   Life's a cast-iron bitch,

   Personally I appreciate beauty in all its forms.

   Footprints, huh? I thought Jimi was mostly too high to leave 'em.   
      
   Anyway, were you trying to point out an inconsistency? Sometimes life *is*   
   a cast-iron bitch, but once you let go of expectations, it gets easier to   
   see the beauty of the way the thing works. When we fuck up, things get   
   harder; when we don't, they get easier: duh. Likewise when things keep   
   working better and better, it seems not too unlikely that one isn't fucking   
   up too severely.   
   Of course if you just fell off a new horse and broke your leg, it's tough   
   to see the beauty in it, because the beauty of it's still in the future,   
   when the broken leg makes you not-good-enough to be impressed into the army   
   during a war.   
   I've been able to see the beauty of it for a while now. For example,   
   election campaign in the US is proceeding precisely as it must. Guess what,   
   *everything* proceeds *precisely* as it must.   
      
   You assignment, if you choose to accept it, is to figure out what that   
   means, so you can decide for yourself what you think about it.

   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~   
   no need. if everything proceeds as it must,   
   then thinking of it is simply superfluous.   
      
   Your pretty separator line interferes. You must be using a real   
   piece-of-shit newsreader, maybe google-groups?   
      
   Anyway, I disagree.   
      
   If you do not think of what is, how can what must be next become?
