"Have you all no sense of humor? The comment was the most absurd thing I could think to write, but obviously it found its home here."

My friend, the next time you want to post something absurd, review some of your past posts on Solon, take your pick, and then cut n paste.

Viola! Instant absurdity!

You know how the saying goes, it is the health of the state.

P.S. Post-collagen, a gelatin glue, good as super glue...

for attachment of red puffy lips.... No, no wear lip stick.

Pedinsksa wears no lip stick, as she puffs with distinguishment,

a Pall Mall cigarette. I tease. Pedinska is not 8-feet tall in stilts.

I need time to read the comments. This is a smoke free arena.

US Gov't (GOP), as is often the case, over-politicized (over-moralized?) what should have been a public health issue, and has failed to enact efficacious prophylactic measures (education, condom and needle distribution) since the early eighties and continuing through the present that could have lessened the scope of the epidemic.

Whenever I read you, I wonder about if Weight Watchers' works?

Some of us readers, desire chocolate eclairs, three times a day.

War

Bucky says war comes first, as in antiwar.

All you do is make war on the state. Are you healthy or smart?

I might get up close to 6 feet, but I wouldn't stay there for long. My balance isn't what it used to be. And I've got "issues" with heights. ;->

I had a heron fishing in my little pond a couple of years ago. Didn't take him long to clean it out.

Loons are my most favorite thing about visiting my father's cabin in Canada. The haunting ululations of an evening conversation...such an eerie sound yet, somehow, comforting.

You know that is not what I wrote. Why do you lie?

I wrote that political position of being anti-war came first in my life and explained why. You make light of all those poor men and their stories to score an insignificant little "got-cha". Timberman and the celery love this sort of thing. They both say so.

I don't; and thinking rational people don't.

LWM Please 'skip me' and sing 'skip to a LWM blue heron great loon.... wow. I saw one today.

I usually do, but that's a compliment.

You are like the background radiation left over from the big bang. Awareness of your presence is optimal when subliminal.

People who try to figure you out have already missed the boat.

Is defense against aggression the reason for the state?

Or did the state arise to make war and aggression against "the other" easier?

I'm asking you a simple question. I'm not sure I even know the answer. Do you?

A day may give readers 8-hours of sleep. The waking hours can be a sad boxing spree.

Depression, self hate, and loathe disgust, and the opponent still has merciful sentiments.

Upper cuts, sucker punches, facial smirks, shrill jeers, dejection, and a troll paycheck. Oh.

Buy a suicidal ideation thought... but stay in the goof noble struggle... withstand daily pain.

Those you despise, and the one you inflict hurt boomerangs... You are very silly to refuse to retire. What a true black crepe Go fly kites?

But, go jump back into the foolish lakes?

Wear a wrestling mask. Expose ya's class

Low class! Skeletons. Psychotic boy/girl.

Respect ya's, Jkalos, a heart to the left...

I am running out of time this pm; I have writing to get to. Promises to keep.

I will say that you need to know what you mean by "state" before you ask your question. It is not as simple as it sounds and might surprise you.

While you think over that definition, consider Iceland. What can Medieval Iceland tell us about men and their nature?

We are not clueless, "useful idiots," bucky.

You are.

The "anarchy" in medieval Iceland is a myth, like most anarcho-capitalist libertarian fairy tales.

LIBERTARIAN

I am the very model of a modern Libertarian,

A font of information that's politically contrarian,

I know the economics of abundance and prosperity,

And can quote from every pundit with the uttermost in verity.

I'm very well acquainted, too, with matters theoretical,

And understand the axioms of authors quite heretical,

With Friedman, Smith, Ayn Rand and Locke, with economics Keynesian,

I swing through all their theories like a circus act trapezian.

CHORUS

He swings through all their theories like a circus act trapezian. (repeat)

LIBERTARIAN

I'm very good at splitting hairs; in arguments quite logical,

And giving talks in manners that approach the pedagogical.

In short, on information that's politically contrarian,

I am the very model of a modern Libertarian.

CHORUS

In short, on information that's politically contrarian,

He is the very model of a modern Libertarian.

LIBERTARIAN

I know the mythic history of our lost opportunities,

Of Moots, of Things in Iceland and Utopian Communities,

On Yurok legal systems I can wax in ways quite passionate,

And point out modern relevance in ways that leave you graspin' it.

I laud the rights of ownership and individuality,

Of freedom in the market place and constitutionality,

Though if the latter is (in situation hypothetical),

Any part Statist, then I'll state I'm antithetical.

CHORUS

Though if the latter is (in situation hypothetical),

Any part Statist, then he'll state he's antithetical.

LIBERTARIAN

I can state the failures of our government's morality

And demonstrate the reasons with an eye toward their causality.

In short, on information that's politically contrarian,

I am the very model of a modern Libertarian.

CHORUS

In short, on information that's politically contrarian,

He is the very model of a modern Libertarian.

LIBERTARIAN

Now some may say I sound dogmatic like a priest hieratical,

And preach a jaundiced view of things that verges on fanatical,

That market-place solutions are an article of faith to me,

A viewpoint, they insist, bears no relation to reality,

That medieval Iceland with it's tiny population,

Does not a model make for a super-power nation.

Well if you insist on labels like an amateur taxonomist,

Then I'm the only true man who's a one-handed economist.

CHORUS

He is the only true man who's a one-handed economist. (repeat)

LIBERTARIAN

So what if my alternative to government iniquity,

Is supported solely by examples from antiquity,

But still, in information that's politically contrarian,

I am the very model of a modern Libertarian.

CHORUS

But still, in information that's politically contrarian,

He is the very model of a modern Libertarian.
