T.A.Z.

So I'm back onto the pirate kick. I've noticed that Google AdSense has latched onto my use of that word in a previous post(s) for their categorization of my blog.

So what with that and the popularity of the Pirates..2 (part 3 being filmed this summer), I thought I'd lay some science on ya'll.

I first came upon the subject I'm about to divulge while watching one of Steven King's teleplays brought to me by my local bookmobile in DVD form, "Storm of the Century". He uses the Roanoke Island mystery and the "Croatoan" marking that is part of the legend as plot device (follow below link to get more on the aformentioned).

After some net-searching, I came across this cat named Hakim Bey due to a link of a link of a link. After reading his work The Autonomous Zone, my mind was split wide open about a subject that I had formerly thought was quite fruity. Pfft- Pirates?!

The complete text (reachable by above link) does not pertain solely to piracy, but lays out a treatise for man living in his natural, ungoverened state. In his eyes, the nobel aspect of piracy lies in ultimate freedom.

Now this idea scares us sheepish folk that have been successfully cowed by the state, much as it scared the aristocracy back then. It's akin to the words of Crowley, " Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law." These concepts are dangerous weapons, depending very much on their use and in whose hands they are.

Now if I seem to be back-peddling from one of the previous post's charges that certain Yale parties are bald-faced thieves and murderers, I need to point out something. Escaping tyranny and seeking personal freedom is different than trafficking in the misery of others. Also, history's villians & heroes can often be made from the same cloth or altogether transposed by those that hold the means of production.

Hope you enjoyed the bedtime story...
