Then what is the answer?– Not to be deluded by dreams.
To know that great civilizations have broken down into violence,
and their tyrants come, many times before.
When open violence appears, to avoid it with honor or choose
the least ugly faction; these evils are essential.
To keep one’s own integrity, be merciful and uncorrupted
and not wish for evil; and not be duped
By dreams of universal justice or happiness. These dreams will
not be fulfilled.
To know this, and know that however ugly the parts appear
the whole remains beautiful. A severed hand
Is an ugly thing and man dissevered from the earth and stars
and his history… for contemplation or in fact…
Often appears atrociously ugly. Integrity is wholeness,
the greatest beauty is
Organic wholeness, the wholeness of life and things, the divine beauty
of the universe. Love that, not man
Apart from that, or else you will share man’s pitiful confusions,
or drown in despair when his days darken.
— Robinson Jeffers
There is a place where the sidewalk ends
And before the street begins,
And there the grass grows soft and white,
And there the sun burns crimson bright,
And there the moon-bird rests from his flight
To cool in the peppermint wind.
Let us leave this place where the smoke blows black
And the dark street winds and bends.
Past the pits where the asphalt flowers grow
We shall walk with a walk that is measured and slow,
And watch where the chalk-white arrows go
To the place where the sidewalk ends.
Yes we’ll walk with a walk that is measured and slow,
And we’ll go where the chalk-white arrows go,
For the children, they mark, and the children, they know
The place where the sidewalk ends.

She seems nice.
*chortle*. Julie ‘s right.
What are the chances our thoughtful, articulate video commenter is a privileged white woman?
Also, gentlemen, if I may inquire about a matter of taste—what do you think are the chances she will ever be in a position to contemplate having an abortion? If I were a man I wouldn’t go within 50 yards of her. I refer not to her looks—beauty, as well as presentability, really is in the eye of the beholder. I refer to her disposition. What say you, gentlemen?
From across the room, I would see no reason to engage that person. But that’s just me. I’m naturally anti-everything, especially assholes.
I want to know, did her face become her personality or was her personality dragged down by her face?
If she’s worried about an unwanted pregnancy, I have some good news for her.
Spitting image of one of my sisters, sounds like her too when she doesn’t get her way. Lucky she’s not related to you. And …
THATS’ the reason I’m afraid of getting Red Flagged!
There’s an excellent surgery the veterinarians use to keep bitches from barking.
Abortion is certainly not healthcare but cutting this witches’ vocal cords would be.
That pasty faced ranter looks kind of like a modified version of Rosie O’ and I do love that they post their tantrums for the world to see. Rest assured, some future employer will see this, remember it and Karen won’t get hired at the Piggly-Wiggly.
Out here in the fields
She’ll fight for her meals
She’ll get her back into her living
She will need to fight
To eat that night
She won’t need to be forgiven
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Weird…she(?) doesn’t believe in God, but she “prays” that Karma is gonna get the Supreme Court conservatives? Please explain, dear, and show your work.
In her case, I think they should make abortion retrospective.
