Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
...Hill and water under sky
New verse:
|
Upon the hearth the fire is red,
Beneath the roof there is a bed;
But not yet weary are our feet,
Still round the corner we may meet
A sudden tree or standing stone
That none have seen but we alone.
Tree and flower and leaf and grass,
Let them pass! Let them pass!
Hill and water under sky,
Pass them by! Pass them by! |
Still round the corner there may wait
A new road or a secret gate,
And though we pass them by today,
Tomorrow we may come this way
And take the hidden paths that run
Towards the Moon or to the Sun.
Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe,
Let them go! Let them go!
Sand and stone and pool and dell,
Fare you well! Fare you well! |
Home is behind, the world ahead,
And there are many paths to tread
Through shadows to the edge of night,
Until the stars are all alight.
Then world behind and home ahead,
We’ll wander back to home and bed.
Mist and twilight, cloud and shade,
Away shall fade! Away shall fade!
Fire and lamp, and meat and bread,
And then to bed! And then to bed! |

"Those who refuse to support and defend a state have *no claim to protection by that state. Killing an anarchist or a pacifist should not be defined as "murder" in a legalistic sense. The offense against the state, if any, should be "Using a deadly weapon inside city limits," or "Creating a traffic hazard," or "Endangering bystanders," or other misdemeanor.
Robert Heinlein
Just saw the above on another thread, one about a bomb threat being thwarted in NYC.

Heh, yeah, that's one of the quotes from The Notebooks of Lazarus Long, by Heinlein. Rose could give you a lot more!

Hmmm ...
Stupidity cannot be cured with money, or through education, or by legislation. Stupidity is not a sin, the victim can’t help being stupid. But stupidity is the only universal capital crime; the sentence is death, there is no appeal, and the execution is carried out automatically and without pity.
Possibly my favorite quote of all time.

I was vey tempted to drive down to the hospital, and administer the death penalty on the spot. Now I have a long list of people with real problems stacked up because of her.

He took said 45 and shot a hole throught the tailgate from the inside out, and commented, "There, now it's got some character!". One of the guys at the bluegrass jams my sister goes to has decorative bullet holes painted on the side of his rig. Can't remember if it was a truck or a junker.
To: Overtaxed
You can get those as stickers/decals. We should start a collection and buy some for Corin.
