Why Am I Logged In??? A Philosophical Discussion

Why am I logged in??? Why are any of us logged in?
On August 22, 2001 I posed the question Am I Logged In??? It was a simple question. It was a question making no accusation, nor absolving blame. It was constructed to be an imperfect (why else ask the question) iambic pentameter haiku. It was a query posed to those with analytic acumen, ownership of a pocket calculator, and the decency of fellow human beings who have the courtesy to close their tags. I felt sure that in kind, the responses would come from engineers, construction project managers, and at least one guy I know who works under the NY subway fixing stuff!
The question I fear, was too linear,and after a fashion, as is my wont, found myself pondering the allegorical, rather than the literal. This is certainly not a quest I take on lightly. Surely there must be at least the semblance of an explanation. I do so with right minded heart. I will seek the answers that allude me. I will do this forthwright and soberly. Especially since I have to deny my favorite adult beverage...Johnnie Walker Red, as the current world situation conjures up too many unshaven images.
Somewhere, my good friends, the answer awaits. Until then I remain always, your good, faithful, (and prescription med deprived),Focault
P.S. A quote from Robert Bolt's play, A Man For All Seasons...."If you must make trouble, make the sort of trouble that's expected."

It is round. It is the "roundness". Round. 0.

It is DEFINITELY the time to swing back, Pendulum.
P.S. Try the Black Label, it's better; as well as the single-malts.

No, you've got me all wrong.
I don't like you because you're a lawyer. I don't trust you because I know you. ;-)

Hmph. You act as if I can't be trusted because of it. Ancient proverb; it is safer to be a mouse in the mouth of a cat, than to be in the hands of a lawyer.
