Capital Radio DJs have been "in on it" from the. start. One of the first
things I heard in the summer. of 1990 was from a Capital DJ who said, "If
he listens to Capital then he can't be all bad" (supportive, you. see. We're
not bastards). Much of what came over the radio in 1990 is now so. far away
the precise details have been obliterated by time. No diary. was kept of the
details, and although. archives if they exist may give pointers, the
ambiguity of what broadcasters said would. leave that open to
re-interpretation.

In. spring 1994, Chris Tarrant on his Capital morning show made an aside to
someone else in the. studio, about a person he didn't identify. He said,
"You know this bloke? He. says we're trying to kill him. We should be done
for attempted. manslaughter".

That mirrored something I. had said a day or two before. What Tarrant said
was understood by the staff member in the. studio he was saying it to; they
said, "Oh no, don't say that" to Tarrant. If any. archives exist of the
morning show. (probably unlikely) then it could be found there; what he said
was so out. of context that he would be very hard put to find an explanation.
A couple of days later, someone at the. site where I was working repeated the
remark although in a different way; they said there. had been people in a
computer room when automatic fire extinguishers went off and those. people
were. "thinking of suing for attempted manslaughter".

Finally, this. isn't confined to the established radio stations. In 1990
after I had listened to a. pirate radio station in South London for about
half an. hour, there was an audible phone call in the background, followed
by total. silence for a few moments, then shrieks of laughter. "So what are
we supposed to say now? Deadly torture? He's going to talk to us now,. isn't
he?", which meant. that they could hear what I would say in my room.

being lost, everything becomes its own true good.

427. Man does not know in what rank to place himself. He has plainly gone
astray and fallen from his true place without being able to find it again.
He seeks it anxiously and unsuccessfully everywhere in impenetrable
darkness.

428. If it is a sign of weakness to prove God by nature, do not despise
Scripture; if it is a sign of strength to have known these contradictions,
esteem Scripture.

429. The vileness of man in submitting himself to the brutes and in even
worshipping them. e

430. For Port-Royal. The beginning, after having explained the
incomprehensibility.--The greatness and the wretchedness of man are so
evident that the true religion must necessarily teach us both that there is
in man some great source of greatness and a great source of wretchedness. It
must then give us a reason for these astonishing contradictions.

In order to make man happy, it must prove to him that there is a God; that
we ought to love Him; that our true happiness
