"...it's not the training to be mean but the training to be kind that is used to keep us leashed best." ~ Black Dog Red

"In case you haven't recognized the trend: it proceeds action, dissent, speech." ~ davidly, on how wars get done

"...What sort of meager, unerotic existence must a man live to find himself moved to such ecstatic heights by the mundane sniping of a congressional budget fight. The fate of human existence does not hang in the balance. The gods are not arrayed on either side. Poseiden, earth-shaker, has regrettably set his sights on the poor fishermen of northern Japan and not on Washington, D.C. where his ire might do some good--I can think of no better spot for a little wetland reclamation project, if you know what I mean. The fight is neither revolution nor apocalypse; it is hardly even a fight. A lot of apparatchiks are moving a lot of phony numbers with more zeros than a century of soccer scores around, weaving a brittle chrysalis around a gross worm that, some time hence, will emerge, untransformed, still a worm." ~ IOZ

Random Accolades

To Herr Neetch, with his arms around the beaten horse, a Dionysus in chains...

To Diogenes, lantern cast aside, warning the Basileos to get out of his light...

To Omar Khayyam, for untangling a few of the puppet strings...

To Red Emma, and her lovely whip...

And to every immoderate and ungovernable hetaera, anywhere or everywhere, who refuses the tax which governs the principle of her liberty...
