from Yertle the Turtle, by Dr. Seuss No! from Wendell Berry...

Serious:
... "[D]o what we will, we are never going to be free of mortality, partiality, fallibility, and error.
The extent of our knowledge will always be, at the same time, the measure of the extent of our ignorance. Because ignorance is thus a part of creaturely definition, we need an appropriate scale.... thrift.... : A way of Ignorance (humility), which is right livelihood.
Creatures who have armed themselves with the power of limitless destruction should not be following any way laid out by limited knowledge and their unseemly pride in it."
(I have quoted this before. I love essays like this....) William. You are kind. Inspiration is never coming from a void. I'll sell you a dirty broom to clean up your room?
Timberman reminds me of the guy who gets into the Fast Lane at K-Mart.
Mona says, "This aisle is for 12-items or less." W.T. argues, "It's a quart of milk and a dozen brown eggs?" Mona says, "William Timberman, can't you count?" Mona says, "Twelve eggs and a quart of low-fat buttermilk is thirteen." Mona sends W.T. to the back to the slow checkout line?

Glenn gets in line with some Uncle Ben's Rice and a ham hock... He gets knocked out and sent to the Hospital Emergency Room? apologies. It's the lard day. Keep it hoo-la' ha hoopla hoot=owl?

... the "gist"... Much Gracious.

[Read more letters about this article: Here]The FISA 'stuff' is hard for me to comprehend. It baffles a sane mind needing balance and more insights. Thanks.
--- The right of the people to know details of how its government operates, and the governments need to keep information secret to protect national "security"....sure makes be a bit dang fidgety.
`
boiled frog? No. boiled turnips, beets, and brown rice? It's none of their business if I binge eat some ice cream and tell my psychiatrist? They even snoop into the V.A. health records and past fbi dossier content? Yep. And they do subtle 'slurs' and share it with the paid government creeps here? Paranoia? No Senior. Be aware and alert. Dangerous days are here again? For sure.
`
The rights of the people are openly declared (not granted, but affirmed) in the founding documents of our nation. And thanks -- these rights were a Given... and not something Given that can be retractable. by the government, telocoms, or TODAY.
These so-called GOP loyalist to war-crimes are Wrong!
It is to be an accomplice in oil real-estate thuggery? Yes Tex.
Rather, as I understand the old protection... citizens are to denounce secrecy....
Autocrats and/or Right Wing Authoritarians are acting (a label) in the vice mode (not virtue) manner of past-tyrants that need to be replaced. Try in fair courts.
`
If a crop of "left-wingers" or "right-wingers" (whatever!) participate in a RUIN of a form of protection of citizens that worked-somewhat well for 230 (who can count) years.... to shred?
Shame. I've no respect, and the mentality is ill-governed mentality.
A proper dissident is doing Good to denounce the Rights vs. Secrecy....
That's my sincere honest opinion. Violation. Betrayal. Social Rape? huh. spy. peeps. creeps.
P.S.
Call 'um terrorist, federal government, Supreme Court, Ma Bell, Oh Papa, republican, democrat, or GOP...
It is error to violate 'our' "fundamental values"... Ya darn tootin'

Uh-oh!

[Read more letters about this article: Here]The blind person in the ice-cream parlor samples dozens of ice-cream flavors.
When licking the pea and green bean flavor everyone hears a great Uh-oh! This!
LWM- does the hokey-pokey with elderly Salon guest at some future date here?
By then ~ LWM will be holing himself up with a walker and dancing with Timberman?
William says, "My favorite ice-cream is boiled turnips with red beets and rice-creamed.

No! No? Nooooooo. My Mama said, No non Sequiturs. Be serious on Sundays.

[Read more letters about this article: Here]My favorite ice-cream Sunday has yellow corn, puffy marshmallows, dark cocoa, colored sprinkles, and french fried potatoes.
But without sharp thump tacks,
and please on any Given Sunday ~
No nail polish on the dirty toenails.
apologies. I blame chocolate goat milk.

[Read more letters about this article: Here]William Carlos Wlliams, Paterson 1.
`
"Leadership passes into empire; empire begets insolence; insolence brings ruin."
`
I once wrote that to a former member of The Supreme Court about the Constitution of The United States. I should have wrote a lame goat?
Chocolate milk is best. If a goat hoof steps into the bucket ~ keep a secret and serve hot with a few marshmallows and guest will never find out.

Chilly Dogg? I don't know.

[Read more letters about this article: Here]However. A thought.
A paranoid GOP, or a ' whatever ' of a respected honest person,
is no longer convinced all DC hot dog vendors work for al-Qaeda?
A grizzled DOJ employee admits ~ To the American People to Not fear truth!
There is No such thing as a dumb question in these neoconservative doggone days.
The establishment shifts eventually back sooner or later.... Let's just hope real soon.

A human face...
[Read the article: The "liberal" position on the Surveillance State]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]On January 12, 2004, according to David Stout of the 'New York Times' the Supreme Court refused to consider a lower court's ruling, "that the Justice Department was within its rights in refusing to identify more than 700 people (HUMANS with family, faces, and now missing?), most of those Arab and Muslims, arrested for immigration violations in connection with the attacks"
of September 11th, 2001.
The gist? A cold reduced.
It was a fair-legal-case?
That case "pitted two fundamental values against each other----the right of the public to know details...." Why? Where? These humans had faces. Did they wash dishes, scrub floors, cook, have children, and Were They Those Human People who helped made 'profits' for the Bush loyalist CEO's? They had faces.
Put a face on again then.
Where?
Why?
Ask the DOJ?
