American Address, 1970. permutations of permutations. I took Richard Nixon's State of the Union speech for 1970 (I think). I did a lot of find and replace with it. then I spell checked it. then I Babelfished it (English to French then back again). 3 very distinct versions, this being the 3rd. in each version I did a lot of rewriting. the 1st version is much funnier, but this one developed what I find to be a fascinating language. of course I'm just playing around, but for each version I had a vision (of sorts) as to how to go. I'm not just being mechanical here, tho there is nothing wrong with that either.
