<What rough Beast slouches toward Baghdad,>

Gee, it's tough to be original! It's as bad as trying to come up with original cyberspace domain names. I have heard of Yeats [from some vicious high school teacher 4 decades ago]. Yeats is what you use to make bread rise [I didn't take biology some am not sure about that]...heh, heh!

I'm aliterate, so had never heard of the rough beast and Baghdad, but I asked Google and bingo, heaps of references, so you must be right.

I was thinking of "In the belly of the beast" and Eisenhower and the military industrial complex and Ted Kaczynski and stuff like that.

Oh, here's W B Yeats. poets.org Hmmm, even has a similar appearance to me [in younger days]. I wonder if language preferences are genetic. Died in 1939. I guess he won't be knocking at my door.

Google Akbar,
Mqurice
