Ruminations on fish fillets, freedom, and belief: thoughts in good season.

"I catch you on the run. You say you're going to a volcano to rescue animals."

Was there really 25% or so in doubt of a plan in the universe, or even a goodness directed at them? Another 12-18% unsure of how to respond such that it endorsed either faith or doubt. To quote Trinity, "how modern the old folks have become!", when goodness is imputed, personification imputed, upon a static set of natural phenomena. 

It's our hopes templated onto a world that can be both cruel and provident, sometimes in the very same instance.

That one philosopher, thoughts out of season grown into such prodigiousness, very cranium pooched, while another was such behind and navel-gazing hard onto the popular consciousness, had come down from the mountaintop in tatters.

A veritable Der Gubermensch.

Could we say 68% were tokens of their system? Was this the upright plurality which is so frowned-upon by the freethinkers? 

And of the doubters pool and the non-committal blanks, were these the gradient of freethinkers that back-rowed and shunned Sunday Night, but sat in Bible Study behind the eyes of hungry racoons, ravenous squirrels, whom were the subset of mankind over-lapping from the universities, the television-obsessed, sex, drugs and rock'n'roll and variously butt-pirates, drag-queens, dispensary agents, and highway men.....

Be ye not.... ...observers of the times....

Profligate information, the very bane of the supposed good dogmatics, and Meta with datasets such that their private portion of computer resources might be used to extract marketing insights. Nevermind a word in good season?

However it comes, I roar.

Let me put to paper now the degaussing of this great big old sumbitch.

Bombast establishing all future bad behaviors, we find in go-rounds ahead certain expectations that will no doubt perturb all humanity. A client state called a hell-hole, our very 51st state, and then expressing the want of a 52nd and 53rd state, citing various good turns that could be lauded upon those populations. Many would anticipate conversely indolent lands become hellholes like that 51st, ignored until it becomes a gripping human interest story, until the power goes out, until Anderson Cooper arrives. It was an unfair pidgeon-holing, rhetoricaly, a self-inflicted papercut of pain without blood.

Not that I don't like the guy. Or don't like the populations of prospective client states.

"I knew it was you, Fredo."

But, he said it himself.

"Johnny Hola knows all the best places."

Better be glad Chuck Norris is cleaning-up the afterlife, because in the meantime, the truth is the route to freedom, and the yoke of bondage your "Purpose Driven Life", and I'll put it absolutely last on my to-do-list to condescend to purchase wildlife for pampering, in some guilded cage, chewing the furniture. I'd sooner purchase ass-butter for myself and your mother to use in our self-guided meditations of self-gratification while staring into each other's eyes like confused twenty-somethings, as if for the very first time, such perpetuity in its anger and "enlightened self-interest".

Anyway, of our "great big old sumbitch", gobbless and good luck, I says, because he is not only the very best of us, though some say not, and the most prominent of us, but he is also the worst of us. So I say, let the best of us have its perfect work in the contested dreams of our American leader. May the worst of us only touch light for the provenance of our cause for freedom, here and abroad.
