The choices of the poor are limiting,
and hard to own as spurs to generosity.
But their choices are still more generous
within their limits than the luxuria of the rich.

History Is The Immurement
of the great and good by time,
through their deeds being mis-described
and where they are remembered at all
the deeds of the good are attributed to others.

Homo Erectus
is one of many forms of life before modern man
and there were many many phases before that,
from fish that swam to fish adapted to dry land.
In his adapted form modern man is such a creature
of nostalgia for a past that he cannot remember
that he misunderstands how much he wants return,
not just being the fish that survived out of the water
but the fish who made the waters nearer, with global warming.

life outside them seems to be.

In Ancient Times
Summer was when men took up war.
In peacetimes Summer is the time to riot,
march, or prepare a pageant.
Testosterone needs public ritual
to remain constant, ask Northern Ireland.

The Half And Half Of International Charity
multinational charities must be either
1)agreeably corrupt for the hierarchy
required to run them to work with
the rulers of the host country they work in,
or 2)benignly unaware of the terminal contradictions
within their mission statement for them to be able to continue.
For a charity to be even half effective in it's aims
it has to be less than half corrupt and not know it.
