Subject: Re: 09-28-2017 Thursday chat by GRIS on 2017/9/28 13:39:35 CLOUDY AND COOL IN THE NATIONS THIS MORNING, FEELS A LOT LIKE FALL. DARLING WIFE GONE TO DALLAS TO GET TOGETHER WITH HER COLLEGE COVEN AND I AM UNSUPERVISED. NOTHING BUT PARTY, PARTY, PARTY. (RIGHT AFTER MY NAP) :-) THE WASP WAR CONTINUES, MAYBE IT WILL TAKE ATTRITION TO WIN. "---AND AFTER THIS IS ACCOMPLISHED, AND THE BRAVE NEW WORLD BEGINS WHEN ALL MEN ARE PAID FOR EXISTING AND NO MAN MUST PAY FOR HIS SINS, AS SURELY AS WATER WILL WET US, AS SURE AS FIRE WILL BURN, THE GODS OF THE COPYBOOK HEADINGS WITH TERROR AND SLAUGHTER RETURN!" THIS EERILY PRESCIENT POEM WAS WRITTEN IN 1919, AS THE "ROARING TWENTIES" WERE REVVING UP. AND, OF COURSE, IN 1929 THE COPYBOOK GODS DID PAY US A VISIT, AND IN 1939 RETURNED WITH ENOUGH FIRE AND SLAUGHTER TO SATISFY ANYBODY. IT IS IN A WAY TIMELESS; YOU CAN IGNORE REALITY ONLY SO LONG BEFORE IT BITES YOU IN THE ASS. BUT AS CHURCHILL SAID, "WHAT WE LEARN FROM HISTORY IS THAT PEOPLE DO NOT LEARN FROM HISTORY." |
