      3rd post - Sock Puppet returning from the mountain top, after consulting his God, Hypocrit-ite, and killing off his nemeses, Charlton Heston and yes, Martin Luther King Jr., to absorb their POWERS to conquer intellectually sophisticated voices from the bowels of the Charlie Rose web-site - torture chamber.

      1st post - self satisfied faux erudition. 2nd - well, why bother, you can see for yourself. ???? Why are we here? Time for a (re)think, eh?

      And it's off to the rodeo. Dios damn doggy doo-doo if you don't. Pissed me off. You F-in jerk. You get on my nerves... And it's off to the rodeo. Gosh darn dang-it if you don't. Pissed me off. You F-in jerk. You get on my nerves... And it's off to the rodeo. lalalalalahh...

      History repeats itself even in our music, even if it's bad, and I can't stop eating spicy food, I mean REALLY SPICY food. Not because I don't care, but because I'm stupid.

      After WWII they threw away the reports and manuals on amphibious landings, too. And who said the military wasn't forward-looking?

      "Progress, far from consisting in change, depends on retentiveness. When change is absolute there remains no being to improve and no direction is set for possible improvement: and when experience is not retained, as among savages, infancy is perpetual. Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." Santayana Life of Reason Vol 1 1905
