Such is the way of the world today

    By Jack Grant

John of Argghhh! was afflicted with the harsh light of now today, in a very personal way.

Fortunately, he was and is capable of handling such situations in a way that causes no new harm, and he comports himself in a way that I can only hope to dimly emulate if ever confronted with a similar circumstance.

Sadly, it is a note of our degenerate times that the occasion had to "be handled" with kid gloves in the first place, exemplifying yet another tragedy that comprises the harsh light of the now.

Jack, I posted quite a long response with links to other materials using your post here and your linked post "Old hopes that wither in the harsh light of the now" and John's run-away-boy situation on my site. Sorry, but I didn't want to repost it all here as it is really long with a ton of links.

We don't handle randomness well.
   -Dr. Lucy Jones


Trying to hold the center in not so quiet desperation while the left and the right do their damnest to tear everything apart.

What Others Say
An American transplanted to France for the moment, Jack is sometimes conservative, sometimes liberal, and almost always right.
   -Pennywit

Jack has an impressive knowledge of history, politics, and Keanu Reeves. When it comes to pirates, Jack is waaay sexier than that pansy Dread Pirate Roberts. Oh, wait--I'm thinking of Jack Sparrow...
   -Jennifer (Jennifer's History and Stuff)

Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the center cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
   -William Butler Yeats, January 1919


Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.
   -Dandemis

Wahabism Delenda Est
Wahabism must be destroyed.
-John Donovan, 12 May 2004
