And so, David, we reach the point at which our kind must part company with the vast majority of observers of matters political.
The entire paradigm is what I'd describe as a sophistic construct: an edifice built on a false premise.
EVERY analysis that does not account for the Great Game is fatally flawed.
How can we find common ground with our neighbors?
To be truthful, I'm used to this sort of thing. While my peers listened oh so devotedly to the Beatles, I was enthralled by Bird, Trane, Miles, Bud, Tatum, Dolphy, Woods, Pepper, Ellington, Basie, Ella, Carmen, Sarah, Billie, Rollins, Diz, Clifford, Evans, Monk, Fontana, Rosolino, Sinatra, Bennett, Murphy ...
Been outside so long it feels like inside to me.

If an individual, through either his own volition or events over which he had no control, found himself taking up residence in a country undefined by flags or physical borders, he could be assured of one immediate and abiding consequence: He was on his own, and solitude and loneliness would probably be his companions unto the grave.

You can't blame the innocent, they are always guiltless. All you can do is control them or eliminate them. Innocence is a kind of insanity.
