Praise for a man who is obviously demented..

I thought C. heston was one of the great actors in the world, and I still like Ben-Hur and El Cid and the 10 Commnadments very much..but Heston's stands on issues such as the NRA and gay rights are fascist at the very best.

He took a turn in his life thinking he could be an intellectual..a huge mistake..he was a good actor, he knew that much about himself, that he could dsraw aude=iences in with his swagger and heroic gesturing. But when he stepped out of the screen's protective proceniums, he showed his low voltage mind.

His Altzheimer's Disease is very sad, but the latter part of his life, beyond Touch of Evil, and Will Penny is even sadder.

A tragic case.

What a man! This kind of man is fast disappearing. Great collection of quotes, as well. He has a marvelous memory - must not have drunk much fluoridated water!

This writer Robert Scott Stiner... is a theif, a con artist,sadist, drug addict, who is also physically and mentally abusive. Along with many other very distrubing and dispicable things that shake me to my core. Robert Scott Stiner proves just because you read the bible and can call upon all its wonderful glory and insight doesn't mean you practice the word of God. This man is the epitome of evil and no one should buy this book or go near this man. He will hurt you mentally, physically and spiritually. Please, I pray that you take all these reviews to heart as this is a godless man with no morals or care for god's children. I have known people who he has stolen from, lied to and all around preyed upon their kindness.  I pray for his victims and for justice to be swift.

No insight into a very gifted but very sick man.

THIS GUY THINKS HE IS THE BEST THING SINCE SLICED BREAD. HIS MUSIC IS OK, BUT WHAT TURNS ME OFF TO IT IS THE FACT THAT HE IS SO HIGH ON HIMSELF.  IFYOU EVER SEE HIM LIVE, DON'T EVEN TRY TO TALK TO HIM...HE IS ARROGANT AND  POMPOUS....

...he is fooling the public with this "nice" guy image! HE IS A MAN...what does he know about cleaning! THIS ridiculous mop will ONLY WORK on the pull-and push basis!!! IT makes cleaning so hard and it causes so much effort, that I dumped that thing and bought from HSN a mob (the great quality-easy to use Mop X5)...that you turn the power on and steam will come out as much or hot as you need it... you just clean it effortlessly...! WHAT IS SO DECEIVING about this mop is, that NO ONE TELLS you that this MOP will NOT produce ANY STEAM UNLESS you push or pull that thing! ITS USELESS especially for older people and senseless for all other ages who just do not have the TIME to spend all that energy on a mop that will NOT give out any steam until you either PUSH that thing...or pull it...!!! ITS SO RIDICULOUS...and the guy who BRAGS about it and makes it look "so easy" to use? HE is NOT TELLING THE real TRUTH about this MOP: it costs too much and is not worth the effort it takes to use it! DO NOT TRUST HIM! DO NOT BELIEVE HIM... because HE has the tongue of a deceiver...and I am not the only one who has recognized that! IT IS terrible to sell a product that makes cleaning such a hard job that you are better off getting on your knees and scrubbing the floor with your own hands: which is exactly what I ended up doing!

Through funny and shameful circumstances, I would have to say Karl has picked up a world view that is next to genius. He is very impressive to me and one of the finest men on earth.

I just wanted to say thank you for addressing another dimension of the addiction and mental health battle. Awareness is significantly lower than where it needs to be. Kudos for the Semicolon reference.
Also, poor Harris should probably get a little ugly. He's a magnet for deranged women.

Simon's Psilocybin experiences don't seem to have opened him up at all, he comes across as a very closed person. So hilarious to hear him pontificating about the wonderful Terence McKenna, it is so obvious that he doesn't understand where Terence is coming from, trying to offer up that beautiful wisdom for verification by mainstream commercially inclined materialist science. I feel that Simon should check out where he,s getting his mushrooms, because they certainly don't seem to be enlightening him!

The only thing I can say is that it absolutely amazes me is how  there are so many major events he could neither remember or comprehend while under oath, yet he has such an amazing knack for remembering the massive amounts of details concerning trivial B/S needed to fill 900 pages.  Seriously, how can anyone other than those Clinton lovers which drink the poisoned cool-aid as they did in Jonestown ever begin to believe a single word from this pathetic excuse for a human being.  As for me, if the former president told me it was 12:00 noon I would open to t door to see it there was light outside.  I borrowed this massive compilation of wasted paper simply because I refused to support him by purchasing one.

I am inspired by his ability to be vulnerable and tell his thoughts both good and bad. I am amazed what the human body can endure and how our mind can make or break us.

Now, no explanations are needed. I do not deny and I do not believe; I simply know miracles to be part of the world I live in.

The first few episodes, I could not figure out how anyone could like this series.

But the more I watched, the more I wanted to watch.

House is an arrogant, self-absorbed egomaniac who has absolutely no social skills, and no social conscience whatsoever.  He cares about no one on earth other than himself, and yet he does a wonderful service in his diagnoses of ailments that no other doctor could succeed at.  Do you remember Rain Man, which centered around a Savant who knew ONE thing and virtually nothing else?  Institutionalized because he could not possibly care for himself, yet was a mathematical genius.
Dr. House is this way with medical diagnoses; he is an absolute genius at it, and will worm his way in to your soul with his antics.  No one would possibly actually LIKE this guy, but if I ever have some mystery ailment, I would want someone this good to work on my case.

