POLICY: Don't take it so damn' seriously.
The infiniteness of Man is not reduced
to a "split infinity" by wars, taxes,
or"experts" who seek to sell him what
he already has in an infinite amount.

Sub-Policy: We reserve the right to change
our minds f rom issue to issue, or
even from page to page, if we desire.

Sub-Sub-Policy: Each Man has the inherent
right to be his own and only "AuthorW. -- with his wife's permission.

Sub-Sub-Sub-Policy: We have no objection to
"educated guesses" about Man's destiny -- if there's no price tag to it,
and if the guesser has no objection to
our guessing that he's only guessing.

of nuclear war on the Church
"Fathers" -- even tho their policy for centuries was to destroy all intelligent, thinking
men as "heretics ", leaving the
breeding of future races to
their ignorant slaves and chattels. In the same vein, would
it not be unfair to suspect
that children reared by parents
who dared not express themselves freely or do any spiritual research not covered by
canons or papal bulls, might
not be as fearless, progressive and intelligent as if their
parents had been encouraged to
be men and women, rather than
theocratic marionettes?
Not that we'd compare men
to animals, but ask any breeder
what'd happen to his stock if
he continually killed all animals that showed any intelligence, and kept only scrubs
for breeding purposes. There'd
be a few "accidents", probably, in which Nature would insist on putting her best foot
forward, now and then, but if
these were treated as "mutants "
when they grew up and began to
act and think differently from
the herd, even these "accidents" would become fewer and
farther between.

Yes, there was a lot in that
picture from New Orleans which
didn't show in the print. And
we hope the woman kneeling in
supplication to the fat old
man in the black robe awakens
to discover life can be more
beautiful outside stained glass
windows than inside. Because
the Light -- the Light that
knows no segregation of Race,
Creed, or Belief -- the Light
that shines equally on the saloon and the church, the weed
and the orchid, the priest and
his kneeling petitioner -- the
Light that can convert those
bits of glass into spectrums
of hope -- comes from OUTSIDE
the church, NOT from within.
