After shuddering to contemplate they may be wearing the vaster part of their net worth, what strikes us is the unnerving dignity of our deportees, whatever they may be wearing. They chronically degrade us to the end.Laurenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17972899387484460347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4751850602006071202.post-41053957604973093902010-10-03T11:59:17.135-04:002010-10-03T11:59:17.135-04:00following along with this conversation- though I a...following along with this conversation- though I add nothing a great import- I can not help notice the photograph in detail- All beautifully dressed-suits, hats awaiting fate-as if going to sunday services.P.Gaye Tapp at Little Auguryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15115534755711063462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4751850602006071202.post-3531240047328121602010-10-03T10:53:42.224-04:002010-10-03T10:53:42.224-04:00B, just as a man who'll act has his own lawyer...B, just as a man who'll act has his own lawyer has a fool for a client, a bishop in his own case has his crook for a flock. Dean Swift took his measure for us well, supra. But to master friendliness in "an endless desire for friendship" is the harder course to take. By remarks such as yours, we see it can be done.Laurenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17972899387484460347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4751850602006071202.post-74100300778521287952010-10-03T09:16:19.026-04:002010-10-03T09:16:19.026-04:00Laurent, one of your most moving posts.

This text translates as "Such an endless desire for friendship" - a quotation from a poem by a Dutch Jewish gay poet, Israel de Haan. <br /><br />Judging by what one hears of the situation in of a self-appointed bishop and his anti-homosexual sermons in Atlanta your photograph in the railway station underlines the saying "he does not learn from history is doomed to repeat it."Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07652670896513329236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4751850602006071202.post-48026924619556815032010-10-03T04:10:36.282-04:002010-10-03T04:10:36.282-04:00I'd vastly rather see 5 bright kids throwing o...I'd vastly rather see 5 bright kids throwing out their wikipedia.Laurenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17972899387484460347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4751850602006071202.post-90899627600235305672010-10-02T21:03:59.652-04:002010-10-02T21:03:59.652-04:00my point exactly...the most vile comment, as if it...my point exactly...the most vile comment, as if it could possibly be something worth considering . <br /><br />laurent for president.by land by air by seahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14244944447278013755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4751850602006071202.post-16962489966538364222010-10-02T20:14:20.566-04:002010-10-02T20:14:20.566-04:00A nation which can create a School of the Americas...A nation which can create a School of the Americas (1946-present) in the bosom of its Defense Department, to train, seduce, network with and co-opt thugs from every corner of Latin America, and invade Guatemala (the host nation for this pharmaceutical trial) officially and otherwise at a wave of its hand - always on the side of securing repression in situ - is to be regarded as unaccountably inefficient in medically dooming the incarcerated and infirm to torments, dissipation, ruin and rotting death, when it has its own stooges at the highest levels of local military, police, and bureaucracy, to infect them for nothing. But if this is just Tuskeegee's degenerate epidemiologist, freelancing on holiday, it's not surprising that he brought his penis carver, his hookers, and his spiked hors d'oeuvres to this pathetic satrapy of the American hydra, with impunity.<br /><br />"Cured?" What could be more beside the point? No, I think the signature element is the observation that a test to determine the effectiveness of penicillin had to be abandoned because the darn stuff just costs so much. He knew that before he packed his bags. What's the expression? "Mission Accomplished" - we reaped the whirlwind, our work is done.Laurenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17972899387484460347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4751850602006071202.post-84286673813472568672010-10-01T23:48:44.064-04:002010-10-01T23:48:44.064-04:00I heard the researcher who uncovered this intervie...I heard the researcher who uncovered this interviewed on CBC Radio (in Canada) this evening.
