My honor and integrity as a freeloader on this here list-serv requires me
to bring attention to the probability that neither perspective, nor
prospective, nor introspective, nor anyotherspective could cause me to give
a tinker's damn or a thinker's damn, no more so than what any born-again
two-dollar-scholar sitting in one of dives on Acropolis Street has to say
about Democracy and what dictators do. The elderly rubbish they make into
memes and sing them like hymns to whomever will listen.
Our apathetic-grave saving hero Thucydides, who knew all that that
sump pump Trump had to say: was said several thousand Thursdays ago in
speeches to the elderly, rubbish talked to an apathetic grave. The
plutocrats grow fat on mismanagement and grief, so please, we must suffer
them again. Who the fuck cares? We didn't ask to be born. Don't tell me
what I should be doing. I'm going to take a leak in the women's john and
show them how to write their names in snow. So there. Outward! Ever
onward and downward and outward, says me. Mikey.

I once caught an admissions letter touting the advantages of studying in
It began with: "Dear Perspective Student ..."
As Geary notes, the Acropolis in Athens, as opposed to most buildings in
Rome, are built "along wrong perspective lines". This gave Geary the idea
that the real inventors of perspective were what he called "the Renaissance
men; to wit: the males -- and females since I use "men" neutrally -- who
lived in the Italian Renaissance.
