That’s really FCKN nicely said, db.  No schidt;

...much more than just poignant lyrics on the business end o’ your pen brother.

 

Emerson could not have made it any clearer, ...if he weren’t busy whirling & gnashing in his grave.

 

Although your position does rhapsodize with an air of hopelessness, to some extent. 

Not in energy, but one notion results in the other...unless there’s a mighty charismatic change in public outrage and action.  & that seems to be the rub.  The people’s recourse seems to be falling more and more through the cracks.  & the condition of red-team/blue-team point/counter-point design in media and the day-to-day human grind seems to cancel-out any notion of HEY, LOOK...THIS IZ OUTRAGEOUS!

So what the heck?!  Anything I’ve just suggested here...is easily countered by counter-point design...and effectively canceled-out.  So it’s all just a rant...and the money turns the screws. 

Train, ...train..., ...loooong black train....

 

Perhaps we are...too far gone?  FCK!!

[I know: ...expletive, expletive, ...but it’s a sorrow....] 

 

Man, what a fckn pity.  To be capable of sensing that it could be so different; more benevolent (benign) as well as creative/ardent/inspired...and, yet,

...ahh, ...sheeez!

Eddie Izzard:  ...Other mass murderers have gotten away with it.... Stalin killed many millions, died in his bed, well done there. Pol Pot killed 1.7 million Cambodians, died under house arrest, age 72. Well done, indeed. And the reason we let them get away with it is because they killed their own people. And we're sort of fine with that. Oh, help yourself! You know? We've been trying to kill you for ages! So, if you kill your own people, right on, then. But Hitler killed people next door.... stupid man. After a couple of years, we won't stand for that, will we? Pol Pot killed 1.7 million people, and we can't even deal with that. We think that if someone kills someone, that's murder, you go to prison. You kill 10 people, you go to Texas, they hit you with a brick, that's what they do. 20 people, you go to a hospital and they look at you through a small window forever. And over that, we can't deal with it. You know? If somebody's killed 100 thousand people, we're almost going, "Well done! You killed 100 thousand people?! You must get up very early in the morning! I can't even get down the gym! Your diary must look odd: Get up in the morning, death, death, ...death, ...death, ...death, lunch, death, death, ...death, afternoon tea, death, death, ...death, ...quick shower....
