Very good, Laz, and I’ve been having similar thoughts all day. I called the local radio station this AM and said this, too.
You said it for us very well!

You recognized me before the others did.
I owe it all to the Top 20. :)

Agreed, watching the self-indulgent euro-weenies thrash in their own sewage will be a sight to see.
The decadence of Europe has been a source of wonder and disparagement for years. The danger is that Zero and minions seem to admire that system and would willingly dump us into similar conditions.

That's one of my favorites of Kipling.
Like this too:
The Hymn of Breaking Strain
By Rudyard Kipling
The careful text books measure (Let all who build beware!) The load, the shock, the pressure Material can bear. So when the buckled girder Lets down the grinding span, The blame of loss or murder, Is laid upon the man! Not on the stuff-the man! But in our daily dealing with stone and steel we find The Gods have no such feeling Of justice toward mankind. To no set guage they made us, - For no laid course prepare - And presently o'ertake us With loads we cannot bear. To Merciless to bear. The Prudent text-books give it In tables at the end - The stress that shears a rivet Or makes a tie-bar bend - What traffic wrecks macadam - What concrete should endure - But we, poor Sons of Adam, Have no such literature, To warn us or make sure! We hold all Earth to plunder - All Time and Space as well - Too wonder-stale to wonder At each new miracle; Till in the mid-illusion Of Godhead 'neath our hand, Falls multiple confusion On all we did or planned. The mighty works we planned. We only of Creation (Oh, luckier bridge and rail!) Abide the twin-damnation - To fail and know we fail. Yet we - by which sole token We know we once wer Gods - Take shame in being broken However great the odds - The burden or the Odds. Oh, veiled and secret Power Whose paths we seek in vain, Be with us in our hour Of overthrow and pain; That we - by which sure token We know thy ways are true - In spite of being broken, Because of being broken, May rise up and build anew. Stand up and build anew! |

Yes Laz... Thank you Sir, may I have another...
Sorry. Kinda had to be said. But yes, please add me to your ping list. Especially if you plan on penning more dissertations of this caliber.

“number 60 when it comes around”
For whom are you saving the vaulted golden ratio “number 69” for?

If I’m not on the list, can you add me?
And if I am on, can you take me off and then put me back on?
To: Larry Lucido
You were actually negative-one listed, so I will need to list you once to make it so you are not on the list, and then add you again to make it so that you are on the list.
