Political discussion

"We are all one." "No we're not. Don't get all New Age mushy on me. We're all different, like a big checkerboard that emerged over time, separated by natural barriers. You're not the same as a Taliban fanatic are you?" "Yes I am." "No you're not." "Okay, maybe it's the illusion of distance that caused these rifts, like continents drifting apart. Damn that tectonics!" "Hey guru, ever hear of landlocked borders?" "You mean separated by steep mountains maybe?" "Not always." "But didn't you say..." "Doesn't matter. We're not all the same." "I didn't say that. I said we're all one." "Stop splitting hairs. I swear, sometimes you liberals..."

nice whimsical ride mark

Ommmmmm

Deeper truths are of little practical (marketable?) value...

[Lightning Rod]

yes, this is true
there is no market for surrealist comedy

[mnaz]

I hear 'The Art of War' got some play lately but was dropped due to its connections to the Tao and other holistic hoo-hah. Dead comedy.

relatively speaking I would agree with this

[mnaz]

Relatively, I agree with your agreement relatively well.

Ok that's it. No more mixing deeper truths and politics, as if that were possible. In fact no more of either for a while. What I really need to do is go ride a bike fifty miles or something, start all over again. Yeah, maybe I'll go do that..
