Burroughs himself, by 1979, was once again addicted to heroin. The cheap heroin that was easily purchased outside his door in the Lower East Side "made its way" into his veins, coupled with "gifts" from the overzealous if well-intentioned admirers who frequently visited the Bunker. Although Burroughs would have episodes of being free from heroin, from this point until his death, he was regularly addicted to the drug; he died in 1997 on a methadone maintenance program and James Grauerholz mentioned in an introduction to Last Words: The Final Journals of William S. Burroughs that it was part of his job, while managing Burroughs reading tours in the 80s and 90s, to deal with the "underworld" in each city to secure the author's needed drugs.
I would have thought the US was semi-totalitarian at least since the early 1970s (and Hoover must have dedicated his life to reaching that goal), but I guess I'm showing my age here.
You certainly dont work for that law firm based on your spelling, sentence structure, or ability to persuade. (Thats my wry little way of saying I think you're lying about the law firm bit by the way).
You're obviously not an English teacher, based on your lack of correct punctuation. (Something about glass houses and stones seems apposite here.)
I had a friend go through some of their sessions, and I gave up talking to him about it (and, indeed, most other things) when it seemed like he was more interested in being a robot preaching the virtues of the sessions than a real human being.
From what I have seen, Scientology seems to be more of a social club for wealthy people who are interested in learning how to use aggressive psychological attacks such as hypnotism.
I'd agree. Placed in its historical context, it's a part of the dark side of the 'New Age' movement, along with companies like Mind Dynamics, est/the Forum/Landmark, etc., and dangerous fads in psychotherapy like neuro-linguistic programming.
Prison is also supposed to serve as a disincentive to others to commit the same crime. If I start seeing more and more people around me committing murder and getting away with it, I might start working on my own "little list"...

'Wiivolution', surely.
It's cheap compared to what you'll be paying in 10 or 15 years.
President Bush (the most hated president of our lifetimes)
More than Nixon?
Could be interpreted as expressing his state of mind, and thus not strictly literal, though.
Thank you, Bill Clinton.

Even if there are any kids, they'll end up with mutant superpowers. Everyone's a winner!

Rounding down in both cases from 32768 and 65536? What's wrong with that?
Now, maybe he could team up with Matt Dillon we'd have another blockbuster. That guy was awesome in "Crash".
No thanks, it would slow down development of DragonFlyBSD too much.
brainwashing anyone
Really? The repetition alone would do it to me.

Finally, peace in the Middle East.
I'm moving to Canada. If I can churn out an album a week I should be swimming in money before I know it.
Putting shareware restrictions on software makes someone an evil genius, does it?
I'll say the same thing I say to all the people who whinge about the GPL -- if you don't like the license, don't use the software.
"Data" a girl? I guess she makes Freudian slips at her apparel job?
Also the Ocean tape loader music by Galway.
What part of "please read the article before commenting" is optional?
'Please' usually implies a request.
such as reading the article before commenting and not commenting at all if they don't understand the subject matter
Must have been before my time.
You don't stop obnoxious car drivers by blockading the interstate.
Speak for yourself.

Huh? It was never submitted for ratification.
Even at the time, Kyoto was too little too late. Another ten years without much action on global warming has really left the planet in the shit.
He couldn't get it past a Republican-dominated Congress, unfortunately.
(his other boy friend is in hard code BDSM)
His other boy friend was maid of honor for his wife at their wedding. Dress and all. That's not all that manly.
Thus, the erosion of the signal-to-noise ratio actually becomes a self-reinforcing negative spiral.
Sounds like a reflection of wider popular culture to me. It's certainly nothing peculiar to YouTube.
