"Rise like Lions
after slumber
In unvanquishable number -
Shake your chains
to earth like dew
Which in sleep
had fallen on you -
Ye are many -
they are few."
~Percy Bysshe Shelley

Hi keedo. The part of my genome that’s not Irish is Norwegian. Might be a good place to live. Some sort of society with room for capitalism where it works and socialism (Christianity?), where morals and human decency require, might save us all. Meanwhile, back in the States, the best lack all conviction, while the worst are full of passionate intensity.
Tonio K has a line in a song that starts “Out here at the end of America”. The repeated refrain is “Say goodbye”.
It’s fascinating you’ve got Percy Shelley on here. I used to dismiss his poetry as jejune, but right about now Ozymandias sounds very good as it might refer to the Vulcans, aka the neocons. “Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair.” certainly fits. Was Shelley an anarchist?
Jen, that’s just amazing! When does the next boat leave? I’m going to start packing now…
The Scandanavians are not afraid to do a lot of social engineering. They think in terms of the good society.
