Is the Internet free

Image
24 hours to keep the net neutral I have been using the Internet since the days of text only bulletin boards and three hundred baud communications.   To reduce free electronic expression to a paid luxury is an obvious crime.  This service developed for the military to insure communications should telephone lines be disrupted is now considered another commodity to be sold to the highest bidders.  Is freedom just another word for nothing left to loose?

Busted flat in Baton Rouge, headin' for the trains, Feelin' nearly faded as my jeans. Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained, Took us all the way to New Orleans. Took my harpoon out of my dirty red bandana And was blowin' sad while Bobby sang the blues, With them windshield wipers slappin' tim

Why Niccolo

Image
Why Niccolo, do we weep?  Your premise tyme, has vowed to keep,  Our leader men, safe from harm,  Their children wander, arm in arm. In thought's absence, rules prevail,  Mighty ships, set assail,  While burning shores, the conquered land,  'Tis no more, justice grand? Therefore not, conscience suffice,  Nations vain, take glory thrice,  While leaders dead, and leaders gone,  Perform the function, Avalon . Amid innocence, all admit,  With witless wonder, we do permit,  Days of happiness, with no regret,  Your premise  tyme, 'tis well kept.   Sources  BBC  poem  blogger

Super what

You grow numb. You grow weary. I recall discovering a few weeks back that President Trump had lied about two  phone calls , one from the president of Mexico and one from the head of the Boy Scouts. The calls, supposedly to congratulate him, did not exist. They never happened. They were pure inventions. Asked if Trump had  lied , the White House press secretary, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, said, “I wouldn’t say it was a lie.” Source    Roger Cohen, a columnist for The Times    Full nytimes.com article    https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/#inbox/15e14339bb96fc94 Solution http://www.politico.com/story/2017/08/24/john-kelly-trump-control-241967?utm_source=nl-politics-daily-082417 source   www.politico.com

Little Morton Hall

window by Richard de Dale We speak of forgotten sins to boast and pass the time, With laughter in our mouths our souls attempt sublime, Is confession the only cure for ignorant despair? A public cry for absolution fills the air, Thus man in consolation begs forgiveness fair.   Picture source  unknown   Poetry blogger (all poetry and art work not credited is possession of this blogger) 

Vision

Image
I was told once that I had vision.  Haven't been able to capitalize on it since.  Often a form of consolation or awe.  If you find the image appealing ok.  Again this is my blog and I'll cry if I want to, rant, or criticize at will. Occasionally there is universal appeal. No apologies.    Я одного разу сказав, що маю бачення. Не вдалося згодом використати це. Часто це форма втіхи або страху. Якщо ви знайдете образ привабливим добре. Знову ж таки це мій блог, і я буду плакати, якщо я хочу, поговорити або критикувати за бажанням. Іноді існує універсальний заклик. Ніяких вибачень.  Прости google перекладу

The wings of a dragon

This creature was caught in a screened-in enclosure. Catching it was easy.  Taking the photo was something else.  No harm was caused.  This was a catch and release venture.  This can be done with wasps.  Be sure to grasp both wings!

Puppet show

President Trump is warning that U.S.-Russia relations are at a perilous nadir. But for both him and Russian President Vladimir Putin , this particular dark cloud has a distinct silver lining Both leaders are playing both the Russian and US people How do you know   by the style they govern with Trump is not a leader  As he said he is a deal maker Putin is still KGB on the inside and all super hero on the surface Both do what they have to    To maintain credibility Source   http://www.latimes.com   photo  unknown professional photographer

Before meeting with a man Geisha always recognize the scope of his interests and occupations. Therefore, it is easy to establish contacts and competently led the conversation, the man giving more importance in her eyes. Geisha - wise interlocutor with the set speech and a rich vocabulary.
