"A conscientious man would be cautious..."

                                            congress deliberating on legislation
                                          can a bee sting a mouse to death and then eat it?
                                              artfully depicted bug with long antenni
                                                   it might be nice to return as a dragonfly
                                              artful fly with red...whatever...
 the score is still the same...humans losing the game...too many dead folks across the land...however i did watch some good youptupe and would like to recommend a couple...the one i watched this morning was very interesting as it was mike wallace interviewing aldous huxley in 1958...huxley was a man who sort of saw through time in his book "Brave new world"......many of the things he predicted in this dystopian novel  seemed to be starting to happen....pay attention to the details of huxleys response's...it is kind of frightening to think that "Brave New World" was written a few decades before this interview...and now several decades later the predictions still hold true....

also there was a very interesting  interview on "firing line" with w.f. buckley...it was called "the warren report; fact or fiction' with mark lane...this was shortly after the kennedy assassination...i was in the 4th grade when this deed  took place but i have always felt that i was somehow suspected of being complicit in this deed....i remember i stood up and went to what was called the "cloak" room to sharpen my pencil...i had never seen a cloak except on little red riding hood...we had coats an sweaters...anyhow when i returned there were two teachers in the classroom and they stared at me strangely and then they announced that school was over for the day...there was no grassy knoll or anything like that in the cloakroom but i felt kind of suspected anyhow...

you might also want to find a youptupe documentary about a guy named georg cantor who was a mathematician who studied infinity and other odd things...old georg died in an insane asylum after thinking too much about infinity...sounds about right...i was watching one of my "consciousness" interviews with a guy from Amsterdam who studied physics then studied psychology and he said that quantum physics was too complicated for anyone to understand....(for now i assume)...but i like to watch these documentaries to keep my brain somewhat active...i know from the medical lectures that to make the synapses and dendrites grow you have to repeat the stimulus many times...so i do...
