This is a little bit above me, but what you're saying is, you disagree with Pluto.
Plato.
You don't think philosophers should rule? I thought they was wise.
Rule? I didn't say they shouldn't rule. How fast are we travelling? Why would you think someone calling themselves a philosopher.... never mind. How fast?
I've no idea.
You didn't read the books I recommended, did you?
I couldn't remember one, and no one's heard of the other.
What do you mean, no one's heard of it?
Searched online. Every bookshop within a ten mile radius. Presumably it was some kind of April Fools?
What were you looking for?
What you told me to look for: The Bertha Tragedy.
You're an idiot.
You can't say that any more, I've retired. My last day today. 65 today!
Oh! Congratulations, My best to you and Mrs derleydoo.
How'd you know I call myself derleydoo? My private life's private.
No secrets in this office, you should know that. I take it you have signed the non-disclosure agreement?
Paraphrasing. Putting together the incidents of the last 65 years.
Genuine milestone. An old age pensioner. That would account for my exuberance!
Today. Did more people join the ranks of pensioner, or did more people leave the rank of pensioner?
Free at Last. Thank God Almighty. Free at Last.![]()

K: from your brother from a different mother, congrats....I am truly happy for you....
the reason I haven't participated in this particular thread is simple, I haven't been
awake at three am. and that was the requirement of this thread..... to be awake at three am....
until tonight.... I finally had the day off and the thoughts of several days were rolling
around my mind... so I wrote and wrote and wrote.... and now my mind won't shut
up and let me sleep... so here I am...... thanking Mr. Derleydoo for his escape from
the burdens of work..... thank god he is free, free at last.........
as for me...I don't write to change the world... as Mr. Derelydoo wrote me....
No, I am not vain enough, with ego enough to attempt to change the world..
that takes a young man's ego and I am just behind derelydoo in age...…
and thus no longer young......I no longer hope to change
the world... at best, I hope to get someone to consider changing their mind...
little less changing the world... it is kinda like when I was younger and wanted
to win the billion dollar lottery.....Nowdays, I would be happy with a buck
and change in lottery winnings....I am dismissed by many around here and that
is ok...because they value shallow and superficial philosophy... should they
ever consider me a "valuable" philosopher, I would have to reconsider
my writings as junk.. and perhaps give up serious philosophy and read
the harlequin romance version of philosophy which is Ayn Rand...and think
what deep thoughts lie there...…..uhhhh, not.....
I really don't know what I want to say here outside of congrats to derelydoo… and I hope to be free someday as he is
free...…

Right..
I'm not so sure of it myself, but I would gather, I would consider a middle of the road to be a justifiable position, but since checks and balances can not define how centered is the center nowadays, I wouldn't mind seeing a triumvirate split the ominous power standing on a scary pedestal. That way balance may be perceived somewhat.
Perhaps a social democratic aristocracy, not based on writeoffs , or deep pockets, but on limits, controls, and national-international equity, based on variable values.
Naturally contradictions may be the course, however, the impending visit of Trump to Merry Old, may underline some conspiratorial function, disserving any hope for such equiminity.
As far as changing the rules, well, they were somewhat imprecise, but can be set back. On 2 blogs o was off only by a couple of hours. and as I understand it, that's fairly on target.
There are nights when I'm out of it even when not out, nut those kind of nights leave much to be desired .

Meno_ wrote:It's within the rule today I guess, the triumvirate can be taken metaphorically tnt because it takes more then power to impose the center without creating an impossible change in the role of the executive.
However the forthcoming President may not be able to changes role, based on a democratic base, that is how strongly this has been effected.
The imbalance is evident in the Brexit fiasco, where very much more maturity has produced procedures in that country more able to handle Napoleon complexes.
Its ironic thatntje Continental Divide , the scar left and become a scab, had been reexposed to the rays of the sun, a new Metternich need arise, for treating the symptoms had resulted in the two world wars, reducing politocal equity to a hold, aspiring toward a third.
Trumpism is merely comic affect, a desperate one at that, and the backfire
could spread into a calamitous salon of unprecedented barbarism.
Do not inflame the passions of the long repressed soul of man.
Naivety posing as virtue has life only as long as the blinkers can be kept on.
