So if we had to choose, do we protect man or the economy?

If you think like Carl Menger the choice is obvious, yet some still thought protecting the economy was more important than protecting people from COVID-19.

I used to wish I would die in a well.
When all’s well then the good well will end well for Budwell and the horses led there will drink to his memory, even if one is a different color. Can you put a rhyme or riddle to that?

Gonna agree with Veg (again) ..as per evidence of above.

...but since I AM around about the shore...WE_R_DNA

I walked along 'till I found it
I picked it up to look for it
I found I couldn't find it
So I put it down and walked away with it.

What is it?
The riddle solution:

Whining complaints about mirages of silly sightings of course set the atmosphere for showing sillies … which attracted Sally’s silly like a moth to the light of silly’s purpose, Fred.

When folks focus on the fringes while consistently missing the meat of the beat on the launching pad, then either continued pursuit of silly into the vast dada plateau, or good ol’ reliable stillness of motion, scratches the itch better than whining.

It’s the Br’er Rabbit Philosophy of please don’t throw me in the silly patch. When silly is the need to traverse any terrain where a premise can never take flight, then there is no need for the anchors of Nein to feel threatened in the comfy, secure order of the universe that has revealed itself to the need’s capacity for expression, and then of course surprises galore when the need to feed fear of freeing the mind into discovery suffers not only a grounding, but a burial.


This is a Philosophy Of Cut Through The Root of whatever bothers you, which naturally has pathways for all capacities and also many pathways of explanation for all capacities ... and venues.

Find a beat and that's a rap, little fella.


Some folks just hate bossy.

You are so right. Creation must come from the heart.

Suffering is provisional; good news for Tiger Woods.

Do not rely on the provisional meaning, but on the definitive meaning.

Ignorance does exist, oh yes, and although it isn’t much refuge from the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, it can provide a cozy comfort zone for awhile.

And so deep and so tall,
We cannot pick it up.
There is no way at all!”

Some bats are crazy
Some bats are free
A crazy free bat
Is just weird to see
She licks her friends and bites her foes
She wrinkles her nose and wiggles her toes
She flirts like a vixen of twenty-three
With a focus so soft
With a mock so sharp
She’s a simulacrum of … evil
She’s as sharp as a knee
Right where you pee
Who can this be?

We are now at the very turning point at which much of the former Free World is being tempted to make the leap into the “Brave New World.”

All the social, political and economic problems that presently exist have been caused by political leaders. They are now asking you to trust them to end those problems.

The promise is a simple one: You’ll own nothing. And you’ll be happy.

But you’re not required to sign up. All you need do is sit still and accept the transformation to totalitarianism as it plays out.

“No one believes more firmly than Comrade Napoleon that all animals are equal. He would be only too happy to let you make your decisions for yourselves. But sometimes you might make the wrong decisions, comrades, and then where should we be?”
