Read that at first as "Polymoth." I imagined a man, of disco-hero descent, with two huge eyes on wing flaps attached at the hip and at the elbows. The rare Shiny Polyester Sphinx Moth.

I haven't noticed that the universe is working any differently from the way it always has...well, at least for as long as I've been extant on this mortal coil.
Humanity is another story altogether. I wouldn't presume to say whether it's working properly, but I suspect that it's working in perfect accordance with "human nature". I have a few complaints on that subject. Alas, there doesn't seem to be anywhere to register those complaints.
...well, except while looking in the mirror. :mrgreen:
Precisely true, Natch. Mud is still mud, regardless of its color. In the end, we're still reduced to a choice among mudslingers, all of whom are unqualified to rule because they seek to do so. Those who still believe that "their guy" can fix the mess have a great deal to look forward to in the area of losing their delusions.Natch":sgofc2oy said:...he said it earlier in regards to political parties and an (then) upcoming presidential election.
Guess only the color of the mud slung changes?

Anyhow, what you say is true. If the price of freedom is personal responsibility (and it is), then the human species has a long, long way to go. You can "elect" someone else to take that responsibility for you, but that won't make it happen. You'll only end up enslaving yourself to someone who can't possibly know what's best for you in the first place.
I guess that's another part of the problem. Maybe folks just don't want to take responsibility for themselves. It's easier to say "It's the government's job." OK, fine. They you'll reap what you sow there too. And it won't be freedom.
Yeah...sorry about that eloquence thang. It's a birth defect, and it gets me into a lot of trouble. I've looked into surgical correction, but lobotomy seems to be the only cure. :mrgreen:MisterE":xbm1i9cn said:You made my point in your post to Alfredo, except you put it far more eloquently. :mrgreen:
