Introducing Caliban

No, Caliban does not derive from taliban and is a sort of anagram of cannibal. The name derived from the play by William Shakespeare "The Tempest".

Caliban is an earthy creature and is the by-product of two very wicked ingredients: the devil and a witch. Like an animal with nothing else but his intuition to survive on, he lives on an island and will never depart from his native instincts. He may be ugly and foolish but caliban is truly natural, with no pompous art form to hide him from what he really is. Man is truly free in the state of nature - Caliban loves the freedom of nature and shuns the way of God.

Why caliban?

"You taught me language and my profit on't /Is I know how to curse"

You offer us a blog and we can spit out vile thoughts on what's happening around us - that's the only way we know how to express ourselves.

Welcome to my virtual island. Hope the curses that I write will be amusing to you. I do not write to please you. I only write to get them off my mind. However, if you feel like you want to justify yourself do not hesitate to write back.
