My favorite Shakespeare; it gives me chills because it's so true.
Andria
Alright, here goes my warped sense of connecting the dots.
First the back story.
I read the Francis Bacon, erm, Shakespeare there and am reminded of a recently aired rerun of Law & Order: Criminal Intent. In the episode there is a man recruiting boys from the streets and teaching them Marcus Aurelius, who also ends up teaching
warriors life is for naught. This is also a lot of the theme in Carlos Castanada's writing and then there's Lao Tzu who teaches the same.The guy in the episode recruiting boys was found guilty of murder, conspiracy of murder. He was the
bad guy. He used something originally taught for good in an evil way.
Second the wrap up and gluing in place the pieces.
In the scope of where we are today I find this germane to war used for needless death. It kind of presents the example through philosophy, fiction. "Recruiting boys off the streets to be killers is bad, don't do it." Beyond this it kind of helps me further express that those we thought the
good guys are
bad guys wearing good guy clothes. Have a U.K. based friend that has several flocks of sheep, large commercial grade flocks, all over the world. He I think is English, his wife Scottish. He once told me that as for when the British retreated from out of America they played
The Day The World Turned Upside Down as their withdraw cadence.
Third, when in Rome you dance like back home on Venus.
Yep. All that stuff is larger scale crap I cannot do anything about. That doesn't mean it doesn't weigh on a person. Then, you've the joke that was yesterday. I was scheduled to see a urologist regarding kidney stones. Had to bum a ride when I could to get there. Got there. The receptionist looked at me like I was from Gibbon 6. She explained the doctor I was to see was in Point Pleasant yesterday, he and another doctor time share the office in Ripley. Well, the last time I had gone to see him I didn't due to wrong Oh bumble care insurance. The receptionist from my doctor did not tell my wife his schedule, otherwise my wife would have gotten me a Ripley appointment time. She called the office in Point Pleasant for him, no answer and it was in fact after lunch. Now, I find a new doctor in Parkersburg if we're able.
And well, all the needless death has cost over 57 trillion. That would have been nice put toward a single payer health care package, maybe. It would have been nice used to fix infrastructure, fix schools, fix drinking water problems all right here in our nation. No, we keep making men here in our nation desperate and then criminalizing them for acting desperately to merely survive. I keep threatening my wife that I'll take up drinking to get on disability, might even go do something dumb like shoot up main street while drunk one night. Bet I could get a doctor to spend fifteen minutes to ultra sound kidney stones in jail.
Sorry but there's my humor, off wandering again.
French vanilla preferred, but any vanilla is ok.
