The Left Column

Politics for Poets

Easter again. Very strong this year. It's really Springtime now.

Tommorrow is Marathon Monday, also known as Patriot's Day. The commeration is for the Minutemen and the Patriots of the American Revolutionary War.

When you go to the Battle Road, in Lexington, you can read about how some of the soldiers died. It was a lot different than if you got shot today. And a lot of people did on that day. The ghosts are still there.

I used to work up there so I know my way around. It's worth a stop. But if you go there patriots day, to Minute Man National Park in Lexington, and to Battle Road, you might encounter a reinactment.

There is a great big hill. You get a good view. It's a nice little two minute jaunt up it. You have a very nice view. It's a typical New England knoll, but this one . . . is a little bit different. First, there are no houses up there. The ruins of some old farm building is down the north side of the hill.

opinion: ratchet down the rethoric!

Some say that the BLM armed guards were 'terrorists'. This is a knee jerk response to Harry Reid saying that supporters of Mr. Bundy are 'terrorists', an over reaction in both cases!

People are not terrorists because they carry a gun for BLM. Did any of them fire their rounds? It is the managers who are at fault, not the BLM armed guards. The only thing that might be construed as terrorism is the ripping up of the waterworks at the mesa. Even that is a stretch. Maybe it is more 'malicious destruction of property'. I am not a lawyer in Nevada, nor an expert on Nevada law. We are all citizens of the same country. So respect that these are hard times and guys take the jobs that they have to. They've been misled by their bosses, and put into a ridiculous situation. Calling them terrorists just makes it worse.

It is only for polemics, not for real. They are not.

There is no terrorism there, just overzealous greed by the friends of the powerful.

It would be fun to collaborate on a novel. How would rules for consistent style be crafted and applied? The problem with group-writing is stylistic consistency necessary for the book to be salable. The writing quality needs consistency.

What is the sense in fretting?

So many people are so very touchy. Fortunately there is no complaigning here except by the very blogers themselves.

OK, I've actually got somewhere to go.

how hard is it to use these new symbols in your stuff? Well, first you need to know that they exist. Second, you can just cut and paste them.

I've got a message for . . . Mr Bash (an alias for someone else). Mr Bash, if I use brace expansion with the dot-dot idiom, ie like this:

echo -e {🌃..🌅}{🌍..🌏}{🌑..🌚}" "

why does that not work when

echo -e {🌃,🌄,🌅}{🌍,🌎,🌏}{🌑,🌒,🌓,🌔,🌕,🌖,🌗,🌘,🌙,🌚}" "

will? Maybe I've not ordered the elements properly. Well that little snippit doesn't work that well but t

Clang pans, demanding excellance. He dreams of her like that. He snuggles with her in his mind while he dreams. She is in the far away.

See what she makes with her

The following poem is fresh, whipped up, off the cuff.

  

 They asked the old philosopher
why, when there was tyranny
he didn't take a stand
and here is what he said
"I wouldn't be able to write so well
if I didn't have a head."




  Praise God!
