I woke early this morning to the dog's yelping. Still in bed I heard someone raking furiously at a washboard in attempts to drive the animal away. I turned back asleep.
Apparently, so I am told, none of these things happened. What's the difference? I'm sitting on a chair crawling with earwigs, I just blew three off the arm rest and flicked a beetle away with my lighter.
Midnight. Fresh Newport 1oos and Corona.
Diversity versus Excellence
Take aside their aspects and look at the concepts. Democratic diversity of ideas opposed to the hierarchical excellence of an idea. It's a small world, there isn't room for everyone. The single voice's significance exists only in proportion, more means less. More voices and they are heard less. Sustainability means consolidation, to save the tree prune the dead branches.
Unspoke necessities. Easy to nip the neighbor's stray bushes along the property line, easy to shoot someone else's kids. Just grab the beetles by the antenna and throw them off your monitor.
We're hardwired to make new little people, you try pulling that well-greased revolver on the beach and shooting tied up stallions in spring. Tides will turn over black stains on the sand, but try washing blank black eyes--
no one disagrees but we all do it anyway.
To be free is to be one's own fascist.
Grab your washboards, chase out your dogs.
