It's that time of the year

These days I'm hooked with Kim Jong Il & Wilhelm Reich. Sort of, blended toghether. It must be the christmas thing.

Kim (he goes by Kim)

"Mysterious natural phenomena are being witnessed in different parts of Korea as provincial party conferences adopt resolutions recommending Kim Jong Il as general secretary of the Workers’ Party of Korea. White flowers came into bloom on a pear tree, attracting butterflies and bees at a factory in Pyongyang on September 27. On their way to work, factory workers witnessed this phenomenon and said nature welcomes the festive event."

"Seeing the mysterious natural phenomena, Koreans say Secretary Kim Jong Il is indeed the greatest of great men produced by heaven and that flowers come into bloom to mark the great event."

(From a September 29 bulletin from the Korean Central News Agency, North Korea’s state-run news service. Kim Jong Il, son of former North Korean leader Kim Il Sung, who died in 1994, was confirmed as general secretary of the Workers’ Party of Korea on October 8).

Bill (he goes by Bill)

"My factual position in the case as well as in the world of science of today does not permit me to enter the case against the Food and Drug Administration, since such action would, in my mind, imply admission of the authority of this special branch of the government to pass judgment on primordial, pre-atomic cosmic orgone energy."

From Wilhelm Reich letter to Judge Clifford, 1954. Right on, Bill!
