lot of eclipses lately

Note to Google and your stupendous idiocy of censorship:
Naturally, most of what I do is drivel. Relied mostly upon a poor memory with so-so nutrition to fund it. Here is some Emerson, remember him?, only when you forget those stupid memories you call thoughts does his sagacity sink in.
Trust thyself: every heart vibrates to that iron string.
Accept the place the divine providence has found for you,
the society of your contemporaries, the connection of
events. Great men have always done so, and confided
themselves childlike to the genius of their age, betraying
their perception that the absolutely trustworthy was
seated at their heart, working through their hands, predominating
in all their being. And we are now men, and
must accept in the highest mind the same transcendent
destiny; and not minors and invalids in a protected corner, not cowards fleeing before a revolution, but guides,
redeemers and benefactors, obeying the Almighty effort
and advancing on Chaos and the Dark.

Amen brother.

Emily Dickinson as read by Michael Scott

ON the bleakness of my lot
Bloom I strove to raise.
Late, my acre of a rock
Yielded grape and maize.

Soil of flint if steadfast tilled
Will reward the hand;
Seed of palm by Lybian sun
Fructified in sand.

Divided British Court Upholds Extradition of WikiLeaks Founder Julian Assange to Sweden

In this clip we see the Senator's protege upholding the law of the land, specifically, the Senator's responded belief that the land is corrupted with no-good-buggery (or something like that.) Without hesitation, the protege follows the commands of his authority figure. Of course, in this instance, the detestable actions of this group in helping implement "Order 66" made them legitimate targets, as well as justifiable scapegoats (thanks to the secrecy.) You see, the Senator does not care who he lies to, telling Anakin he can save his wife from death, restoring order to the Empire, or getting quislings to do his bidding, and then killing them, is all the same to someone like him, who allies himself with power. Don't be a quisling. In a fortnight we will see.
