Since this is all under DISQUS’ tent now, read their list of permissible tags. The and tags (Leonard’s favs) used to work with DISQUS, but they intentionally killed them.

“Gallus in sterquilinio suo plurimum potest”
- Seneca the Younger (4 BC – AD 65)
“Be grateful for all the ploys, the pranks, the ambushes, the trials and obstacles that life has put on your way. They test your will. They prove your strength. And more importantly, they build you stronger. They prepare you for what’s coming. The Edge. Your own Edge. I have destroyed all your bridges behind you. You have no way left but forward. Come. Advance.”
– Lady Time (46,500,000,000 BC – ????)
“Why, O hard-hearted woman, do you let the wretched man be tormented? Isn’t he ever to have a rest, after being tortured so long? It is the sixty-fourth year that he has been afflicted with life. What grudge have you got against him? Give him over to death! Let a better man reign in his place!”
- Seneca the Younger (4 BC – AD 65)

A war is a bidimensional entity. Its abscissa and ordinate can be charted at any given point in time, like the fleeting faces of a flipping coin, and unless a perfect balance is achieved between both sides, there will always be a bully and a bullied.

In an 1860 letter to the American naturalist Asa Gray, Darwin wrote:
I own that I cannot see as plainly as others do, and as I should wish to do,
evidence of design and beneficence on all sides of us. There seems to me too
much misery in the world. I cannot persuade myself that a beneficent and
omnipotent God would have designedly created the Ichneumonidae with the express
intention of their feeding within the living bodies of Caterpillars, or that a
cat should play with mice…. “Letter 2814 —

Socrates says:
“
…There some, both at present and of old, who recognized that Spartanizing is much more a love of wisdom
than a love of physical exercise, knowing that the ability to utter such [brief
and terse] remarks belongs to a perfectly educated man. Among these were Thales of Miletus, and Pittacus of
Mytilene, and Bias of
Priene, and our own Solon, and Cleobulus of Lindus, and Myson of Chenae, and
the seventh of them was said to be Chilon of Sparta. They all emulated and
admired and were students of Spartan education, could tell their wisdom was of
this sort by the brief but memorable remarks they each uttered when they met and
jointly the first fruits of their wisdom to Apollo in his shrine at Delphi, writing what is on every man’s
lips: Know thyself, and Nothing too much. Why do I say this?
Because this was the manner of philosophy among the ancients, a kind of laconic brevity….Protagoras 342e-343b, trans. R.E.

A word from a mockingjay
Last Sunday, I heard the scream of a red-tailed hawk — but the timbre was not quite right.
I looked to the source of the call, and saw a Stellar’s jay in a treetop.
The jay then flew across the road into the words, and unleashed a stream of jaybird invective that almost made me blush.
Seeking a more tranquil roost, a hawk flew out of the woods and down the road.
The jay’s scream was not a simple bird call: it was a sound representing a definite object (the hawk) — in other words, a word. And I, a member of a different species, understood the jay to say: “There’s a hawk!”
We think we’re breaking ground by teaching sign language to apes. But in the field of interspecies communication, have we not been listening?
There is something extremely beautiful and magnetic inside a hawk. And its scream tears the air and echoes around like the quintessence of freedom and independence. I love these birds. Have you ever seen a peregrine falcon?
Nope, have not seen a peregrine — they shoot by too fast. But we have plenty of marsh hawks and kestrels in our area, and one morning I awoke to see a bald eagle eating a rabbit in my driveway.
…The Kyrgyz Horse has been bred in the steppes of central north Asia & Siberia by the Kyrgyz people for over 4000 years. These animals are different than Mongolian animals as they were domesticated prior to Mongolian civilization.

One example is the credit arbitrage vehicle, also known as a Structured Investment Vehicle (SIV).
