This are about the largest publishing concern in the world; only beaten out by the florescent yellow "for dummies" series which can be spotted in your bookcase from outside on the sidewalk through a dirty window. A peeping tom knows there is no intellectual in that apartment. I passed by a table at a B&N in which Jewish mysticism for Dummies was sitting there I figured it was National Lampoon special BUT NO it was for real. And I got really into it over two espressos. Its ok to try to be a little more smart as long as you know your stupid is the concept worth billions in publishing. Any book can be sold as long as the words Idiot or Stupid is at the top and they come in a challenged bright color. Being a dummy or an idiot is one thing but what if you're bi polar or a schizophrenic and you need to know how to work on cars? Your out of luck that's what! What is life? Do rocks have souls? Inquiring crazy people want to know! Here's one: The Complete Idiot's Guide to Eating Raw If we're gong to shoot raw and scan raw the only smart thing to do is to be eating raw. Beats reading the manuals. Mark William Rabiner