The perephrial characters actually make the show.  They are likeable, and are such a sharp contrast to the central figure of House.

Do not judge the show on one episode; watch several before you decide.

dudes, this freakin idiot tears down every good thing about our society and replaces it with waht?  more sh**.  worse sh**.  there's only one way to deal with people like this -- tie their eyelids open so they have to watch endless h ours of their own tedious sh**.  after that, maybe they will come to a profound understanding of  how irrelevant they are, and maybe become, like, loggers.  i'm out.  j.

I ordered this book sight unseen after reading a favorable review in one of my favorite magazines&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/The-Economist/dp/B00077B7M6/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">The Economist</a>.  I have always been a huge fan of walking - seeing the world from 5+ feet, moving on at a pace that allows one to engage and disengage at will.

What I ordered this book I hoped to see something on physiology, psychology or philosophy of walking.  Instead, this book treats one to a high-speed flow of consciousness - any which thought that flits into the author's mind as he walks goes straight onto the page.  The man has an active mind, and the book runs at a pace of a noisy blender.

Now that I had the book in hand, I looked at the dust cover blurbs:

"...demented charm" - Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times
"...not for the faint of heart" - Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.

Wow! When a major reviewer calls a writer demented and the publisher puts that on the back of the book, that is bizzarre, to say the least.

I am sure the author has his audience, and there will be people who'll love this book.  Like chewing gum or watching game shows, it will take you away from your life and into another reality.  My copy, however, is going right back to amazon.

There are some interesting bits I did not know. I learned that while I might disagree with him, I would like and respect him. In his drive to set records straight, he reveals the inner thoughts of a wonk cum manager. It would be easy to mak fun of his self justifications except this is a good man ho has servd his country.

This author is dangerous. He changes the reality of our lives. Fear him and his damnable talent. We must find a way to make him the next cleaner, for he weaves truth from fiction and makes us all live it ... he is to be shunned and feared for he is a mad genius , a wordsmith, a troublemaker .... We on level one must stop his truths, he makes them all think too much , he is anathama to our plans, he is the revealer in the dark, he is one of the damnable red spinning alert lights to our sleepy contentment ....  He makes those who have never had the urge to write neither jot nor tittle themselves become envious of his talent ...  He shall be awarded a cake ...

Ok, enough fun ! .. He made me just want to write all of the above. Oh my word but I am NOT one of the 'casual' reviewers who reads a book at Amazon and out of some weak and undeserved feeling to 'just be kind' ... give 5 stars
out of lying politeness ... no indeed, I am picky, I am critical, I want my books perfect, I want in my bloated ego for every author to curve the story arc to MY way of thinking ... I want editing, I want to be transported into the story, I want to feel that I know all of the characters, I want to be made to love them, I want to see them again in yet another novel ... give this all to me or go away sad and puny author !  .....  Now this Author comes along ... This miracle of the word processor, this man has crammed all of my expectations down my throat ... this man has taken talent to a new and opulent level of 'too much' talent for any one man .... there seems now to be nothing left to read unless this Author writes it ....  You dog ! You've ruined what dim lights were out there ... dim but at least 'readable' ... dim but at least 'time passing' enough to get by ... Now I have tasted rare and aged steak in the cafeteria on level ONE ... I can no longer eat the author's gruel from the lowly maintenence level of kindle area 145 DEEP ...  On my honor ... DO NOT pass this book up at any current or future price ... be certain to buy the entire story collection ... Oh, I am so jealous of this talented man , he is pain in my soul ... I want a talent ... any talent at all ... that equals this madman's skill .... He leaves nothing left worth reading, what a pain in my heart he has made .... Many future kindle downloads will be nothing but anti-climax from this point on ... I feel I simply MUST balance this review with some small criticism , it would be inapropriate not to do so  .... but there is simply no way to find a flaw in perfection ....  One silly last thing ... Oh ! thank you thank you for not writing those same tired lines used every single time a female heroine is put on a mission where it is dirty, slimy, dusty, or in some way unclean ... I refer to that overworked double handful of words as follows : ....  " She was tired, filth smeared and in desperate need of a warm relaxing shower, a cup of tea, and a fresh robe and slippers ..."  (Has everyone stopped drinking coffee in these damn novels ???? )

I had a good chuckle with the review by Bill Humpf, and have to agree with a lot of it.  According to Wikipedia, Reies 'crystalized' his perception of the 'Anglo Psychopathy' while held a the mental institution.  Had to laugh out loud, when just after his strange rant on this (I'm not sure how the liberty bell or Washigton's failure to father a son has to do with ALL anglos being psychopaths), but about 2 page over he names the names of sevarl who wronged him over the years, and many of the names are Martinez, Rodriguez, etc...  I do sympathize with all minorities as I am myself, however most of this book is way off base in my opinion.
