Aberree vs Albert
An editorial from the Aberree, September 1961, at the height of Cold War 1. I've chopped and channeled the page into one long column for the best compromise between crowding and legibility.
Sadistic Doom Merchants of Disaster
The only difference between then and now is the officially required "climate" disaster. Cooling then, warming now. Otherwise everything is the same.
Note especially Hart's constant emphasis on the "creative creature", which also comes through in his attitude toward copyrights.

Copyrighting everything you write is a confession that you have little faith in your ability to continue producing salable stuff -- and that there may come a time when you'll have to fall back on your own, protected material to make a living. When we can't produce new copy for The ABERREE, The ABERREE ceases to exist, because we're certain no one wants to read what we said yesterday and today tomorrow.It's a Natural Law attitude. He felt that copyrights were a form of hoarding, both implying and impelling a fear that your MAKEFORCE will run dry. Sharia law follows the same path, discouraging hoarding of money and ability. Our purpose in life is to MAKE something useful and distribute it to others. Hoarding (beyond prudence) leads us to lose our MAKEFORCE.
Labels: Aberree, Make or break, Natural law = Sharia law, skill-estate
