'cause that's       > all you can ever have, two of the three.              I've painfully found all too many times that if the cost is high, it       detracts from all other factors because how reliable or efficient in       performance can something be if you're always having to throw money at it?              > It's gonna be one or the other.              That's no *choice* at all...so I'll say what Captain Kirk said in the       episode entitled "Operation Annihilate" - "I WANT THAT THIRD ALTERNATIVE"!              > Voltaire explained why refusing good ( and thus accepting bad ) because "       > good " isn't perfect, is a fools game.              > https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perfect_is_the_enemy_of_good              *ACCEPTING* BAD???              That’s what made this MESS in the first place, starting in the Garden Of       Eden when a couple of WICKED IDIOTS decided that PERFECT Good wasn't 'good       enough' for *THEM*...they 'Wanted' to Experience Evil also...and through       their STUPID act of Rebellion and Disobedience, they did precisely       that...and the result has been a Veritable HELL ON EARTH ever since...for       Every Creature...getting ever Worse!!!              That's something we Must RESIST on a Constant 24/7/LIFETIME basis. It's       called Fighting the Good Fight of Faith!!!              > I know. Many others do also. Some apparently don't.              That Comrade Hillary is a Red is common knowledge...even among Idiots.              > Nope, she'll finish it. Mark my words.              She'll certainly try...she's tried it before...it's part of her track       record.       But whether *Americans*, as opposed to those who only take up space here,       go along with it, is another matter.              > Of course, by the time it's obvious to even those who refuse to see what's       > obvious even now, we'll be truely and goodly screwed.              I wrote a song that covers that situation, on the second album, Ignite The       Sky:              6. Why Are You Asking Me?              verse1       you got up this morning but not really feeling right       was it just a bad dream in the middle of the night       or could it be that everything's not really all that bright       and pretending can no longer help your feeling so uptight              you say that it's a strange sensation like it's in the air       there's no way to avoid it because it's everywhere       a constant sense of dread as though life is one big scare       you want to know what I can do now you want me to care              prechorus1       but I've been telling you for all so many years       'til I'm blue in the face and it's driven me to tears              chorus1       so why are you asking me       I've told you time and time again how things were gonna be       unless you quickly wake up open up your eyes and see       while we can still avert this looming vast calamity              verse2       remember when I warned you this was coming in advance       how you called me names and kept insisting there's no chance       but now it's getting hard to do your brainwashed song & dance       'cause reality is finally overpowering the trance              and now you're realizing things ain't really what they seem       a nightmare camouflaged to look more like a pleasant dream       than the horror that it truly is a monstrous wicked scheme       by hard core terrorists whose plans are totally extreme              prechorus2       and although I tried so hard and did my best       you still chose to be a Fool just like all the rest              chorus2       so why are you asking me       I said we must get off our collision course with Tyranny       but you didn't want to hear you'd rather disagree       and that's why now you're whining 'bout it so pathetically              bridge       and to think that you once said we never had it so good       even while the virus just kept spreading like I said it would       too cheap and too lazy to work hard to pay the price       to keep our Heritage despite the Founders' sage advice              verse3       so will you stay awake this time or just go back to sleep       now are you convinced that what you sow is what you'll reap       the seeds of sloth and apathy produced the vines that creep       into our lives and Liberty until we're in too deep              and you thought the paparazzi was somthing to abhor       but look up at all the SpyCams - Orwell's 1984       still think it's a Free country as it once was long before       are you another casualty of their PsyOps War              prechorus3       it's your turn to be concerned to do and think       but there isn't much time left because we're hanging on the brink              chorus3       then why are you asking me       it's time for you to get involved to save our Liberty       while there's still a chance for us to once again be Free       and restore those blessings to ourselves and our posterity              you must do your own part not prevail on yours truly       and so I'll ask you once again why are you asking me              That song is a small glimpse into the very near 'future'...some future!              > I know one who won't. Actually, they told someone I know just today that       > all that bad stuff about Hillary is just lies made up by the republicans.              That's a Zombie like I said...not even inclined to *Think* beyond the       Hegelian Dialectic Manipulation they're being Subjected to...of that       'democrat' and 'republican' Nonsense...Nothing but a set up - 'good' cop       'vs' bad cop - Tweedle Dee & Tweedle DUMB - or more accurately, Thesis and       Antithesis!!!              > Read the Voltaire quote again. It's gonna be Trump or Hillary. Pick one.                     Jim              Like the Three Stooges episode where they're going to be executed, and told       "You can either have your heads cut off or be burned at the stake"...to       which Moe replies, "Cut my head off"...to which Curley responds, "Not me!       I'd rather be burned at the stake"...to which Moe replies, "Why's that"? To       which Curley replies, "A hot st(e)ak(e) is better than a cold chop" Nyah,       nyah, nyah ;)              But this Designed Absence of a CHOICE is no laughing matter!!!       And the very least we should do is NOT GO ALONG WITH IT...because as       Captain Kirk said:       I WANT THAT THIRD ALTERNATIVE!!!              Ouisie              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
