He criticized the social values of the times and saw society as corrupt and confused.So we see the inevitability of homo sap always being LIARS CHEATS BETRAYERS.Nothing new. The Don of Guantanamo took it to the heights of perverted depravity but he is not new. He is typical of what it means to be a powerful homo sap.Crap.Good to know isn't it? Man was always contemptible corrupt conniving. The nature of the beast apparently. The opposite is an anomaly.So much for striving to be what we aren't. Never will be. HONORABLE HONEST TRUTHFUL Those that are? Mixed bag.Anyway it is Diogenes the Cynic whose views led to STOICISM.I wonder who today seeks those who tell the truth? Who today rejects LIARS?I thought homo saps had degenerated but I see they were always degenerates. Can't make a silk purses out of pig's ear. less
The perfect example.He cheats on his mate with you. He divorces her to marry you. He cheats on you too.Duh.Yet a bazillion fools keep thinking elsewise otherwise. Why aren't they wise to it?

DATELINE: YOUR TOWN, TODAY’S DATEHis political opponents and anyone else he considers his enemies have been roused from their beds overnight and summarily thrown in prison. This amazing feat is a cunning use of semantics and showmanship, because no mayoral election was either scheduled or announced, no one saw it coming.
King Randolph the Great and Exalted One, as he has declared his official title to be, proclaims that he will lead rule with fairness yet firmness, and he will control any and all graft and corruption that have plagued society for all too long.

To be a good sport, I tried it, and I’m telling you, surprisingly, I didn’t hate it. In fact, it wasn’t half bad. Of course, the guacamole was buried in the conglomerate of whatever other foods it was halfheartedly disguised under.
After dinner, it occurred to me that this can’t just be happenstance, and it must have a deeper significance. What does it foretell, what does it portend? When I go to drift off to sleep tonight, will I be summoned along a vast tunnel with a brightly shining light beckoning me by the call of my name? Is this my last day in this world? Am I destined to slip the icy cold grip of this life and float on to the next one?

Why did that man pick up that rifle? Couldn't he foresee the possible consequences from appearances? The cop had no way of knowing. He sees a rifle in someone's hand and someone dead. What would YOU think?I expect there's more out there somewhere as sad as this. Maybe sadder.

At some point 4,100 children "went missing". The schools opened in 1883 and closed in 1996. A shocking thing this. I wonder what other countries are guilty of other shocking tragedies that we don't of...yet?That it is Canada and not some barbaric 3rd world country? Perhaps that is the most shocking for me.

It puts the supplier of the inane off-topic reply in a very bad light. I expect mebbe they think they are being clever if they know. If they don't know well I guess I can't fault them for being oblivious can I?
