Wow Kerry took the Florida primary!

Yes, Metternich was a reactionary, but he gave "the world" what it wanted: stability. Given what the sick crap of the revolutions of 1848 turned to, he was not all wrong, but yeah, he as a tool of the imperial courts. Within that context, he was pretty damned clever. Jester, dealing with over inflated egoes as a profession is not an easy task. :lol: Remember, I spent a few years as a Navy Pilot, and the ego that goes with that makes for some interesting synergy/dysfunction, pick the day.

Note what the wanker-appeasers want: stability, a bubble wrapped worle, no violence, no bad pictures, no sadness . . . sh*** we all want that, it's the getting it that is such a pain in the arse. No matter what day it is, some one, somewhere in the world, is pissed off. Kumbaya is not a valid policy option, it is a f**king song. I do sincerely wish that the world were otherwise, for "'tis a consummation devoutly to be wished." :(

"What is scary is how limited your perspective is."

This is, unfortunately, true of everyone

Yes indeed, you are absolutely correct on that. You just restated my old saw in different terms:

"Where ya sit determines whatcha see."

Here, I offer you once again a pint of Guinness: it always makes seeing things take on a better light. :D
