<The days of planning for the future don't ever seem to come for a troglodyte like George Bush and his merry band of Natty Neanderthals. >

Ray, the market is doing the planning. That's King George II's plan too. And he'll milk the market to feed his war machine.

It's an olde-style empire. The king collects taxes and wages war. The manor and the market produce the goods.

< William Wordsworth
England, 1802
ii
MILTON! thou shouldst be living at this hour:
England hath need of thee: she is a fen
Of stagnant waters: altar, sword, and pen,
Fireside, the heroic wealth of hall and bower,
Have forfeited their ancient English dower
Of inward happiness. We are selfish men;
O raise us up, return to us again,
And give us manners, virtue, freedom, power!
Thy soul was like a Star, and dwelt apart;
Thou hadst a voice whose sound was like the sea:
Pure as the naked heavens, majestic, free,
So didst thou travel on life's common way,
In cheerful godliness; and yet thy heart
The lowliest duties on herself did lay.

They forced me at school to learn a stupid poem and that one was my choice. If I didn't comply with their stupid idea they would stop my progress toward and engineering degree. Barbarians!

Oddly though, I quite like that poem now.
