the BMOrg. Discussions were had with Marian, Andy, Harley, and others, letting them know that the power to send Paul to jail was, in fact, in their hands. They have been saying all along that they could not drop the charges, that this was entirely in the DAs hands, but that was not so. They very much could have gone to court and had Paul’s sentence drastically reduced, not sent him to prison, and not made him a felon.

But no, come Tuesday Will Rogers showed up in court with a stack of invoices. He and the DA went over them in the DA’s office before the hearing, and when they were finally presented in court, they totaled 30,000 dollars. The DA asked Will to go over them with him. Will stammered alot, unsure of some of the items, unsure of why some of the numbers for the neon were on an invoice with gas, food, and lodging for volunteers, and some of the numbers for the neon were on other pages. When cross examined by the public defender, he was entirely flumoxed about several items that were purchased on 08/17 or 08/22, both dates that were well before Paul burned the man. But despite the defenders best efforts, knocking off the price of food, lodging, gas for volunteers, knocking off the price of a water pump, the judge stopped him and said “Well, counsel, I still don’t think you’re going to get it under 5000 dollars.” and cut short his efforts. And so they went into a hasty little sentencing hearing. Paul got to speak a few words and that was it.

Besides being sad and concerned for my friend, who needs help that he simply will not get in jail, I feel betrayed. Another close friend went to Marion last week before the hearing to plead that the org help keep Paul out of jail. The discussion went here and there, but Marion said in no uncertain terms, “We do not want to send Paul to jail.” “We do not want to send Paul to jail.”… really? Well, I have to ask then, why did the org pad the invoices with items that could not be part of restitution, the food the gas the lodging, other durable goods, to the tune of 30000 dollars??? We were let know through a back channel that the org was planning in fact, to come with invoices around only 10k. This didn’t happen. Instead, after speaking with us about a compassionate course, they turned around and sent Will in to burn Paul as hard as they could.

And I have comment for those of who, like the judge in NV, keep bringing up the Grace Cathedral incident. Do you really think the SF Police would have jailed Paul for 8 months over a belt full of fireworks, if he hadn’t just gotten the notoriety from burning the man? Paul has been struggling for a while with these mental problems, sadly exacerbated by any of his seeming successes. So, he’s manic and he’s loud and he’s headed to Grace Cathedral (a place very special to him) to pop off some firecrackers. That got him 8 months and a couple of misdemeanors.

Next legal comment.. nowhere in any of the court proceedings was anything proved beyond a reasonable doubt, especially that there people under the man when it was set alight. I’ll have the transcripts of all hearings shortly. We can go over them together if you’d like.

The judge made it very clear during the proceedings. He said several times, “Make no mistake, Burning Man is a for-profit company, that throws an event every year to make money, alot of money, and Paul damaged an important piece of their inventory. This is what this case is about.”

Money. This is about money. ..the american dream.

"BM had two opportunities to close this case with less flesh off Addis’ bones. They declined. In fact, they pushed hard for maximum prosecution and maximum sentence. That’s what they got. Even some people on the legal side were surprised at the level of BM’s vengeance. They didn’t expect “the hippies” to behave that way.

"The judge, as you might expect from a small town in conservative, rural Nevada, was not interested in all the self-important “cultural” arguments from either side, especially from Addis. In his statement at the sentencing hearing he followed BM’s argument that they are running a big business and that Addis caused severe damage to that business. What it boiled down to was money, and BM’s testimony leaned heavily in that direction. If they had gone a little easier in that regard Addis probably would have gotten some jail time, but not four years and a felony rap.

"What you might not realize is that the case opened some old sores in this community. It played right into the hands of a small but powerful group, religious types who don’t like BM and what it stands for. The attitude I heard from one law enforcement guy after the hearing was, “Good. If they say they want tough enforcement out there, that’s what we’ll give them.” These guys are tired of your jokes about Reno 911, people. They don’t find it amusing anymore. (I went to high school with this guy. He’s not shitting around.)"
