"Keep clear of the dupes that talk democracy,
And the dogs that bark revolution.
Drunk with talk, liars and believers.
I believe in my tusks. Long live freedom and damn the ideologies!"

This Perfectly Encapsulates My Thinking About Pop Culture
One of the most difficult of all life lessons to internalize thoroughly is the all-important one about essential indifference. It is crippling to concern oneself too broadly or deeply with what others are doing...unless, of course, what they're doing has a direct and unavoidable effect on you personally. You must accept that when not caring is appropriate, it is vital not to care. Failure to absorb this bit of sturdy wisdom can result in hypertension, ulcers, chronic irritability, social ostracism, and being known as a Curmudgeon. Verbum sat sapienti.
Comments are moderated. I am entirely arbitrary about what I allow to appear here. Toss me a bomb and I might just toss it back with interest. You have been warned.
