I will admit, however, that I cannot defend myself from the fear of jeers. It is too natural for me to dare boast of being superior to it; and I am far from consoling myself in the hope that when my memoirs appear I will be no more. I cannot imagine without horror contracting some obligation with death, which I detest. Happy or unhappy, life is the only treasure that man possesses, and those who do not love it are not worthy of it. We prefer honor to it, because infamy inherits it. If in the alternative we kill ourselves, philosophy must be silent. O death! Cruel law of nature, which reason must condemn, because it is made only to destroy it. Cicero says that it delivers us from pain. This great philosopher records the expense, and does not take into account the receipt. I do not remember whether when he wrote his Tusculanes, his Tulliole was dead. Death is a monster that chases an attentive spectator from the great theatre before a play that interests him ends, with infinite finality. This reason alone must be enough to hate it.
–From Casanova’s memoirs.
Laurel says
The “drill baby, drill” is nonsense. All countries involved in oil extraction, including ours, are not going to allow the price of oil go down to the point where they will not profit. Meanwhile, Trump will lower the quality of our beautiful, National Parks.
The stupid will not stop until he is gone.
Pogo says
@Laurel
True.
Meanwhile, we’re told, there’s still time to get on the trump train.
I’ll walk.
Chip D says
You guys screw this up so much it’s going to be a possible 12-year walk
Laurel says
Pogo: Take this train with me, and we’ll go in the opposite direction of the *Trump* train:
Good morning America, how are you?
So don’t you know me, I’m your native son?
I’m the train they call the City of New Orleans,
I’ll be gone 500 miles when the day is done.
Thank you Steve Goodman, Arlo, Willie, Johnny and others
