Their grim empyrean transits while we sleep,
To murder and to maim their helpless foe
Slumbering innocently far below.
They skulk across the town with engines stilled,
Yet this night’s mission shall go unfulfilled -
Though silent and unseen, we know they’re there.
Hark! Now! Our lads wreak vengeance in the air!

That is the land of lost content, I see it shining plain, The happy highways where I went And cannot come again.

The "I" is of course any guy who can convince folks that he is the only authority about what is and everyone else is a bullsh** liar. Bet ya didn't know getting a college degree would so very easy didja?

So SHOULD government shouldn't it or it just a political tool to use as needed and otherwise has no significance at all?. At what point will it bite the country in the a** and dangerously hobble it? At $30 trillion? $50 T? $70T ? What debt is it safe/wise to carry for an intelligent responsible thoughtful administration on behalf of its country? Why?

I'm not a scientist so I leave it to those who are to figure it out. Is it important to know what wet is? Why?

While I think our understanding may be limited perhaps our modes of thinking can be adjusted to view what we see differently. AND maybe we have an ENORMOUS capacity for intellectual growth and the thing that will kick it off, the key to unlocking that door isn't here yet but will be. Do you "maybe" at all or are you not the maybeing type? less

Why wouldn't we create in time and space a place where we could live peaceful lives, productive lives, honorable lives in harmony with others? Why would we create tragedy and misery and duplicity and evil? I don't get it.

What does that make them? Murderers, pushers,evil? Anything to make a buck no matter how or at whose expense? The American way or is that true everywhere? Canada too? Or is America once again uniquely in first place when it comes to another national disgrace? SIGH. Must America win every competition?

Some succeed by working VERY HARD at it while others seem to excel effortlessly. Is it training, dedication, passion, determination that makes the difference or something else?

So it goes the way of the dodo bird, hula hoop, Beanie Baby and Tiny Tim. A novelty that is short-lived and disappears.
WHAT IF you could try on a different life and keep it if it fits and return it if it doesn't? Would you ever dare to walk that path or would you fear doing so? Why?
