************************************
TWO KINDS
*******************
There are two kinds of people:
(one) people who are actively engaged
in solving their problems; and
(two) there are Armenians.
*
With us there are always two,
sometimes even twenty-two schools of thought.
Nothing comes more naturally to an Armenian
than contradiction.
*
On the day pundits started analyzing Trump’s words
-- make it, verbal manure –
I knew America to be in deep xxxx.
*
Our past is a tragedy;
our present an unholy mess;
and our future:
Do we have one?

Re: crackpots

There are people who understand nothing and think they understand everything. I know such people exist because I was one of them. The older I grow the more I realize what a damn fool I have been most of my life.#armenians

If as a teenager I had read someone like me, I would have hated his guts.#armenians

To be misunderstood is almost to suffer an injustice.

CAREER MOVES
*****************************
For writers –
and this is especially true of Armenian writers –
dying has always been a smart career move.
*
My guess is
I will have many more readers
after I drop dead.
But gradually their numbers will dwindle
and after a week or two,
I too will be consigned to the dustbin of history.
*
SMART OPERATORS
******************************
The insane criminal
and the so-called sane society
within which he operates
are as connected as Siamese twins.
*
Remember, the 99%
do not formulate and implement racist policies,
neither do they declare wars
or organize massacres and genocides;
they only follow orders.
*
The truly insane are smart operators
like Rudy Giuliani who say
“Black lives matter is inherently racist.”

ON FAITH
AND RELATED ATROCITIES
****************************************
To be a man of faith means
to do things in the name of God
that most men wouldn’t dare to do
in the name of the Devil.
*
If you try to teach love of excellence
to self-satisfied mediocrities,
you will succeed only in making
mortal enemies.
*
I have nothing to say to those who know better –
that is 99% of my Armenian readers.

Re: crackpots

The Ottoman and Soviet tyrants have been swept into the dustbin of history, but Armenian greed and corruption continue to be covered up on the grounds that it is bad policy to expose our dirty linen in public. #armenians

Re: crackpots

Armenians love to argue, gossip, and dismiss writers with the comment, "Words are cheap." #armenians

Re: crackpots

When Nixon called Trudeau “an xxxxxxx” Trudeau is said to have commented: “I have been called worse names by better people.” Meaning: If I can survive the verbal abuse of good men, why should I give a damn what riffraff think of me?
