I'm thinking

Its true we can tell what toddlers are doing when they slow doun by merely gazing at the little rascals . When we comment on the frailties of men and gazing at them for cash , bitterly reminded that this too solid flesh can only be purchased by authorised retail in and out lets . I tremble with the weight of such goosebumpery yet mighten I reminden that all this prattle about who can get in line for purchases when mixin up the line mighten fine'd interest which market stimulated despite heaven felt intentions simply cannot be returned when the tail in retail is of a feather too too close . As for the sprinting of these proud shoppers they should find a losers gait limp despite the bait . F

While disturbing something else comes to mind

The thought that at least some behavior has been modified by the sure DNA identification process , the consequences for the mentally disturbed or other disturbed in the pursuit of non consensual relationships . It wrinkles my wrinklables to think of ABC making a drama about this . . . . next week . Frederick

I remember the time

The time frame in question was where it started to become fashionable to refute the evidence of your own lying eyes and grab a handful of satisfaction glossing over difficulties painted in shades of grey , with Manichaean Chest Thumpery . The result being that it was unmanly to consider consequences of actions if considerations delayed action . Policies of reducing any possibility of success with disaster , and plenty of work for the disaster crews . Replacing the tax and spend idea of a government that was to promote a secure social contract for the people with , Quick keep spending its a disaster ! Still a mystery to me today how otherwise reasonable and intelligent people can follow whatever Jim Jones panacea pops up . It was also a time where it became acceptable to lie because our esteemed president lied , baldly shiny faced , smiled coldy thereby including you , your tacit approval in the reflecting public smile . Why do used car salesmen have a worse public perception then simple minded corporate hacks ? . Oh yeah good times , makes you want to go solve a Gordian Knot problem a day , instead of using an edged instrument we , like the European powers circa post Victorian Disraeli hallucinations , prefer young mens breasts to wear out the machines of states than the use of our ability to reason . When advised that policy is at loggerheads with - pick 'em - physics , history , tribal tradition etc , Wolfnowitz Bot points to his head and says , no trouble its never been used , like brand new . It , he , could do it this way forever if we keep having children for them to kill .

Lets raise our glass to the media

jlfreund

Or anybody like him who might recall the savaging Al Gore received at the skin deep , unstable , yet predictable press aka, -The Media- should find themselves educated enough to pause before fighting matters that are six foot under at the gate . The recent savaging President Carter received from moderators babbling about Palestinian issues was an unrelieved strain on the brain . Talking as if their cockeyed , albeit mainstream propagandised , recollection of events were in fact substantiated was a perfect example of Media Facts opposed to the public record of historical episodes being denied . Whether or not our American public has awakened to the point where the self serving propaganda delivered by corporate vendors is now inured or ignored is what the question will defined as , then expose what is possible . My complaint or fear is that the same people who believe that there is an argument over who was responsible for the September eleventh attacks on NY and PA will still be susceptible to like minded corporate confabulation .

Vico , who I have no knowledge of

Vico , who I have no knowledge of certainly has a quaint familiarity which is much missed in the impersonal murderous poison policy tactics , promulgated by our dear Republican friends .

I am reminded of Dimitri Karamozov after listening to his brother Ivan's sophistry reduced to the disturbing refrain of "all things are acceptable" as an image of our Heroic Decider .

As for the two thousand years of a Palestinian Palestine , a missed analysis , I wonder what carpets -- SR finds so munch-able as perhaps to recommend the ones he has been munching on himself . At least as a basis of his argument that their exists a reason outside of hubris , guilt and convenience to avoid the obvious and disgustingly painful truth . What was for two thousand years a Palestine that was not deeded by supernatural real estate agents to award other peoples land to unprovable and fantastic claims .

Must be very good carpet , Flame Flavored Carpet ? , suggests that someone is dipping into the projection well a little deeply . -- SR your anger is better directed to your own health rather than the imagined ills of reasonable people who choose reasonable means to resolve difficult and seemingly intractable issues that you feel the need to trivialise with your infantile patronising , ugly self projection .

It is a character , really

Dear -- stevio :

I believe it has been illustrated , by these singular leaders , as a comma or more recently as just a number , which , oddly , if you think about it is just like nimble except clumsier .
