  1. Everyman is late-15th-century English morality play.
    Called by Death, Everyman can persuade none of his friends ~
    Beauty, Kindred, Worldly Goods ~
    To go with him, except Good Deeds.

    HERE BEGINETH A TREATISE
    HOW THE HIGH MOTHER OH HEAVEN SENDETH DEATH
    TO SUMMON EVERY CREATURE
    TO COME AND GIVE ACCOUNT OF THEIR LIVES
    IN THIS WORLD
    AND IS IN MANNER OF A MORAL PLAY.

    ~ * Messenger ~
    I pray you all give your audience,

    And here this matter with reverence,

    By figure a moral play-

    The Summoning of Everyman called it is,

    That of our lives and ending shows

    How transitory we be all day.

    This matter is wonderous precious,

    But the intent of it is more gracious,

    And sweet to bear away.

    The story saith,-Man, in the beginning,

    Look well, and take good heed to the ending,

    Be you never so gay!

    Ye think sin in the beginning full sweet,

    Which in the end causeth thy soul to weep,

    When the body lieth in clay.

    Here shall you see how Fellowship and Jollity,

    Both Strength, Pleasure, and Beauty,

    Will fade from thee as flower in May.

    For ye shall here, how our heavenly king

    Calleth Everyman to a general reckoning:

    Give audience, and here what he doth say.

  2. "Who's an Owl who mimics Meow's.
    O, Who's a very chic foul,
    Urbane, witty, stylish, too
    A very up-to-the-minute friend of mine,
    An artful dodger,
    Who oft quotes Oscar Wilde ~

    'The only thing worse than being talked about
    Is not being talked about.'

    O, yes, elegant, tasteful, classy,
    You name it ~ Not trendy, but smart.
    Who knows Art History, too.
    Who and I hang out with Leonardo
    [... but don't tell Dan ~ !]"
    ~ Master Minor Byrd

    A normal person would leave Iraq and spend just as much annually
    for African developments, primarily stopping hunger in the US and in
    Africa. How many died from Hunger in the USA since the start of this
    war? Who's lives are being saved or not spared?

  4. Perhaps none.

  5. The pleasures of clean clothes
    & fresh vegetables are unrivaled,
    Both scarce
    In the presence of war, poverty,
    Or illness.

    OK. I give up. How does this relate to Oscar Wilde, Leonardo and Master
    Minor Byrd?

  7. America knows no compromize. In Europe
    they ban smoking at airports, but install
    smoking bans. America knows no compromize.
    They take away, offer nothing in exchange.
    They take, and give nothing once taken.
    No compromize. Tips given in Europe by
    Americans is a dollar bill. In Europe I smoke
    comfortably at all airports, right under the no
    smoking sign. There is police, and there is
    European police. They kind of respond to real
    crimes, you know? In the US, 10 seconds
    before people are pointing, and security arrives,
    with a deep-voiced instruction to put out the
    cigarette. Then because i had a security problem,
    when I get on the plane they undress me
    with top security. I make a false move and they
    shoot me.

  8. Typo: In Europe they install smoking booths
    at airports, not smoking bans.

  9. Those who know no compromize are regimists.

  10. Regimists are terrorists.

  11. People who do not give compromizes, should not be
    compromized with.

  12. All smokers know who's the real fascist or
    terrorist. I ban you all. Everybody for this criminal
    hive of utter nonsense and utter terror.

    Best: big [censored]

  14. Bush doesn't believe in Abu Graib tortures,
    but can he humiliate the ordinary Iraqi with his
    illegal presence, humiliate the ordinary Iraqi
    with his illegal regime ideals, humiliate the
    ordinary Iraqi... the taliban was not in Iraq.
    Now its there. Can such humiliation toward
    people of another country be considered
    normal? Not much for the ordinary Iraqi.
    Not much normality in Bush's every issue
    in the eyes of ordinary Iraqis. There is something,
    but not a normal approach. Its not very sane.
    Not very normal, the whole thing. Not very
    not terrorist either, Bush, the whole thing.
    Not not terroristic regimic idiotic. Just abnormality.

  15. They can't think.

  16. They don't think, therefore they are not.
    They are Republicans.

  17. - in front of the whole world -

    They are Republicans.

  18. Lets sing regime songs.

  19. Work. Working people. The familiar faces of Stalin's dream.
    Factory. Its unknown people. Kolhoz, and the machinist,
    the best operator in town, if not in the state. Work, and
    those who don't do not represent the regime, and executed
    for political disruption of the society, his name not identified,
    one of 5000 a week ordered for execution. People like him
    represent public endangerment, a man who hid in a barn
    and avoided work. Stalin's greatest surprize was that [censored]
    attacked him. HIM. The dictator. How was that possible?
    He couldn't understand. It was a complete shock, and
    socks and awes followed. HIM! Attacked by anyone,
    of course he beat [censored], his troops entered Berlin.
    It was Stalin and not the Americans who saved Europe
    from [censored]. Stalin. Him.

  20. And now the big R.
