Act of an enemy...

The one that makes/forces us 

To indulge in... 

Acts of folly and turns us in to

A subject of mischief.

A tyrant in and amongst us......

Its a Mistake to think this Fault 

[tyranny] is proper only to Monarchies; 

Other Forms of Government are liable to it, 

as well as that. 

For where-ever the Power 

that is put in any hands for 

the Government of the People, and 

the Preservation of their Properties, 

is applied to other ends, and 

made use of to impoverish, 

harass, or subdue them to 

the Arbitrary and Irregular Commands of 

those that have it: 

There it presently becomes Tyranny, 

whether those that thus use it are one or many.

-- John Locke (1632-1704). 
English philosopher and political theorist

Reflections of a Nomad...

Fact creates norms, and 

Truth illumination.


          *         *         *         *         *


You can´t legislate stupidity.

          *         *         *          *          *


               Evolution


Life in the oceans must be sheer hell. 


A vast, merciless hell of permanent and 

immediate danger. 

So much of a hell that during evolution 

some species - including man - crawled, 

fled onto some small continents of solid land, 


where the Lessons of Darkness continue.
