Amphetamine Gobbler! Hey, I don't want to steal Aza's thunder or whatever, but hey!- it isn't every day that DDE #10 is released. What a swell thing. I didn't expect much response. Already, though, both Spirit of Entropy and Az A. Thoth have contributed files, with some on the way from Petula Clark and others. Yep ... anyway ... on with the show... 'The Rights of the Masochist: Let the Beatings Begin' by Az A. Thoth With the number of lawsuits being brought against police departments having been brought to much greater public attention than ever before, it must be believed that the number of police beatings will, in some small way at least, decrease. Now that's fine for some people, whose civil rights have been violated--and I guess it's nice that unwanted physical attacks should be on a downswing--but there is another, smaller group of people who's right to be willingly violated is being infringed upon. Of course, I am talking about the masochists. There is a small minority that, unlikely as may seem to most people, find ecstasy in pain, and have been enjoying a sort of revival with the easily accessed beatings they can receive right outside their own cars or homes of late. Thanks to the soft heart of the American populace, and the shining beacon of the media, however, the cost of lawsuits being taken up against local police departments is deterring the trusty officers from dispensing their own tough brand of love. This small group of people, of which the author is a definite member and therefore an authority, should legally have the right to consensual pummelings, without their dominator having to fear legal action. And, in this age of political correctness and multi-culturalism, should not everyone be exposed to the joys of pain? After all, how does one know they would not enjoy a good beating if they never receive one? And how can one fully understand the masochists around them if they do not take the time to experience the joys of this sub-culture? As a form of expression protected by the first amendment to the Constitution of the United States, the reception of pain and mutilation provided by a trained professional such as a member of the local police, or, on an intellectual level, a member of congress, must be protected from the recent passivist stances taken by society. We are here, and we will not be denied. As a legitimate minority, it is the author's belief that masochists should also be granted the same special considerations by lawmakers currently granted other, more vocal and more established minorities. By first taking into account the reaction of the masochists, further disputes over laws can be avoided. Until such time as we are recognized, we will continue to fight, even if we don't dish it out: after all, we thoroughly enjoy taking it. `'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`' Distorted Digital Erection February 1994 Text File #10 DDE is fully supported on the Necropolis BBS 216.966.8970 - subterranean telecom - All TEXT! vaginal yeast infections are worse, much worse..
