When down in the weeds of a discussion trying to remember what the words we’re using meant before we started thrashing them, I find it useful to go to Wikipedia for the plain vanilla mainstream non-controversial standard definition. Sometimes, in the descent of the prose, you can trace archaeological levels, though, as in the excerpt [...]

: I finished "The Israel Test" on the plane coming home from the beach, Colin et all my dear frems. I will try to email Colin a brief review tomorrow. It is a very important book, of just over 250 big print pages. I could write more on it right now but right now the blonde below is distracting my attention. There is something about blondes with that look and the puckered lips which drives Jewish men crazy, crazy, crazy, even after a full day of Shabbas prayer, oy vey!

: Just to get it straight, you're talking about Lady

- when you’re a designated shepherd or sheepdog…
March 6, 2010 | 12:17 pm… (remember you can designate yourself) part of you is actually glad to see a wolf, because now you can prove to everyone how important you are, by bossing everyone around for their own good.
“A doctor and a peasant know more than a doctor alone,” the Italians used to say. Self-appointed doctors everywhere are working to suppress this insight. Human societies can save themselves from the next wolf, if they are allowed to do so; but it is hard for them to save themselves from the shepherds.

Collected Poetry of Sully
- Telomeres
February 17, 2010 | 6:23 amTelomeres of defined length,
Were by his God in mankind bent,
To make it sure that aged ones,
Would pass to make room for their sons,
Before they learn to mount the hill,
They yearn to climb, their God to kill.New daughters too then see their day,
As the used up old fair pass away,
And the brighter young can in their turn,
Seek their creator’s iron rules to spurn.One day mankind may beat the odds,
And take on the powers of the gods.
Sure on that day He’ll mold an image,
And include within his toy’s equippage,
A strictly limited telomere,
To set for it a cliff that’s sheer.For once a former God is whipped,
Displaced by his toy free will equipped,
The former toy learns something odd,
About possession of the mind of God,
Namely, knowledge of the entire script,
Makes the endless now a boring crypt.Mere mechanical beasts are not a cure,
For their script entire a God knows for sure,
To divert a toy must have free will,
And at least a chance to climb the hill,
There to displace its God, a bitter pill -
