A reversal has a satisfying ring to it: leader peon faith disbelief god death demos king; When winter drops to summer, surprises are a shock; Does the system reject an individual circumspect? Politics and modern freedom, the goals established: love, meaning, value; reduce, reuse, stop-cycles; if you’re doing the same things and expecting results declarations won’t make independence; Self and consciousness, a tale as old as literature and analysis; sophists and true philosophers party with heretics and the pope drinking sagacious cocktails learning how to mope. When one end of the stick meets the other, they say, we are opposites, attract, via lawful physics, in fact the real passes for farce in a field that dreams lead to heat on ice, honor on disgust, valor on cowardice, an egg is toast.
