Much in the way by how a man is defined more by what he chooses not to do than by what he has done. These words of yours are only true because the world is inside down and needs to be righted for as you propose ,There is no more shame.

True as that is, what we choose not to do is always important. Temperance is an important trait for a man to have.

Another fantastic read! There is much wisdom in here, in understanding yourself, and in understanding the paths of both wretches and kings.

Speaking of which! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DiEzx4JPeAc

Thanks for your kind words.

Ah.. LP. What a great song

I have seen them numerous times, my wife by a slew of odd circumstances have not seen them. We had tickets and plans to go see them in WPB as it is close to home, but Chester left us a few weeks prior.

It seems that LP knew a thing or two. That song has the Mario Savio's "put your body upon the gears and upon the wheels.." speech. That is indeed what we need to do, make this apparatus stop. I fear if it gets its way the damage to our species will be irreparable. But we aren't there yet and hope is always in bloom.
