Are we really going to continue to parse what was never anything more than a meaningless exchange?

At this rate, I project ET's first official white paper to be published sometime around, oh, the day before the whole human race is annihilated in the perfect storm of Climate Crisis Cold War Jihad Economic Collapse AIDS Epidemic Civilization Clash...

concurrent with a really transparent, peoples'-needs-driven european constitution, i wager.

as above, so below...

poemless, if you come over to europe and live for a while, you will learn to Take Yourself With The Necessary Seriousness...

until then you will be merely entertaining us with us-ian levity.

Re: "jest", I said "wit" - (none / 1)

What, you don't take me seriously? Uhm, my country is on a rampage and wrecking everythign its path. Oh sure, it's just Iraq and thr US and the air quality and good taste now. But don't think you all are immune. One day we'll destroy you too. Then you'd wish you'd taken us Americans more seriously. Yes, you will...

Poemless, I'd love you to make a series of diaries under the following title:

Already being done. It's called "The European Salon de News, Discussion et Klatsch". Appearing daily.
