Food for Thought - or Discourse

No apologies to Bob Dylan for ripping of some of his lyrics.

How many people must a man put down
Before he thinks he’s a man?
Yes, 'n' how many chicks must any creep assail
Before enough’s at his hand?
Yes, 'n' how many times must a banger be dissed
Before he’s taken from this land?
The answer, my friend, is all that he can
The answer is all that he can.

How many years can corruption exist
Before news people will see
Yes, 'n' how many years can this nation exist
Before we never will be?
Yes, 'n' how many times can a man turn his head
Pretending he just doesn't see?
The answer, my friend, is don’t wait until the end.
The answer is don’t wait until the end.

How many times must a man look at truth
Before he can see every lie
Yes, 'n' how many ears must one man have
Before he can hear another’s cry?
Yes, 'n' how many deaths will it take till he knows
That too many officials have lied?
The answer, my friend, is not until the end
The answer is wait until the end.

I didn't think that asking questions (even when you knew the answer) could be construed as whining. Having given it some thought you may be right. My wife (and everyone's) asks, "Are you going to wear that?" or "When are going to the (fill in)?" or "When are you going to clean the garage?" How about, "Are you going to spend the rest of your life in that shop?" You get the idea; actually most of you got it years ago but haven't figured out how to deal with it yet.

The answer my friend is not until the end - not until the end.

And-- at the end my friend won't care about any answer.

I did not detect any whining in Dylan's lyrics. Criticism, yes, but no whining.

I agree.

There's whining.

There's criticism.

And there's raw, pure Evil-

Yeah, it was only 4 of MY employees, and like 20 lies ago. Besides, Susan Rice made all the lies.

Hey, did anyone know, I'm running for President next time? That'd make Bill the first man. He'd be the first person to sleep with the first lady, AND the president.

Sorry, couldn't help myself.

You really think so? What about Elenore Roosevelt (forget that, she was. . .well you know. Lady Bird Johnson? Nope, who would want to sleep with her? Her "Beautify America" plan meant putting a bag over her head (poor woman, she was born that way). Jackie Kennedy-Onasis; JFK may not have been the first and wasn't the last one. Why are these questionable First Ladies all Democrats?

Technically you are correct but who cares about technicalities? They are all dead and that was two years ago, so forget about it. Politics move on.
