I read “Arrowsmith” by Sinclair Lewis a long time ago. Great book. Up there with “Atlas Shrugged” by Ayn Rand.
Regulation can be compared to cell division. When limited to a value-adding function, cell division is great - as in wound healing and reproduction. When regulation goes out of control (as all governments enable and encourage it to do), it becomes a cursed cancer proliferating out of control, a malignancy that brings ruin and destruction.
GN All - Good dreams and a pleasant awakening with fewer predatory parasites in power.
GM to everyone with free will. Choose today’s expenditure of time wisely 😀
I wish you well and hope you soon remember this day as a beautiful nee beginning more than as a loss.
Good idea. If you develop a service that can be applied to multiple makes and models you can likely build a franchise empire should you wish to.
Indeed! I clearly wrote too quickly to have left out this essential aspect of maturity!!
Reminds me a bit of Steppenwolf. Thanks for a note - a good new band to follow.
This stage of maturity often includes implementation of personal strategic reserves of steel, brass, and lead to dissuade those who tax (or extort, as the case may be) from becoming too aggressive in their demands for homage and obedience.
GN All. It seems this Ides of March didn’t witness the demise of any tyrants but there are some promising protests underway by large numbers of individuals coming together voluntarily to oppose scumbags and their lackeys. Perhaps there is reason for hope.
Love and beauty (with timely assistance from strong hands and steel) will undoubtedly flourish long after the parasitic predators are recycled via the magic of compost and renewal.
This book pretty much says it all!
GM this beautiful Ides of March, an appropriate day for any or all of several tyrants around the world to bite the dust and feed the maggots with their rotting flesh - while the rest of us love generously, create value voluntarily, and enjoy the progress of humanity beyond evil’s reach.
GN and peaceful (or inspiring) dreams!
I wonder if the gov of Bhutan also sucks? They started the happiness index (which sou ds like penis)
Good question about Bhutan. I don’t know any details about that government - so I should be careful about making generalizations that are absolute rather than just extremely broad.
Gridlock is welcome! Neither democrats nor republicans are competent to govern.
It would be too easy to say simply, “love.” Perhaps - love that endures and overcomes the distractions of the easier paths.
Just five more days to the Ides of March!
This would be an excellent time for history to repeat itself - with vladimir vladimirovich putin following in the footsteps of the scumbag tyrant, gaius julius caesar, on March 14, 44BC.
The maggots undoubtedly ate well then but their hunger endures.
May the gods steady the head, heart, and hand of the hero who rids humanity of this worthless scourge!
