Re: crackpots

We are an old civilization
but when it comes to being dupes of propaganda
we behave as though we were born yesterday.

Re: crackpots

You have something to say?
Remember, the chances are
someone else has said it already
and much better.

Re: crackpots

Why did they massacre us?
Because they could.
Why did we allow them to massacre us?
Because we didn’t know any better.
It takes two to tango.

Re: crackpots

To contradict someone who lives in harmony
with his own misconceptions, prejudices and fallacies
is like interrupting a honeymoon.

If I hold a mirror up to you and you don't like what you see there, why blame the mirror?

"You stress the negative," I am told again and again.
Even from a critic they want flattery. Even from a dissident they want agreement.

Re: crackpots

"Our party has been criticized again and again from the day of its inception but it has successfully survived all its critics." A stupid boast! So what? Longevity is a questionable criterion. Murder, rape, and war have a millennial history: does that make them worthy of our respect? The Ottoman Empire lasted six hundred years: does that make it a better system than French or American democracy? A criticism should be judged on its merits and nothing else.#

Re: crackpots

I understand Armenians because I grew up in an Armenian ghetto; I had an Armenian education; and I have spent most of my life working for them. I could write a dictionary of Armenian fallacies, clichés, misconceptions, and prejudices, all of which have been mine at one time or another.

In 1933 Germans trusted Hitler more than Thomas Mann. Marx is right. History repeats itself, first time as tragedy, second time as farce.

Re: crackpots

On the radio this morning
I heard a woman define a great lover
as “a man who makes love to you for eight hours
and then turns into a pizza.”
She must have been a black widow spider in a previous life.
