Randomness Expelled

Douglas, Isle of Mann, 16 October 015.

I pulled ten books off myself after a quick shower and a late start. I wasn’t implicit and actually now that I see them lying on my bed. It’s nine and not ten. So what’s the point you may be asking.?

Simply, will it be enough to plagiarize the content enough to hold your interests. First, a book of insults by Samuel Johnson.

So what is “nonsense”? Well, according to the source; regarding the superior happiness of the savage, as penned by Rousseau, Johnson and Boswell argue more in regards to its speakers knowledge of the inherent nonsense of which he proclaims beatitudes from the lips, such as happiness and the savage life in this case.

In grabbing the second book off the stack, a hemispheric history of the Americas, The first word on the dust jacket is “food”.

Going to the index, I scan for the word but no luck. I’ll have to settle for the subtitle under Independence stated as, “democracy”. I spot Tocqueville mid page. Just to point out that he and Aristotle were at ends in regards to the subject.

Quite uncertain on what I should say there. Of course the fact simply put is that ideologies can definitely run the scholarly gambit and perhaps in all cases, do. As an ethnographer of a complex society, Tocqueville concluded Democracy was inevitable in outcomes, while Aristotle’s doctrine leads itself to anarchy and tyranny, blah, blah, blah.

It matters only in semantics and typology to me that whether or not truth abides in the minds of men, the development of subjective emotive response lacks legitimacy in public wisdom and the empowerment of citizens, savage or educated.

O.K., the third book on my stack. A funny one indeed. I just cracked open to a page which happens to be chapter IV, on Ethics. Well lest just plagiarize it. Here Goes: DIMITRI: I’ve been thinking about your question, what does “good” mean, and I’ve got the answer ----“good” is acting on a just principal.

TASSO: By Zeus, Dimitri, your full of surprises ----you’re starting to sound like a real philosopher. Just one last question: How do you determine just principles?

DIMITRI: Du-uh! Just like everybody else. I learn them from my mom.

TASSO: (aside): Why does Socrates get all the “A” students?

So, on to the next since I sense my readership waxes into oblivion.

Oh! Why do I bother. The book is on the Cold War and the House Committee On Un-American Activities (HUAC). Now we have conveniently enough the Department of Homeland Security and all that. God Bless America is all I’ll say here.

So, I’m bored. Left in the stack is a book on Zen, Alice In Wonderland, The Imatation of Christ, and lastly, Politically Correct Bedtime Stories.

Goodnight.
