Finals start this week. As the ancient Zen proverb goes, "If you understand, things are just as they are; if you do not understand, things are just as they are." Blogging will be light.

Rusty the quote by Thomas Mann is that some sort of koan also ? When I googled him it turns out that Thomas Mann was a homosexual communist. Am I the first one to have looked him up ? Where is agent Smith ? Isn't he the one who is supposed to do that kind of thing ? Why Rusty ? Why have a quote from a homosexual communist on your banner ?

So what? Truth comes from the strangest quarters. Sometimes even from gay cowboys eating pudding.

It's a strange paradox that people who can be so absolutley wrong about so many things can actually have a profoud original thought now and then. But then, a stopped clock is still right twice a day.

The quote comes from a character in his seminal work, The Magic Mountain. Maybe he was channeling his inner hetero-libertarian.

Hondo you are just more open minded than most here. Either he licks d*** or he doesn't. Those 6 kids weren't his own. And stop pretending that you knew anything about him before you googled him.

Actually it was a play on words - the difference between a Western lib/left socialist and a hardcore communist is lack of commitment. They really can't decide which way they want to go - or how far. Note how that plays back on the homo/bi-sexual thing. Didn't get it, huh?
"Stop pretending that you knew ...."? Why does that bother you. You would be surprised are all the things I don't know - and all the things you think you do.
