n my mind
a vision comes through
I see you buy
not one paper
but two
A lovely enigma here: Is the person buying the second paper because he/she wishes to get a broader view of things than can be got from any one paper, or is he/she congenitally insecure and unable to rely on any one point of view? | |

with hair so unruly
it would take a troupe of barbers
as disciplined as Lipizzaner stallions
to tame it | |

Posted: 10/10/2009 5:53:14 PM | actually i was thinking
'bout trulio's elder
seeking a newspaper
and his conflict
of whether to give his up.....
from there it appeared
my vision he could consider
buying a second paper.....
then he'd have a spare to share | |

Posted: 10/11/2009 8:30:43 PM | This man was frantic, explaining his dilemma
some responded, many turned away.
Why do the frantic explore the freedom to be frantic?
what saves the rest from baring their behinds? | |

Posted: 10/11/2009 8:56:38 PM | Actually I would like to video this elder and publish it.
But first after taking it I would have to ask his permission to publish it....
Anyway it was in this place called cowboy coffee, which used to be a garage that fixed autos...no body seems to talk to him, and he often leans up at the bar table ( a small round one) and drinks his coffee and read the news....the baristas remain busy and friendly
he is abit scruffy
i sit there sometimes with my laptop, and also read print | |

Posted: 10/12/2009 9:21:03 PM | Yes I remember trying to get a lift, hitching, from Wawa one day, back in the late 70's....no luck...seems to be that there is a prison there...
took the grey hound, and then hitched a ride in a van, with a harley davidson in it, and that took me as far as the nickle belt, then caught a bus to Montreal,
went out to a few places, Westmount, et cetera, then the eastern townships, then on to Gaspasie,
later returned in winter to Vieux Ville de Quebec, and Armagh,
the winter images,
superb in every way | |

refutation, but rather the inverse. There is barely a need to refute your
propositions as they have been substantially refuted for over 60 years.
Few
people wish to waste their time explaining such elementary principals to
someone who has so clearly taken a parti prise.
Now, finally with regards to your "observations" on behaviour, I cite for
you
the words of Ibn Battuta, the celebrated muslim voyager and chronicaler of
the 14th century (died 1368/9):
(From Ibn Batoutah trans from Arabic by C. Demfremery and B. R. Sanguinetti
(Paris 1863) v. IV 421-424.))
What I Found to be Praiseworthy about the conduct of the blacks (sudani) in
contrast to what I found to be bad:
Among the good qualities of this people, we must cite the following:
One, the small number of acts of injustice that take place there (in Mali)
for
of all people, the blacks abhor it (injustice). Two, the general and
complete security that is enjoyed in the country. The traveller, just as
the
sedentary man, has nothing to fear of brigands, theives, or plunderers.
Three the blacks do not confiscate the goods of white who die in their
country, even when these men possess immense treasures. On the contrary,
the
blacks deposit the goods with a man respected among the whites, until the
individuals to whom the goods righfully belong present themselves and take
possession of them."
Battuta could not say the same for the contemporary europeans. What can we
say, other than the primacy of historicity and the importance of

Man's Most Dangerous Myth, the seminal work of the twentieth century on
race, broke the link between genetics and culture, demonstrating that race
is largely a social construction, and not constitutive of significant
biological differences between people. | |

conception, indeed. On the sea there were both motion and sound, something
for the ear to feed upon, a chorus of waters. Here nothingness meets
nothingness and the result is zero, not even a hole. Enough to make one
shake one's head, utterly at a loss." from_The Road Leads On.

Posted: 10/13/2009 8:48:15 PM | | Trulio....how you handle knowledge is as important as gaining knowledge. I appreciate your widely read knowledge but included in your last post is the "humour" of realizing the scope of nothingness. Nothingness is not where you stop. It is where you begin. Peace brother. | |

2. Will the spoken word become the most important communicative tool in
the third millenium?
3. Will the earth have life on it at the end of the next millenium? | |

Posted: 10/15/2009 8:01:05 PM | | Anything that has merit and value will never disappear. Reading a book from start to finish is a whole different experience, physically, than sitting in front of computer screen. I do not care that the young grow up with this mode. Everybody turns forty at some time and realizes that they have been cheated. Will we survive into the next millenium...maybe, maybe not. In the end it is always how you spent your alloted time and not about years in the future. If you did a fairly good job of your life, you have added and not subtracted to the gigantic equation. | |

Posted: 11/1/2009 7:35:32 AM | Death is not a marrowbone
from which you can suck the essence
and set the rest aside
nor is it a smorgasbord
where you sample
the dishes that appeal to you,
and go back for seconds and thirds.
No, it’s the Full Meal Deal
after swallowing which
you dab your lips delicately
and lay your napkin down | |
