1. Thanks for the Oracle. Much appreciated, as always.
2. DECLAS. Gak. This is getting so old. Tease, tease, tease. If that’s the effect it’s having on me, I can only imagine the panic it’s inducing in those who are guilty. So as aggravating as it is to me, probably a very effective strategy.
3. Brave New World. Q #2450. If I’m being honest, I have to say that I find this disturbing. In case you haven’t read “Brave New World” : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brave_New_World
I noted that, and think that Q’s usage of Brave New World did not carry the implication of Aldous Huxley. I know it’s originally a quote from Shakespeare but being the uneducated high school dropout that I am, I don’t know the import. I think The Tempest, which I never saw.
Okay, I read up on it. Don’t really see a connection to The Tempest use of BNW. But I bow to others’ wisdom in this matter.
