ANNOUNCING: FINE DIGITAL PRINTS BY AXA

JORGE LUIS BORGES

FINE DIGITAL PRINTS BY AXA/CHARLES SILVER AVAILABLE
by private arrangement.

Because a number of you have asked, as an experiment I am going to offer almost any image in my galleries as hand signed digital prints. I have made an initial selection for display in this gallery. I may change or add selections. I will likely add a display gallery of color selections soon and also put together some portfolio groups with special pricing for Buzznet.

The images are printed individually on 8.5"X11" Canon Photo papers at my studio in The Church of Black Eyebrows.

PLEASE NOTE: SPECIAL PRICING for orders made here at Buzznet as of 08-2005: Prints are $20 each plus $5 shipping & handling each. Shipping will be combined on multiple print orders.

ALSO NOTE: These same prints retail for $200 to $250, unmatted and unframed. By comparison, my traditional b&w silver prints retail for $600 and up.

Message me here with any questions, for further details and to make requests or place orders.

Thanks again, AXA/Charles Silver

The First Communique of the Unitarian Jihad

Jon Carroll

Friday, April 8, 2005

The following is the first communique from a group calling itself Unitarian Jihad. It was sent to me at The Chronicle via an anonymous spam remailer. I have no idea whether other news organizations have received this communique, and, if so, why they have not chosen to print it. Perhaps they fear starting a panic. I feel strongly that the truth, no matter how alarming, trivial or disgusting, must always be told. I am pleased to report that the words below are at least not disgusting:

Greetings to the Imprisoned Citizens of the United States. We are Unitarian Jihad. There is only God, unless there is more than one God. The vote of our God subcommittee is 10-8 in favor of one God, with two abstentions. Brother Flaming Sword of Moderation noted the possibility of there being no God at all, and his objection was noted with love by the secretary.

Greetings to the Imprisoned Citizens of the United States! Too long has your attention been waylaid by the bright baubles of extremist thought. Too long have fundamentalist yahoos of all religions (except Buddhism -- 14-5 vote, no abstentions, fundamentalism subcommittee) made your head hurt. Too long have you been buffeted by angry people who think that God talks to them. You have a right to your moderation! You have the power to be calm! We will use the IED of truth to explode the SUV of dogmatic expression!

People of the United States, why is everyone yelling at you??? Whatever happened to ... you know, everything? Why is the news dominated by nutballs saying that the Ten Commandments have to be tattooed inside the eyelids of every American, or that Allah has told them to kill Americans in order to rid the world of Satan, or that Yahweh has instructed them to go live wherever they feel like, or that Shiva thinks bombing mosques is a great idea? Sister Immaculate Dagger of Peace notes for the record that we mean no disrespect to Jews, Muslims, Christians or Hindus. Referred back to the committee of the whole for further discussion.

We are Unitarian Jihad. We are everywhere. We have not been born again, nor have we sworn a blood oath. We do not think that God cares what we read, what we eat or whom we sleep with. Brother Neutron Bomb of Serenity notes for the record that he does not have a moral code but is nevertheless a good person, and Unexalted Leader Garrote of Forgiveness stipulates that Brother Neutron Bomb of Serenity is a good person, and this is to be reflected in the minutes.

Beware! Unless you people shut up and begin acting like grown-ups with brains enough to understand the difference between political belief and personal faith, the Unitarian Jihad will begin a series of terrorist-like actions. We will take over television studios, kidnap so-called commentators and broadcast calm, well-reasoned discussions of the issues of the day. We will not try for "balance" by hiring fruitcakes; we will try for balance by hiring non-ideologues who have carefully thought through the issues.

We are Unitarian Jihad. We will appear in public places and require people to shake hands with each other. (Sister Hand Grenade of Love suggested that we institute a terror regime of mandatory hugging, but her motion was not formally introduced because of lack of a quorum.) We will require all lobbyists, spokesmen and campaign managers to dress like trout in public. Televangelists will be forced to take jobs as Xerox repair specialists. Demagogues of all stripes will be required to read Proust out loud in prisons.

We are Unitarian Jihad, and our motto is: "Sincerity is not enough." We have heard from enough sincere people to last a lifetime already. Just because you believe it's true doesn't make it true. Just because your motives are pure doesn't mean you are not doing harm. Get a dog, or comfort someone in a nursing home, or just feed the birds in the park. Play basketball. Lighten up. The world is not out to get you, except in the sense that the world is out to get everyone.

Brother Gatling Gun of Patience notes that he's pretty sure the world is out to get him because everyone laughs when he says he is a Unitarian. There were murmurs of assent around the room, and someone suggested that we buy some Congress members and really stick it to the Baptists. But this was deemed against Revolutionary Principles, and Brother Gatling Gun of Patience was remanded to the Sunday Flowers and Banners committee.

People of the United States! We are Unitarian Jihad! We can strike without warning. Pockets of reasonableness and harmony will appear as if from nowhere! Nice people will run the government again! There will be coffee and cookies in the Gandhi Room after the revolution.

Startling new underground group spreads lack of panic! Citizens declare themselves "relatively unafraid" of threats of undeclared rationality. People can still go to France, terrorist leader says.

Bad Noise - how I usually deal with it

Whenever there is too much noise, resistance, interference or neurosis I'll pause to see if it passes. If not I'll switch my channels, drop your channel, turn off the signal and hit reset. If that doesn't work I'll move on. Life is too short, I don't have time for bad noise.

The Anti Akademie - Test

No One Can Join Or Belong. In 13 days I will have been on Buzznet for a whole year. For my first task today I am testing this new Journal feature. Then I think I will be working on a new gallery or two. One will be for a test of the other new feature which allows us to print books. Then I have some of my own printing to do and some new sets of scanning to begin.

My first questions regarding the Journal function: How do you add a photo or photos to the entries ? Why doesn't it work in Opera ? Where is the new comments tab ? Is there a seperate settings function for the Journal ? More questions are likely to follow.
