Thanks, OCC, for posting the picture of the William Warren book on Jim Thompson. I had forgotten all about it, although I now see it’s still on my bookshelf. In any event, this very interesting volume should be required reading for anybody with a serious interest in modern Thailand.

My favorite line of that speech is toward the end where Galt says he’s been speaking for the last hour, and I’m thinking “I don’t think so. It’s just taken me 4 hours to read what you said.” It cracks me up every time I read it.

>>> Or is he (like “the real Jim Thompson”) the type who prefers boys to girls? <<<<

And there you have it.

Why was “Jim Thompson” lodged in Olberman’s cranium??

Wishful thinking?

If you've understood what I've said, stop supporting your destroyers. Don't accept their philosophy. Your destroyers hold you by means of your endurance, your generosity, your innocence, and your love. Don't exhaust yourself to help build the kind of world that you see around you now. In the name of the best within you, don't sacrifice the world to those who will take away your happiness for it.

STARVE THE BEAST!
