  Bob Black - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Attacking Marxist state-socialism as much as market capitalism, Black argues that the only way for humans to be free is to reclaim their time from jobs and employment, instead turning necessary subsistence tasks into free play done voluntarily.
Black subsequently acknowledged that he had informed on Hogshire to the police, a claim that led to his alienation from some anarchist circles.
Black believes this is because of criticism Black made of the Church, and he has repeatedly brought up the incident in his writings concerning the Church.

With Bob Black as defender of many of the most liberatory tendencies within modern anti-authoritarian thought, it is an issue which will surely come up with decreasing frequency in the years ahead.
Black is a gifted satirist, whose penchant for pugnaciousness occasionally spills over into his writing, as well as being a much talked about aspect of his private life (an area I am hardly qualified to discuss or pass judgment on).
Black, too, has all too frequently done less than he is capable of, among other things directing his scathing wit at individuals w.ho could hardly be expected to match his skill at satire or polemic.

One altercation between him and underground publisher Jim Hogshire resulted in Hogshire being arrested—a move that alienated Black from many anarchists, as he boasted that he had informed on Hogshire to the police leading to the latter's arrest.
It is alleged that Jim Hogshire aimed a scoped rifle on Bob Black while standing between him and the exit.
Black is known to be disliked by many figures in the underground publishing scene, however, because of disputes between Black and other publishers.

 Black Powder Notebook
For almost thirty-five years fl powder shooting and the many fascinating activities allied to it have been an important part of my life.
Hunting is my primary fl powder shooting interest, and most of my activities revolve around that, but historical reenacting, trekking and the study of life in this country in mid-eighteenth century get a fair share of my attention.
Black powder shooting is synonymous with muzzle loading shooting, with me, and there is only one ignition system worthy of serious consideration, the flint lock.

 What is a Black Belt: A copyrighted martial art training article by Bob Orlando   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
If these definitions are indicative of the uninitiated public's perception of a fl belt, then a fl belt in their eyes is at least "an expert of the highest skill" (except, of course, to those who have successfully beaten up one or more claimants).
Arguments to the contrary aside, the general association of the term "fl belt" with attainment of the highest level of expertise in the martial arts is a common one.
We cannot fault non-martial artists for holding such an idealistic, albeit erroneous, perception of a what a fl belt is. We, as martial artists, are partly to blame for their misunderstanding because we ourselves do not hold a uniform, singular or consistent view of the rank.

 Educate Online Features - Bob Black writes about Morwenna
Bob Black relates some of his experiences of getting inclusive education for a child with Down's syndrome.
We opted for the smaller, slightly more elite of the two schools although the headmaster's grasp of the idea of inclusive education was tenuous to say the least, and I suspect that he saw it more as a short term exercise, a kind of warm hearted social experiment.
Each year the ability gap between Morwenna and her classmates has grown a little wider but she is reading, writing and even learning to touch type and most importantly she goes out to tea with her friends and friends are queuing up to come to her house to play.

 KtB - Being Black at Bob Jones U.
The 18-year-old Bob Jones freshman has been given a starched white thespian-looking blouse, and behind him leans a fake log-cabin wall and a quilt.
He tells him to mimic rubbing salve on the wounds of a beaten man. It’s a jarring moment in the universe: One of the college’s few fl students being told how to perform for a lily-white Bob Jones audience what it means to be enslaved in 1843.
Then there was a vocabulary quiz in English class followed by a discussion of fallacious disjointed syllogisms using biblical examples, then orientation class for a lecture on the college’s art collection (proclaimed to be the second largest collection of religious art in the western hemisphere, after the Vatican’s).

Black doesn't have anything to say about this glaring hole in his world-view; he just ignores it, as he does with anything else that doesn't fit into his prescriptive model of society.
Black brings up an idea, or makes a point, attacks his subject in colorful language, and then leaves it more or less at that.
Black's attack is mostly to make fun of what he despises.

 Bill Brown on Bob Black
It is quite fitting that Bob Black should write of the voiceless dead in "Brownian Motion," his review of my review of Len Bracken's lifeless book Guy Debord: Revolutionary.
And yet Bob Black's corpse continues to stagger on, to show its awful face, to put its voiceless words into published texts about events in the world of the living.
Black's "critique" of me -- one "Critic" critiques another -- is literally full of ghosts, spirits that continue to haunt him, sometimes years after their putative passing.

 Bob Ballard @ National Geographic Magazine   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
But for expedition leader Robert D. Ballard, who is spending $40,000 a day on the project and is losing priceless research time—having invested millions in a state-of-the-art remotely controlled submersible, deep-sea high-definition cameras, and a futuristic high-bandwidth satellite communications system—there's nothing magical about the nightly carnival on the dock.
Hercules, the ROV Bob Ballard used on his expedition to the Black Sea and Mediterranean in 2003, was developed in collaboration with the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute (WHOI) in Massachusetts, which has pioneered research with the use of ROVs for science.
WHOI is currently working on autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs), which are similar to ROVs but are able to dive underwater and collect information without any form of cable or other physical attachment to the surface, allowing them the freedom to stay under for much longer periods of time.

 Bob Black attack on Ward Churchill : SF Bay Area Indymedia
Considering the variation on this theme which Churchill was later to make a career out of, it is a fine irony that Black Panther Fred Hampton condemned the Weathermen as "custeristic." The 1970s were years in which the left both declined (in its following) and decomposed (into various racial, sexual and ideological special-interest groups.
Tens of millions of whites, fls and especially Hispanics have more Indian ancestry than Churchill (I may be one of them) but they do not consider themselves Indians and neither does anybody else.
Churchill was expelled in 1993, but continues to bill himself as Co-Director of Colorado AIM and as "a member of the governing council of the American Indian Movement." As Carole Standing Elk, a Dakota and director of the San Francisco Bay Area AIM chapter, says: "It’s obvious he has no spiritual base.

 A Late Answer to Bob Black
Black questions "why aren't the entrepreneurs moving into space on their own, as capitalist economics say they should?" Well, it should be obvious in 1999 that they are, albeit it slowly.
Black distorts my comment on NASA not using External Tanks Corp.'s idea to make cheaper space stations to be me "angling for a government contract." Aside from the fact that I have no connection to that company and no skills in lobbying, this is not true anyway.
I used the example to point out how even though NASA did have (and still does have) an extremely cheap way to build space stations – by using the external tanks of its shuttle as platforms – it has not taken it.
