| I am on a roll now. The joys of a day off. I remember reading a Tom robbins book a long time ago, and one thing that stuck in my head was a line uttered when the character quoted saw a newspaper. the line went "and of course the news was terrible". I was in my twenties at the time and the book was written prior to my birth.
it was "even cowgirls get the blues"
and i dont know how to express the point i am trying to make
has the history of humanity always been in a state of shite?
is it our very nature to be like this, look around you, but now we have better techs to fcuk each other up
The aim of military training is not just to prepare men for battle, but to make them long for it: Louis Simpson
Nothing is more despicable than respect based on fear: Albert Camus

“They tell us that we live in a great free republic; that our institutions are democratic; that we are a free and self-governing people. That is too much, even for a joke. ...

The master class has always declared the wars; the subject class has always fought the battles.” : Eugene Victor Debs
