His rant sent me reeling, a selective view of history followed by crass
generalizations.
If we take his logic and apply to ourselves (something folks like Tex NEVER
do)
we find ourselves in that same leaky boat he just threw everyone else into!
And:
"Third World populations have a strong leader in Indira Ghandi"
What in the name of perdition is that?
Is Texas in some sort of Twilight Zone, was Max drunk,
we my never know the answer to those and other questions.


"After such knowledge, what forgiveness? Think now
History has many cunning passages, contrived corridors
And issues, deceives with whispering ambitions,
Guides us by vanities. Think now
She gives when our attention is distracted
And what she gives, gives with such supple confusions
That the giving famishes the craving. Gives too late
What's not believed in, or if still believed,
In memory only, reconsidered passion. Gives too soon
Into weak hands, what's thought can be dispensed with
Till the refusal propagates a fear. Think
Neither fear nor courage saves us. Unnatural vices
Are fathered by our heroism. Virtues
Are forced upon us by our impudent crimes.
These tears are shaken from the wrath-bearing tree."
T.S. Eliot
