This is pretty funny.
I mistook it for fiction until half-way through.
Then I thought: fuck that, this is powerful if its real, waste of my time if its not. Of course, reality is a littie slippier. You can never really hold, it —it just falls through your hands like yesterdays jizz. It was real once, capable of giving new life; Now its just the afterburn, or rugburn , we call the past.

You are cynical asshole, and I like that in a man, sometimes. Everyone needs a friend who better and one worse than he is. I like that you have both bases covered, so really, not so useless afterall—At least not compared to me.

Comment on The Invading Other: Over a Century of Martian Stereotyping by Kevin Thurman

As not only the world grows smaller, so to does the Universe. As your article suggests, it is high time we turned back the Stereotypes in lieu of thoughtful analysis and commentary on Martians.

While the term “alien” does bring up a host of problems socially and economically now, it is not a term we need let die. Instead, perhaps we can re-brand the word as a term for tolerance and understanding, but as the implied meaning stands there is still a differance (to use Derrida’s term) there. There is an infinite gap between subject and alien/other. While that gap may never be crossed, it is great to see articles like your Dr. Darius that promote the attempts, however so unending, to bridge that gap.
