SOMEBODY'S GOTTA DANCE

''Dancing is creating a sculpture that is visible only for a moment.” ... 


A very interesting dinner discussion last night with close family friends. A grand-daughter who wishes to dance ballet professionally, ballet being her overriding passion. Should she do physio, for example, or pursue her dream?

CAN WE AFFORD DREAMS?

LEVIATHAN DETHRONED?

I need to instruct myself and the relevant world in the art of rhetoric - how we present what we ''know'' ...

Let us persuade them - our interests converge and they ''converge at this point''

Life is not geometric, ''The rule'' which Hobbes discussed. Euclid cannot supply our rule for meaning

The ''market'' as our god has clouded our vision - what ''I'' want is an absence of me - I am not fairly defined ... What we are is complex and a metaphysic construct ...

What I want, in some degree I must desire for ''you'' - the fount, or rather spring of wisdom?

BEHOLD YE KRATOS, SMASHER OF TRUTHS #chillwinds

THE 'DISACCURACY' OF ESTABLISHMENT POLITICS: OR, WILL MEN BE PURPOSEFULLY OBTUSE?

Forget ''truthiness'' or the closet-shop liberal world order of late night comedy, identity nostrums and officious cant. Sous La Plage of wandering appetite, lie the seafolk, lost at sea.

Neither right nor left, nor wrong nor right, they are imbalanced by the tidal balance of forgotten force.

Laws serve men, until they will not ....

Let us Rediscover that Law.

SANCTIONS REGIME

1. CANCEL F-35 LIGHTNING PURCHASE AND MAINTENANCE
2. ASEAN APPLICATION

WHY TURNBULL IS POINTLESS: WE'RE NOT LISTENING TO THEM ANYMORE

Trump, in my opinion, is a dangerous guy: According to Henry Giroux, a ''turning point'' in American history.

As part of Asia and the ASEAN region, we need not be part of that landscape. Those who fail to stand for any value other than their own success subside in failure.
