Flatulence and Smoke
I invoked Barnett and demand explain him.
But I'll not all though I might if you hung
On every word instead of reading every third
Or none at all. I would need a reason of my own
Which I don't have. Neither you nor Irene,
Good night, read more than a sentence
On each page; so your righteous indignation
Is mere flatulence and smoke. Mere
Flatulence and smoke, and beyond that
I've covered recently all that you ask within your post
Which you could have read if you read more
Than a sentence on each page; so your righteous
Indignation is mere flatulence and smoke.
What are you smoking that obscures your
Vision so you read no more than a sentence
On each page? You say you state it plainly,
But I've stated plainer still that your righteous
Indignation is mere flatulence and smoke.
And as to Mike he seeks a crucifixion
Thinking greater love hath no man than
To be the greatest wag, and only be
Prevented by grace from the hangman's
Rope or the chair or the axe, but
Everyone could see it wasn't him, that
A false confession entered in his folder
Was a shining on his tab, and
His name could glisten on to the
The settling of contentions on his way.
Then you ask "can humans live in peace?"
Does peace exist in the notes you write,
Or in those of Irene? Is your peace hers?
The world can live in peace, I am quite sure,
When the pacifists and leftists give up war.

I'll state it very plainly. I'm asking you, not Fukyama or some professor at
some war
college.
1) What actions should be taken so world peace can be acheived? What do YOU
think should be
done?
2) Can humans live in peace? Or, once world peace has been acheived, will it
continue?
3) What mechanisms or social structures do you think will be necessary to
maintain the
peace?
4) What do you propose should be done to those who don't want to participate
in world peace?
5) Do you think Mike Geary is a) an okay joe b) a really cool cat?
6) Is Berlin really the best fucking city in the world?
